Well clearly he prefers staying at a club like us and fighting for scraps than dropping down the league for regular football. Which I can well understand - he’s already stuck it out long enough to be a regular bench option here, and that might be better than he ever expected. But the idea that...

Yeah he pretty much is who he is at this point. Anyone suggesting a loan is just kicking the can down the road or afraid to get off the fence.

Don’t think a loan is going to do much for him unless we’re looking to manage him out the door - he’s nearly 22 and has played very little first team football, it’s a bit late to be giving him that experience. Hopefully he’s a diamond in the rough who has really kicked on this pre-season and can...

So his decision to roll out a potential death trap of a vaccine to the entire population as quickly as possible didn't really bother you? And was actually a strength of his premiership? Seriously mate, just pick one. You sound ridiculous.

According to this guy, yes:

Last summer we signed Gyokeres and Sheaf on permanent deals The summer before that we signed Hamer and O’Hare Today they’re all foundational parts of our team, and if we sold any of them we’d get a significant return. As far as progressing the quality of the squad, it’s been an exciting and...

So the cost of loaning, say, Ben Sheaf could ultimately be the same as buying Ben Sheaf if we didn’t satisfy the parent club’s loan conditions? That seems pretty tough.

To the extent that a PM can be personally responsible for a vaccine rollout, then maybe? I’m just curious why you specifically think that the rapid distribution of a vaccine which you thought so potentially dangerous that you refused to take it was suddenly a plus for Johnson? You weren’t...

Do you mean the vaccine which you steadfastly refused to take and repeatedly suggested was responsible for various health problems? You count that as a big win for Boris?

He got Brexit done but we’re the biggest EU contributor? Do I have that right?

Hahaha holy shit what a power move

The point is that last season we apparently had enough money to bring in several good players on permanent deals. Those same players contribute year on year and can be later sold for a profit. Apparently that isn’t the case this year, but you’re apparently fine with that?

So to be clear, you think that four loan signings would cost us just as much as four permanent signings?

If a summer of record season ticket sales, plus an extensive clearing of the decks of fringe first team players is only enough to secure one permanent signing all summer, then that’s very concerning indeed.

Their owners don’t really need to care about overpaying with transfer fees. It’s not like us, where we’re one Waghorn away from poverty at any time. I assume Phillips will help Man City fill their homegrown quota for the Champions League?

Now at least five people killed at a Fourth of July parade in Illinois It’s just becoming a miserable place to live

His spotty finishing is my worry. If he starts the season with another bad run like the one in the middle of last year then I wouldn't expect us to get an eight-figure sum for him.

Think there’s a good chance Vik is at his peak value now too.

Hey I ran the odds of Kyle Hudlin ever playing in the Championship through the computer for you, let me know if you want to go through the data sometime

I assume Tavares will be spending most weekends with the first team, if only to fill out the bench. No idea about the other two, but Cashman is already 21 and presumably not long for these parts if he’s not up to first team standard.
