Not even the best Brady to invest in Birmingham City.

Lowest unemployment rate in decades and easing inflation will be the message. (Stock market is flying as well, but Biden likely won’t go there) Again, Biden isn’t going to inspire Obama-like devotion, but that was true in 2020 too and it was still enough to win against a candidate who has only...

What has Trump done since 2020 to endear himself further to the swing voters he alienated during his first term? Biden is obviously not a compelling candidate, but he has the advantage of being the incumbent, a solid economy, and an opponent despised by millions who could well go to prison if...

Tavares meeting Haji at Ryton tomorrow morning:

Surely the only explanation for introducing the nickname “Sheafo” is so that it fits into a “Sheafo, Haji-Haji” reboot?

Slowpoke by name

And as we’ve discussed in previous pages, there’s very little to suggest that a good strike rate in Turkey will mean he’ll be successful here. With Wright we’re betting on his attributes and his ability to develop. I trust Robins and our scouts to do that because they’ve got a good track record...

Well we already know you can sign a highly rated young PL striker with a decent Championship/L1 scoring record, AND the best wing-back in the Eredivisie for roughly the same price upfront as we’re paying for Wright. Personally I was expecting us to keep on that track if we still had money in the...

I know the sample size of players who’ve actually made the move is small, I just meant the size of the Turkish league itself is no different to other leagues! Anelka and Campbell already had well-established records in England of course. The fact that there doesn’t appear to be many (if any)...

The sample size is as big as any other league, surely? I’m just looking for an indication that a good goalscoring record in Turkey can translate to a good goalscoring record here.

Any other suggestions? I can’t think of any, and it’s my main reason for being concerned at the price tag…

Just heard the segment myself - it was Joe Walsh (a former Republican congressman with, by his own admission, a history of racist posts on Twitter) and Seb Gorka (a former Trump admin official who now works as a host on Newsmax and a part-time fish oil salesman). BBC Rolodex working overtime...

With his base, sure (see: @dutchman) But his base wasn’t enough to beat Biden in 2020 and none of this is helping him persuade swing voters to change their minds. Especially when things are generally pretty healthy with the economy.

Seems about right. Sure you could quibble with a couple of the Category designations, but whatever. Sucks if you’re a teenager.

Based on what? Would love to see their numbers… The current polls are way too early and have Trump and Biden tied. But with the US economy doing very well and Trump looking at three different court cases?

Well with Gyokeres we got to try before we buy, while Hamer was one of a few similarly sized gambles that season, along with Walker and Sheaf. We weren’t counting on them all to work out, and they didn’t. Our transfer portfolio was diversified, we moved on. Yes, we apparently have £7 million to...

And quite scary too! Incidentally we have signed a striker from Turkey before. Expectations were also high:

Who is the last striker from the Turkish SuperLig who had a good goalscoring record in the top two English divisions?

I don’t think any of those signings compare to this one. Hamer is the closest comparison and was a stunning success but this is totally different - it’s a huge gamble, and if it fails it’s a disaster that could set us back years.
