Well, he could certainly afford to buy them, couldn't he. And his dad could have a word with the referee before the games.........

Boringly getting back into the top ten, and maybe a boring season in the ECL - not quite as tough as the Europa - would be fine. I would take a boring post match interview following a tonking of ManU or Chelsea any day!

Plenty of places where it's illegal to feed the pigeons now. Trafalgar Square and London railway termini for example.

So he's coming to us then?

Wouldn't be my first choice - but then again, it's not my choice that matters anyway, is it? Could do worse...............

Close enough for aircraft navigation purposes ..............................? :( :facepalm:

Without the sales we could probably still have found the money for Pedro, Estupinan or Barco (as back up/competition for Cucu), maybe one of Igor or Baleba. Wouldn't have needed to spend £20M on Verbruggen. Could have bettered top six, of that I would be certain. Like many others, I think the...

He won't be feeling the pinch for a while yet, unless he's got an expensive habit, gambling, for instance (not saying he has, but unless he has been throwing money down the drain one way or another he won't be worried about paying the leccie bill for a while. So, I'd quibble with your use of the...

It might me no wages from now, but him (and his agent) will still be considering him a Spurs-level wages type player.

The drop off in salary shouldn't be an issue with the sort of money he'd be getting anyway. The fact is that he was a good fit at Brighton, and not a good fit at Chelsea. As for the England job, no - he is the sort of coach that likes to work with the players on a daily basis, drill them into...

Spurs level wages ..........................................

We can but hope. Drive him there oursel..................?

Exactly.

No, but plenty in the 21s, I think. While a fair number of U21s have been playing in the EFL. Yeh, yeh, I know, it's about development, not winning matches/cups/leagues.

Only if you watch it, I'm afraid. I'm not IT clever enough to put in links to segments of programmes. Hopefully someone will oblige (and I don't know about Oz, but the BBC is available on the red button for a while over here).

Ian Wright spot on on MOTD tonight.

"Don't ask me" - OK, deal. Thread on ignore.

Football needs Barbers? Don't know about football, but footballers certainly do! Some shocking barnets out there! - Haaland, Van Dyke, Sock Boy, Calvert-Lewin ................ and many others! A good cut needed! Just to save himself from excruciating pain in the penalty area, Cucu could probably...

Dahoud and Fati - wish we'd never even considered signing them; total waste of money. Igor though? - he's done alright, even if he hasn't been a revelation. In modern-day PL finance parlance, he didn't cost too much, did he?

Good. Because mid-upper 20s players in their prime, fully PL oven-plucked and ready, cost £50 - £60M (or more) and will demand wages of £100-£150K a week (or more). That's why we're not in that market. Personally, I hope we stay out of it. I thought the Athletic article was a good one...
