Maybe we brought him in to look after McFadzean?

I agree on the whole with you rpoint to which the most obvious path to a solution is "make it so they don't want/need to leave their country of birth/origin". But that involves providing aid, education and sharing of economic opportunities with those poorer nations to help themselves. yet the...

I'm all for the control of drugs via regulation and taxes. it won't remove the black market but it will reduce it's impact. yes you'll lose those minor fines for possession etc and increase costs with bureaucracy but that'd be a drop in the ocean compared to taxes. Not only that it could reduce...

It does have an element of Corbyn's Brexit response. "Say you'll support Brexit" "But then we'll lose half the country as remainers and a lot of the more liberal left-wing" "Well say you'll have a second referendum then" "But then I'll risk losing half the country as Brexiteers and a lot of...

What I suggested we do nearer the start of the season when we were constantly playing out from the back. Mix it up a bit so they don't know whether to press or not. Football equivalent of rope-a-dope. If you do it all the time you know you can apply the press without fear of having it lumped...

plus he played well.

Really not sure. having been cooped up for so long I think a lot of people will just want to do almost anything to socialise so no reason why football wouldn't be part of that. Depending on the response clubs will of course be willing to use pricing strategies to entice people back into the...

For me at the moment it's kelly - the difference between him being available and not is huge. He may not be fancy or grab headlines but he just makes the team play better going about his business, instructing, getting in the refs ear etc. O'Hare has been good, esp for the workrate but also in...

Indded they are but of the three (Walker, Godden and Biamou) the one I'd say is least likely to win and keep hold of the ball is Walker. He's a goalscorer so needs the support of others to do that. It's the same thing we had with Chaplin and to a lesser extent Ponticelli - they need others to...

It's an obligation and he's played quite a few games so I'd be quite surprised if we didn't, and if not I'd imagine they'd be some kind of financial penalty for it in the contract. Can we really afford to be spending money to NOT sign players? He needs to improve but there's something there to...

We won that game due to the collective effort of the team. So no, he didn't 'stand out' - he was just effective in a different way to others who were equally important. One of the goals was a (poorly struck) penalty that you'd hope at least half of the players on the pitch would score. His...

I agree. Assuming we keep Kelly, of those James is probably the one we could afford to miss out on most. Of course in an ideal situation having him in the squad would be great esp for the inevitable Kelly injury at some point but if Kelly can start to teach Sheaf and Eccles to be more vocal and...

Probably. But the issue of keeping Walker, Godden and Collins happy still remains in that scenario. Admittedly it'd be a nice problem to have and if Godden does end up having a recurring injury we've got that other option readily available. Budget also needs to be considered as it'd take a fair...

Yep. We tried the playing out from the back and kept on getting pressed and losing the ball but up until yesterday it's not something we ourselves had tried. Even the best teams like Man City and Liverpool fuck it up and concede goals, but they've got quality that if they do break through...

I think academically that could be the case - two polar opposites. Those wanting to learn aren't being disrupted or distracted by those that don't and can go at a pace they want, often quite a bit quicker than the pace of the class. On the other hand those than don't want to will be massively...

Surely it'd be Ballon L'Oreal

I think he might to play for his home town club but only if money was comparable. Although he has the experience now he's not a long term option with high resale so it would be a bit against our transfer policy. If anything were to happen here I reckon it'd be more along the lines of a Godden...

That may be the plan but whether it'll be feasible is highly doubtful. Osti I reckon is likely to get quite a few offers both here and abroad (Germany most likely) and quite a few of those interested will be able to offer him more and probably be closer to being able to meet his high ambitions...

I think it's probably about a quarter of a century too late for that. Even a hitman is harsh. Hoping the club can cash in on the old insurance for him?

Well he did come out for the first half practically in our kit, so the opposition may have though he was our henchman. When he reality he's just a hench man.
