Why given how effective Ayari looked playing as an attacking midfielder would you mitigate that by playing him deep?

Same as the Hamer argument I guess.

You could pair him with O’Hare or use him as a rotational option in his place. Quite similar players I think.

I said before he’s like a more talented Jamie Allen, based on that I think he’d pair well in the box with an O’Hare type.

Unusual approach!

“But he wants and needs face-to-face English lessons with a Japanese speaker really, which would be ideal. So if anybody out there who reads the paper or any articles that you may write, can they please get in touch with the club.” If anyone can help please email mark.hornby@ccfc.co.uk

Yes, surely the club would have reached out to them first. I would have thought there must be at least one Japanese native speaker at a nearby university.

Apparently he just wants "I don't even know why you are here mate!" translated, as that's all he hears from this boss!

The club already partners with the University for the e-sports centre and the magical fairy land where the new stadium was to be built so they can surely offer mates rates

Agreed.
Theres a huge amount of giving for very little in return right now.
Fans have absolutely bought into what's been asked by the club with record ST sales, fantastic away support and the reward is mediocre (at best) on the pitch.

Do you really think they would spend £2million pounds on a player and then try to save a few hundred pounds on something like this? Do you invest that much and then pack him off to some class probably aimed at business travellers or academics.

I assume we want someone who speaks English and Japanese who is also interested and knowledgeable about football, and preferably has some affinity with the club. We want him to learn the meaning of 'don't let that guy beat you in the outside' rather than 'we need to grow our sales by 15% year on year.

Well it seems we're prepared to complain that NHS waiting lists for scans hold up our medicals and stop us signing players, so...

This has totally passed me by. When have we blamed the NHS for delays signing players or injured players getting no treatment?

Mark Robins said:
You just can’t get medicals. It’s just ridiculous. However much you plan for some medicals to be done, they have to be done at certain times. We don’t own a scanning machine and there’s a real backlog in the NHS, and even privately the use of them is unbelievable, so we have all of those logistical challenges as well.

Isn't that him saying it's hard to get access on the NHS or privately? How would you even get a scan for a player transfer medical on the NHS?

Reads more to me like they need access to the scanner itself and that's where the problem lies. Doubt we're the only club that doesn't own one.

Why mention the NHS at all? Why mention there's a backlog, when he's talking about medicals? Why justify what's a bloody silly thing for the club manager to say, followed up by him popping out an appeal for somebody to teach our new signing English, when it's not the hardest thing to find really!

It's shambolic and amateur really.
