@skyblue1991 Reinvest the dividends!

Agreed. I just don’t think Henderson will be 100%, likewise with Maguire. When fit, two dead certain starters and Hendo is a good candidate for the captaincy should anything happen Kane. I’m not keen on starting Hendo and Rice, it’s one or the other for me!

He’s 17 and playing at a really high standard for that age. He had a v respectable debut and we should be proud we’ve got a player with his potential coming through the ranks. Either way, at best, he’s going to be a wildcard substitute for us in the main tournament. We have a lot of high...

Agreed, we need intelligent runs and pace to take full advantage of Kane’s range of passing. I’d probably stick with 4-2-3-1 and have a midfield comprising of Mount, Rice, Sancho, Grealish and Foden. Having players like Sterling, Rashford and DCL come off the bench is a big plus and give us a...

Qualifying records count for nought. Our qualifying for 2010 and 2014 was very good, amongst the best. The tournament showing, however, was not...

I think we’ll still sign 5-6 loanees and still reduce our reliance on the loan market. Last season, all of our loanees, with the exception of Gykores, were important first team players. Perhaps this season, the aim is to have 2-3 good quality loans that boost the first team and the remaining...

Is there no threshold for P&P? Otherwise just buy over that threshold and take advantage of free returns.

Back in the day, we all did the Football Manager cheat of adding a new manager to Man City/Chelsea then buying a rubbish player to bolster your own coffers. We just need Hiddink to do this in real life now... Danny Ireland, the 50 million pound goalkeeper who never played...

I’m going off what Boddy has said in April. To briefly summarise, he talks about having 5 loans and the need to improve our own talent. I don’t disagree. The loan market is instrumental for just about every Championship team, so we’ll need to pick up 2-3 starting quality loans minimum. We’re...

I remember reading a month or two ago that the UK vaccination program was showing that the vaccines were reducing hospitalisation and death rates despite increasing infection rate. With the vaccines showing early signs of efficacy against the ‘Indian variant’, we should be optimistic for...

A club of our stature needs to make a good use of the loan market. However, I do seem to recall Boddy saying something along the lines of us needing to develop and bring in our own talent. Perhaps I’m being optimistic, but now we’ve survived the first season, you’d hope we can get more...

Frankly, we look a better team whenever Kelly played. At some point, we need to reduce our reliance on Kelly defensively for someone who can do his job just as well, but sounder on the ball. Earlier on the season, we conceded too many cheap goals with misplaced passes in our own half. Looking...

Is 15 in 38 not a good return? I doubt we’ll sign him anyhow.

I’m backing Lebron and AD to repeat...

Fair play to him, but still wasted those 4 years of his original contract playing U23s. The most important developmental years were wasted.

Wasted his career for a short term earnings. Was never ever going to make the grade at Everton.

'That fucker thinks he can take on the red army. I fucked Germany. I think I can take a flash lamp in a fucking waistcoat.' At first, the various English speaking accents was a bit disorientating for me - I usually like historically authentic movies. But, it was a genius move because it kept...

In The Loop is a great movie. Off topic, The Death of Stalin by Ianucci is also a great movie.

Surprised myself here. Last I checked I was virtually in the centre but ever so slightly in the green quadrant. It’s the first I’ve not been in that quadrant and in my late teens, early 20s was about as left and libertarian as could be. I don’t like the political compass as a metric, it’s too...

Let’s stay on topic here. My argument is very much the Government has increased its deficit with its response to COVID and that needs to managed. Therefore, increasing public sector pay by more than the 1% it already has isn’t a sound idea at this moment in time. It’s furlough scheme has kept...
