Hardly rounded on you Icy, and I'm a fan of your posts. But in this case, we just don't know it was done quickly (it may have been), but we do know nothing came out before the last few days. Not the same thing. We do know that the deal was all but done last season and then fell through on the...
Good insider knowledge there. Exactly how long have Leeds been talking to Man U about the transfer and what were the steps they went through to get him. Would be interesting to know how it works from someone who clearly knows exactly the time line.
This is where the tracker can be cruel. We know that Everton are a decent side, but the tracker suggesting we need the three points because they aren't a top 10 team. Astonishingly, lose today (which we won't), and were behind the tracker. Just shows how important a fast start is likely to be...
My take on this silly story from the Bissouma thread:
Maupay to Everton is one of those shit paper stories that happen in pre match interviews:
Journo: are there any player at Brighton you rate?
Benitez: Maupay is hot right now. We need to worry about him.
Journo: so you'd like him in your...
I'm being picked up by my wife after the game (I normally p&r or park in Lewes). Any tips on where she could wait gratefully received. I'm assuming she won't get anywhere close to the Amex. I was thinking get the P&R back to mill road might be best?
We aren't selling a striker. Potter was replying to questions about specific players and he rightly said that any player could still go this window. He's right. If someone offers silly money, we might have to take it. It doesn't mean we're looking to sell. Or that anyone is looking to buy...
You know that silence moments before a child lets out an enormous bellow. As the air from miles around gets sucked into their lungs......... that's why I am assuming this has gone so quiet. Brace yourself Albion fans.
I think the prospects model is a numbers game. We bring in lots of very talented young footballers in the hope that a few of them will go on to be valuable players that we either bring into the squad and/or sell for a profit - and if not, then they get released or sold at a small profit if we...
I like the look of Karbownik based on the small amount we've seen so far. But a loan - and playing against some decent sides in the CL - will be good as long as he's getting game time. I think there's something about him, so I really hope we aren't planning to sell him.
However, as others have...
Saturday night around 11pm, in Hampshire, driving back to the Shire from The Amex.
Diverted off the (closed) motorway into the badlands of Hants and I clearly got in a wrong lane or something. Blue lights appear behind me. Breath test and a nice chat with a Pompey fan who was "delighted" that...
Is 1-1 (the score so many have gone for) that score when we're worried we might get beaten, but not trounced, but we're too loyal to suggest we might lose the game? Or do all these people (including me) genuinely think we will draw?
Well yes, but this guy positions himself as a credible journalist and specialises in Brighton. And not only did he suggest that Biss is in demand (he may be) but he implied there has been speculation and then even more. It's pretty iresponsible propogation for self interest.
As it stands, Biss is still a Brighton player and I've heard nothing recently to suggest that he's going to move. He looks happy and had a good old dance with the fans serenading him after the Watford game.
So it really gets on my wick when you get posts like this from wannabe ITKs and so...
