I see only 2 Prem clubs have Cat 2 academies, Brentford and Bournemouth. Plenty of Championship clubs have got Cat 1 though so we've fallen behind our direct opposition there, in fact struggling League One Reading also have a Cat 1.
No chance we do that, King and Lampard obviously have ambition. We're not scratters any more, we own our ground so we don't need to collect the money to purchase that which was the main reason given by many for taking such an approach if we were promoted in previous seasons. It won't be easy but...
I think quite a few of our first 11 at least would have to get good minutes and a lot of them would deserve it if we completed the job. It's a convo for the summer but personally I'd rather spend our budget, whatever it is, on 6 or 7 of quality rather than spread it too thin. Yes those 6 or 7...
Complacency on here is completely irrelevant, i don't know why people conflate the musings of lunatics on this place with what is going on within the camp.
As for Prem quality it doesn't matter as we aren't in it last time i checked :LOL: if we go up we'll probably spunk something around the...
I'll be honest I tend to forget about most of them until their faces come up and I'm like, "fucking hell not that clown." That's probably most of the refs in this league on reflection, I do remember getting really wound up be Allison, Ward and Madley though.
The biggest whopper in English football and that is saying something. Absolutely desperate to be the main character and picked exactly the right club as the gormless twats gobble up every word and stroke his ego. In fact I'm betting his words and ego aren't the only things of his they are...
Be good for forum points if we picked up a player you scouted personally. He does look good and a good age too, plus the fee would be a drop in the ocean if we actually got promoted.
You'd think he'd at least have to get a bit better but given cost, contract length, wage and age, I think they've saddled themselves with a bit of a stinker here.
He'll get to the summer at an age and with 1 year left on his contract where he'll be available at a price one of the top Dutch teams would probably take him. I think that is where he'll end up.
