Except for Leeds - why would they want an overweight and out of practice goalkeeper? In theory, Casilla should have been amazing for them. He was decent mainly, but there were a number of howlers. Bailey Peacock-Farrell was a bit harshly dropped - not sure he'd done much to deserve it.

It's a mystery to me too. It seems like he's a naturally big lad who really has to work hard to keep his weight down and I think it's more than reasonable to question his mentality considering he's allowed himself to be in the shape he is. He hadn't ever been a number 1 goalkeeper before coming...

That was my experience as well - I've only been there the once (Oh Alan Navarro!!!), and I was expecting it to be far grander. It's anything but, good on the inside though.

This thread is quite nasty, especially considering the other thread at the moment about a lady who jumped off Beachy Head (potentially linked to online abuse). Obviously, Stockdale is looking inappropriate for a professional footballer returning to training. But we know from experience that...

Andone would have cost us the better part of £20million the previous season had Deportivo wanted to sell. He only cost £5million due to their relegation and a release clause in his contract. I think Andone is a fantastic player, I'm disappointed we didn't get to see him playing as a number 10...

What happened to the previous guy? Did Tony pile into a sacking double this summer?! :ohmy:

My ladies have had a nice run through the tournament, in truth. I'm not belittling their achievement, but if they'd played the US earlier, they'd have gone home. Oranje!!!

I'd be pretty confident with Murray starting, but as the season goes on you'd like to think that the players we've signed to transition into the team would start actually getting to play. Andone looks a quality player and Locadia can finish - the three of them have very different strengths. I'm...

This I disagree with. He certainly didn't look lost, he worked very hard in every game and although he definitely had a lack of quality on the ball, he knew his role. I didn't think he was particularly good, same with Forster-Caskey who was also in the team at the time. I thought they both...

Right now, Stoke have a squad as good as any in the league. The only question is whether Jack Butland leaves, but they've already signed Adam Davies, who Jones would have known about from last season and I generally trust his judgement in players.

I labored into 5th at East Grinstead this morning, 19th different course and another Sussex parkrun ticked off. Genuinely lovely course, twice up the big hill and more twists and turns than I like, considering my sense of direction! But a lovely course on the grass, with a bit of woodland in...

Actually, I think I'm going to East Grinstead. It's the same distance from Gatwick as Tilgate Park and it would be a 19th different course - plus another Sussex course ticked off. Also, it's not run at a particularly quick pace. A friend of mine has yet to get himself a first finisher result so...

I would have joined you for this but I've got some driving responsibilities tomorrow. And I did a 40 minute Wattbike endurance session on wednesday and I've been fatigued and, quite frankly, knackered since then! I'm going to be at Tilgate tomorrow if I wake up in time to drop my friend at...

Ryan Montoya Duffy Dunk Bernardo Stephens Propper Jahanbakhsh Gross Trossard Locadia Subs Walton, Clarke, Balogun, Bissouma, March, Andone, Murray What a team line up that would be. :ohmy:

Anne FRANK made the list, but Frank SPENCER didn't?! Is this some kind of a joke?

But they don't play the same position, so there's no truth in it at all.

I'm going to be taking knocky1's advice as well - my left hamstring has been a little tight the last few days and there just feels to be a weakness there. I was going to attend the session with big nuts last night but it didn't feel right on the jog down there. I think it was dazzer6666 who...

Very disappointing as a fan, but I presume that it financially benefits the club so that's what matters.

Of course, but that doesn't change the point that he might be looked upon as a disappointing signing in 5/10 years time. How do you feel about Will Buckley, now you can look back on him? Ultimately disappointing after a brilliant start, no? Whereas there are plenty of examples of players being...

I certainly wasn't intending to suggest that you were writing him off, there's nothing to suggest you are at all. I think all of the players we've signed have been good players, but we haven't had the best out of them so far. I'm confident that we'll see better from them this season, which is...
