Literally the only time I’d even think about using him at CM would be if we were playing a counter attacking game, but even then I’d be concerned by his defensive frailty.

Have you had a lobotomy?

Tend to disagree re the Tories winning in spite of him. I think his presence attracted a lot of support from plenty who would not traditionally vote Tory because “Boris Lad”.

That is genuinely my concern. We’ve seen with both Johnson and Trump how much the cult of personality can cut through. If Farage does indeed make a play at the Tory leadership I fear we may be headed that way. As it happens I also had a look at Reform’s accounts - huge director’s loan position...

Personality clash as in a clash with Sean Morrison’s elbow?

I get the distinct feeling we’re looking at a one-term Labour government where pretty much everything improves across the board but the country doesn’t accept it because ‘vibes’. Bit like America.

Yes but you’re not running for Prime Minister. I expect my PM to not only know the “price of milk” but the price at each individual shop in Britain.

Funny, that. https://www.channel4.com/news/nigel-farage-ukip-letter-school-concerns-racism-fascism

So you use stats, albeit very subjective ones. I tend to hop on FotMob and see what their statistical breakdown is compared to others in that respective league playing in that position. The idea that stats are worthless is for the birds; if that’s the case, then why do clubs have data analysis...

Long shot but if you said we could sign Browne, Sanches and Stamenic if we lost Sheaf, I’d take it.

And Farage campaigned for a ‘Norway-style’ deal regarding Brexit, but when the vote came in it was hard Brexit or nothing. Certainly can’t take him at his word.

Dunk was looking really good 12 months ago but had a rather underwhelming season this year. Branthwaite I’d have also taken as the only fit left-footed defender we have. All well and good saying he’s not a left back, but neither are Gomez or Konsa. No reason we couldn’t play him as a very...

Might get something at a v good rate locally but it’ll be hit and miss. When I was in France for Euro 2016 I went drinking with some Belgian guys and went to Russia v Slovakia the next day. They had a spare ticket which was €155 face value and I had it for €50.

May have posted about him before, but Polish left back Bartlomiej Wdowik. When I looked at him earlier in the season his defensive stats weren’t great but seem to have been a decent improvement, and attacking output is fantastic for a full back (albeit takes set pieces including penalties).

Not that I overly believe the figures, but it could be linked to their wages. If Thomas is on a significantly higher wage (one which may not be affordable in L1) then they may be more desperate to offload.

Got 12 goals and 5 assists in a Wimbledon team that got relegated from L1. That’s a decent return aged 20. £2m would have been a snip.

Almost as if we don’t need to dogmatically stick to one setup. You’d really want a specialist 10 if we’re playing a midfield 3, even if the initial intention is to play a flatter 3.

In all honesty does this not make a case for investing in solar, etc? Not that the current weather would help us out much!

It’s not as if no one will bid until he’s back and fully fit. All the talking will go on during that period, I’d imagine, and then a deal subject to a satisfactory medical. Get where you’re coming from but rumour has it they’ve been wanting him to sign a new deal since about November. If he...

Bit of a left field shout (and by no means a rumour I’ve seen) but would anyone be interested in Troy Parrott joining? Seems to have had a respectable season in the Eredivisie, one year left on his deal at Spurs and very unlikely to break into their team. Probably not done as well as he could in...
