He signed it on arrival in Portugal but the place they’re staying at doesn’t have any tables to do the standard contract signing photo.

And didn’t make it onto the pitch in 7. Over a third of the games he spent there he didn’t get onto the pitch. Not what I would call a successful loan spell.

Agreed. Numerous times in the last 3-4 seasons we’ve had players going out and either not getting game time or, in some circumstances, not making matchday squads. I get we can’t dictate too much but it’s very scattergun. Even back to Eccles going out on loan and making 14 appearances for...

(If it were actually happening) to prop up the wage bill and infrastructural improvement I’d expect.

This was reported alongside the €20m bid. As it’s now increased to €24m I’d expect the sell-on clause has reduced. Didn’t someone suggest that in Portugal it’s customary for the sell-on fee to be calculated on the full sale price, rather than just the profit?

Can’t have the same one twice. Carl Dickinson.

That’s stumped me, genuinely don’t know who it is. Anton Robinson.

Hey piss off, I’ve said him already. Lee Sawyer.

Stop using academy players, it’s basically cheating. Donovan Simmonds.

Che Bunce.

Absolutely appalling. Seems a student at the Academy there has stabbed a teacher. What is happening to the world.

Always a bit tricky to class a young player as injury prone as sometimes the injuries can be caused by growing. Think it was Steven Gerrard who was constantly injured as a youngster but went on to be virtually ever-present. As for another CM, I think in an ideal world I would, but equally I...
