If I was running that race I'd be getting rid of every bit of excess weight I could. Some of these guys have watches, bracelets and chunky jewellery on....fair play to them :lol:
I can see Toney staying. He's not going to get the offers he hoped he would: realistically he's not going to be on the radars of City, Arsenal or Liverpool as he's not up to that standard. He's too old at 28 for Chelsea to bother, and I don't see him wanting to go back to Newcastle. Villa don't...
There will be a decent sell-on in there, and if he's not going to make the first team here then we may as well give him the opportunity to flourish elsewhere.
I've just watched his first interview for Blues: he seems very happy, so good luck to him.
Birmingham are spending a lot of money, or at least their American owners are. They have big ambitions on and off the pitch. If they don't walk League One next season with the squad that they're building there, it will be a managerial f*** up on a scale that even Wayne Rooney would be ashamed...
I do feel that you've perhaps exceeded expectations for the last couple of seasons, and I'm not convinced Marco Silva is that great a manager, so it'll be interesting to see how you get on this season. ESR sounds like a decent signing if you can keep him fit. But I wonder if you might find it...
Chelsea seem pretty advanced with this new keeper now. Poor old Bob. Seven years left on his contract, on Premier League wages that mean he'll either have to waste the next few years of his career on the bench or take a big pay cut in order to go to one of the lesser La Liga clubs. And all this...
I cannot think of a less Albion-like signing than this bloke. Has had literally one decent season in his entire career, in fact, not even that: he had one good World Cup with Colombia and has blagged his way to massive contracts ever since, mugging off clubs who look at his 2014 showreel and...
He's had his moments but I remain to be convinced that he's top class. I'd say we're at least one top CH short currently. Dunk is in his thirties now so presumably there is some planning afoot around his long term replacement. If we got a decent price for Igor, I'd take it and move on without...
Always the case in Japan, same with the onsens: you have to go in in the buff and shower before you do.
I plucked up the courage and adopted the "when in Rome" attitude when I was there. You soon lose the inhibitions when there are a load of elderly Japanese ladies walking around you in the...
Surely I can't be the only one feeling a tad queasy with the term- no doubt coined by a 52 year old male marketing manager- "ever-hot youth culture"?
Is that what Chelsea are into? Hot youths?
