Wasn't Welbeck struggling at Watford before we bought him? I know the situations were different in that Welbeck played a position we were badly in need of help at.

Fits the bill as one of the older, mentor types in the squad like Lallana and Welbeck. Talented, bags of experience at a high level & injury prone. As long as the wages aren't ridiculous this looks like a nice bit of business to me.

This is a very good shout imo. Only thing is he's maybe a bit older than we'd be ideally looking for.

The point he gets offered treble his salary and a huge transfer budget at one of the big 6.

A very large majority of the UK media needed to stop congratulating themselves on a job well done for helping Johnson get elected first and by the time some of them actually started doing their job it was already too late. And I suspect they now find that a bit embarrassing. And I guess to...

Well, we did find Welbeck this way last season and he did a job. I wouldn't be massively surprised if we kick the tyres on someone.

vs the talent available I'd still say we are overachieving.

Well surprised it took this thread so long to find Squid, I was banging on about them in 2018, at that time as much as I loved Porridge Radio, I thought Squid were the better bet at the time. It took about 30 seconds of soundcheck to see the obvious talent. I do wish Ollie would do less vocals...

You're entitled to your opinion but I really don't think you know what turgid means.

I really like that Sault record. It reminds me of this record in spirit, though nowhere near as out there. I reckon you will dig this if you haven't heard it Machiavelli https://standingonthecorner.bandcamp.com/album/red-burns

Your point is that you have to admire him for having the balls to outright lie to the British public? Does the same go for Prince Andrew?

Has this presser changed anyone's mind, either way?

How about now?

Care homes are a big problem still. The government took care homes seriously way too late (until recently they were discharging patients with Covid-19 into care homes!) - they were more concerned about avoiding the PR nightmare of young, healthy people being turned away from hospitals, hence...

If it's insinuation or half-truth that you're after, yes. Dealing with facts - not so good. I think the mid-March 'crisis, what crisis' stage (13 March - 23 March) actually demonstrated a glaring weakness of his in communicating unpopular messages clearly. Unless he was trying to get people...

I wouldn't have thought so.

'we've been guided by the science' https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/24/revealed-dominic-cummings-on-secret-scientific-advisory-group-for-covid-19

Interesting isn't it? I think that Nandy and Starmer himself are thought of by some as 'right' goes to show how far the dial has moved. Also, think that ideological shift will serve Starmer well given the recovery job the country has on its hands post-Covid.

All things considered this looks a pretty sensible shadow cabinet.

And just to pick this up briefly - you saw that the 'herd immunity' plan was based on a 13 year old study about the flu didn't you? It was just an excuse for Cumming's eugenic fantasies. They went for the 'advice' that suited their pre-conceived ideas of what should be done. According to the...
