    It’s all subjective mate. I’ve gathered with my personal experience from travelling is every city has its nice and **** places, some cities are just bigger. I don’t think one city stands a mile above anywhere else


    Actually, most of Birmingham is an utter ****hole.

    Ultimately we're not as appealing to players as a club or as a city in comparison to Chelsea.

    It’s a shame players don’t look to actually benefit their footballing career anymore.

    They’re more bothered about what the missus thinks.

    This is why we're pissing against the wind trying to compete for players like Pedro. They're already established in the PL.

    Was Howes claim of getting things done early a sign of why. Think about it. We should have got these deals over the line but we have pissed about and lost all of his choices.

    He must be furious.

    But for foreign players growing up in Brazil they’ve prob only ever heard of London.

    It’s like someone fro UK moving to Australia, majority are going to pick Melbourne or Sydney, Munich in Germany, if going to Slovenia, prob going to go Bratislava. There are 100s of places that are prob nicer to live in all these countries but majority of foreign people only know the big cities.

    Not a chance lad, if I was Brazilian I’d be looking straight for Grimsby. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    nah in all seriousness I get what you mean, just irritating having lived there and experienced it myself.

    Saving this for future reference. I'm starting to suspect that the club is now totally clueless and useless in the transfer market since Amanda Staveley moved on. F*ckin' this window up will confirm it!

    We were 5th, won the League Cup and are in the Champion's League - we are definitely competing with the big 6. The fact that we can't compete with them for the big signings but can still do it on the field is a good thing surely.

    We had a good season but revenues will dictate the reality. The status quo will return unfortunately and we have to be prepared to fall away and have seemingly more difficult seasons.

    I don't think the vast majority of the fanbase are prepared and won't take it all into consideration.
