The reported fee seems low, but we don't know if it is accurate, or if there is a buy back option, or any other lever that we might apply in future, that allows a bigger upside in future.
I hope Conte hasn't over promised Billy, and we have lost him because our coach was honest and Napolis was...
I would be happier to have him that not, but he had a good offer.
Besides, we need a little space to bring the next ones through. Ayari and Hinshelwood will have room to grow.
If we keep getting a little lucky, we can finish top 4.
We need Pervis and Ferdi fit for the rest of the season, or at least Ferdi, to have a chance.
If we have the two first choice full backs, I am happy with most of the alternatives elsewhere on the pitch.
We don't worry about them leaving, we are realistic about the chances of keeping them if someone else is offering to triple their wage. As long as we get fat fees when they do go, and the replacement is good, it's what our club needs to be able to compete at the top end of the table.
If he did, I wasn't aware of him living here. He still might have come to the Crawley match, even if he wasn't resident, as a chunk of his firm was going to go to it, being locals.
What was the nature of the embarrassment?
Neap tides are when the lowest tidal range is, the least difference between low and high tides. Low tide of a neap tide, is not as low as low tide of a spring tide.
Also tidal range is greater in winter, so low tide of spring tide in January, is lower than low tide of spring tide in June.
I am going for the fairytale, Jakub Moder.
Goes from being on the edge of being transfered as a make weight for Dewsbury-Hall, forced into the team because of injury, smashes 20 goals from midfield, breaks all records for tackles won, clocks the 3 fastest sprints in the PL, and gets more assists...
A player doesn't need to make a clever run, beat a defender, or get on the end of a cross is the point.
Which situation do you think you would have the best chance of scoring from, a penalty kick that someone else won, or a through ball from Dunk, you have to run onto, hold off the defender, and...
Right now, Billy Gilmour is the better player, but both Gilmour and Ayari will improve further, and I am not sure which will end up the better player, or if there will be much in it.
It just hasn't gone that well for Gilmour since he joined us. Potter left, and I think De Zerbi's management...
The main thing is, if its off the pitch, there is another one nearby that can be grabbed, if its the ball on the pitch, that is the one you have to use.
Watched the Arsenal Brighton game in my local, filled up with Crawley Town fans for their pre match beer and grub. A few of the younger ones were pleased we were a goal down, but a big cheer from more, when we equalised.
