He could run very quickly in a straight line, but that was about it.

Defensive midfield's all about energy, timing and positioning, not brute force. Kante, best defensive midfielder of his generation, and a wisp of a man. Makelele and Deschamps, who pretty much defined the role, were hardly giants, either. ETA: although obviously what drove their success was...

One of the less creditable rumours of recent times. Perhaps along with Balotelli. 😂 I could see why West Ham would want him, tbf. He's the quality to play at that level, I think, and all strikers go through peaks and troughs, so I don't think a minor drought would put a club off. But to me...

Surely no player will be offered a new contract until we know what division we are playing in next season?

I don't buy this being down to agitating for a move. One way or another, Wright's going to be looking for a new contract in the summer.

Having a defender named Haak could be good, or at least amusing. Perhaps we could find someone called Clogg to play alongside him.

We have significantly greater bargaining power this time. We had to sell Vik.

Jamie Patterson would be a Jamie Patterson type.

McSheffrey.

Nothing is certain, but if we don't go up there's going to be a firesale anyway. Wright, MvE for certain, Rudoni probably. There will be buyers for these players. Therefore, do you gamble? Forego larger fees now for the possibility of a massive windfall at the end of the season, and...

I don't think there's much chance we sell anyone at this stage, even for silly money. The potential windfall we'd have coming eclipses anything we get from an inflated transfer fee. Why upset anything?

What did we do for the .78?

Do you want to read that sentence back?

Well, this escalated. 🤣

If we're going to be offering for Rushworth, we'll have been promoted. If we get promoted, we will need a Premier League class goalkeeper. That would cost us significantly more than £5m. Dovin may yet be that keeper in the future, but he's still very inexperienced, and coming back from a very...

What the fuck are Manchester City wearing?

It would be funny if one of them said the crowd were poor, just for how much of a meltdown there would be. Tbf, the type of game we just had is never the type to raise din; it's edgy and everyone's nervous.

They turned down £5.5m, if the rumours are to be believed. I'd imagine we'd be looking significantly north of £10m. He's in their plans, we'd have to make it worth their while.
