Where Are Our Ex-Players and Staff Now?

Certainly couldn't fault his commitment but was sometimes too eager to go forward - got himself caught out of position too often. He was also prone to too many rash tackles. Italian football might sort him out, so good luck to him.

 

Agree.

He did care and tried his best .

 

I really liked his commitment and was prepared to overlook some of his shortcomings because of it. How many left backs have we got now?

 

1 plus Sema.

Really could do with some new players just to boost the squad size .

 

FGR already got a new manager in .

David Horseman - coached us once apparently.

 

I can't say that I remember him - was he sacked before he was appointed?

 

Pereyra possibly heading to Milan - both clubs want to sign him;
Deulofeu staying at Udinese;

But the big news is that Matthew Briggs has signed for Horsham...

Mr Integrity appears to working wonders with Celtic's defence...

 

He’s going to come back and haunt us isn’t he ?

 

Wonder if anyone is going to pay £15million for him?

 

Just my opinion, but they're mad if they do. He didn't impress greatly in his spell here.

 

Al Ahly have offered Fulham head coach Marco Silva a £40 million two-year deal to become their manager.

Some of the money being offered to players and now managers will have an effect in England. What we are seeing is a stripping out of not even the best so far.

 

Seems like they want everyone and anyone tbh.

Certainly agree but you just know he will go elsewhere and be good.

 

Has anyone seen any writing or analysis about why the Saudis have suddenly started splashing around all this money this season? It seemed like previously it was just the occasional player who had dropped out of being in leading teams going there for semi-retirement (e.g., Ighalo), until they bought Ronaldo mid-season and then this summery it's gone crazy. What's the trigger for all this? What's their master plan?

 

Probably something to do with greed and world domination.

 

Pretty much.

To boost their profile, standing and chances of getting the World Cup.

Wonder why Messi didn't go to Saudi though?

 

Maybe didn't want to take his wife there, given the reputation they have re attitude towards women. I don't know if the reputation is warranted or not, but I wouldn't risk taking my wife there.

 

And of course USA is closer to home where he maybe wants his kids to grow up?

Suppose we'll probably have one of them in our Academy in 15 years time!

I bet they will either hate football though as such or be defenders/ a goalkeeper.

 

Miami is pretty much latino also. Culturally similar to his roots.

 

Forgot about that - Cubans galore apparently.
