he was just still raging that he got send off vs usshared this on his instagram before our game, tongue in cheek but I can’t imagine it would go down well if signed him.
Let’s all be honest if we went up and offered him top flight football that post mysteriously gets deleted and he says how he used to watch Carl Baker as a boyhe was just still raging that he got send off vs us
mind the gap and all that
It’s an Instagram story - like the UK, Germany and the rest of Europe before it, it’s already gone!Let’s all be honest if we went up and offered him top flight football that post mysteriously gets deleted and he says how he used to watch Carl Baker as a boy
Ballard is but their defensive signings have been very good. Mukiele looks outstandingBallard is doing alright in the Prem, you’d be surprised at how many players could make the jump up. We’ll be changing the tactical setup and that may suit certain players.
For all the praise Grimes gets, he’s a player who could potentially struggle a lot in the Prem. It’s been obvious for several seasons that he is too good for championship.
The model for Prem survival is v much spend £100m minimum and hope for the best like Sunderland and Forest have.
A very smart decision young man, we’ll just take that money and put it in a mutual interest savings fund…and it’s gone!It’s an Instagram story - like the UK, Germany and the rest of Europe before it, it’s already gone!
Even if we got promoted we would manage nowhere near his wages.Might be lunacy but if we went up could we get Ruben Neves? He could play alongside Grimes and keep Rudi in AM, lower turnover high quality, and someone with high high experience
He is out of contract maybe he would agree a lower wage for a hefty sign in bonus? I just think he could be our XhakaEven if we got promoted we would manage nowhere near his wages.
no chanceHe is out of contract maybe he would agree a lower wage for a hefty sign in bonus? I just think he could be our Xhaka
Not often we agree on a transfer threadno chance
Not low enough imo for us to be able to agree it.He is out of contract maybe he would agree a lower wage for a hefty sign in bonus? I just think he could be our Xhaka
Someone along the lines of the Endo/ Pascal Gross reputation is much more likely. Not that those are suggestions, just similar sort of wagesNot low enough imo for us to be able to agree it.
Grimes was a player purely bought for the present, with little conceivable sell on potential, in fact he may only decline in value. Nor was he purchased from the payout from a major sale. It was a strategic purchase but with probably no more than 2 years in mind. The Rushworth loan is very similar - a lot of money with only short term gain. Dovin and Rudoni, two major purchases that immediately preceded Robins' departure, on the other hand were brought in under the old rules.I dispute it. It’s not like we’d only signed U23s up to that point.
To be fair, we were all set to sign Browne from PNE who was a similar age for the same position.Not sure I understand this comment. Didn't Grimes come in 2025? I don't think anyone can dispute the business model has changed with the appointment of Lampard - coincidentally or not.
I remember Saddlebrains had inside info on the bid for Grimes and without naming him came on here expressing astonishment that that waw what the Club was now doing.
Where is he?To be fair, we were all set to sign Browne from PNE who was a similar age for the same position.
Sunderland, now on loan at BoroWhere is he?
Think he's on loan at BoroWhere is he?
Not playing much thenThink he's on loan at Boro
not good enoughGelhardt is pretty versatile across the front isn't he? Having a hell of a season, wonder if we could interrupt his loan at Hull in Jan.
I was never that fussed by him but i cannot deny that he's having a very good season.not good enough
As is his club generally. The idiotic punishment that incentivised them to keep their best players working as intended.I was never that fussed by him but i cannot deny that he's having a very good season.
Absolutely. No reason they can't keep up a play off push with the league as wide open as it is. Some punishment hey?As is his club generally. The idiotic punishment that incentivised them to keep their best players working as intended.
Ballard has a bit of the Ben Turner about him.Ballard is but their defensive signings have been very good. Mukiele looks outstanding
Hopefully Rudoni and EMC are back in the squad for WBA. I can see Simms starting this one with Wright in the US, they play 3 days before so imagine he will sit this one out.
FFP having unintended consequences. As many financial analysts point out, teams don’t need to sell match day tickets at all to break even… so why are prices so high and raising?
1) the away price cap
2) the balance sheet for FFP
Well intentioned, but FFP is not fit for purpose.
He's highly rated for sure and Frank made sure to have a good chat with him at the end of the Boro game i seem to recall. Heard he did it with Louza too, clever i think.
Good input. Thanks....or he could just've been...talking to them?
Good input. Thanks.
