    Robins on season

    Rose Rumour

    More likely to be a straight swap offered. The extra value of Walsh balanced by the longer contract of Rose (I assume City have a 1 year option - so 2 years for Rose versus 1 for Walsh). If Robins has a target for centre back he'll probably take it... unless he's already filled the Walsh role...

    Rose Rumour

    You guys do make me smile. Arguing and getting cross with each other over what price we'd sell a player for on the basis of an unsubstantiated rumour. None of us know anything about it but it's worth getting angry over?

    Rose Rumour

    Exactly who puts in an offer - an existing Premiership or Championship side or even Inter Milan has no bearing on it. If he's been playing well there's a possibility that an offer will come in and Robins will hopefully/probably have a replacement ready. The Premiership connection only...

    That's a shame. He thinks the world of you.

    Rose Rumour

    I will be amazed if Robins hasn't identified a centre back he wants on a free or similar. He must have realised months ago that we could very well go up with the football we've been playing and performances all round. He knew several of our players would attract bids and if he thinks he can...

    Rose Rumour

    Or people who write the question eh? as Ay? or Aye? I always have to double take as I think they are saying yes in Medieval English.

    George Floyd

    lol. I can't believe I'm having a conversation on a football forum with some random bloke criticising a universally accepted economic formula. So which multi-dimensional model (which pays extra attention to the extremes) would you anti-capitalists use? Because I think the answer is 'The...

    George Floyd

    Richard Murphy is, IMHO, a low-brow Marxist activist. However the one thing I do admire about him is that he doesn't even pretend that he's a qualified economist. He uses the term 'political economist' to describe himself - which is basically a made-up title to avoid admitting that he has...

    George Floyd

    However the difference is that I've quoted the oracle as source in both cases and you've just written 'No'. It hasn't really been a compelling argument on your side. Thanks for your contribution Tony. I'm not muting you because you're not unpleasant but I am ignoring it because I don't think...

    It's a calculation. The definition of the calculation is clear. This is not about manipulating statistics, it's about making a calculation using a formula and then publishing the result. There is no manipulation because the formula is defined up front. I repeat, what is it about the formula...
