Fee was reported to be £13-14m up front with add ons up to £17m. Without knowing what the add ons are based on hard to say what we have ended up paying but general point was still represented significant investment in the squad at the time.
The following were Hughton signings
Locadia £14m
Andone £4m (reduced from £15m due to clause)
Ali J. £17m
Izquierdo £13.5m
Bissouma. £17m
Bernardo. £9m
That is some serious backing from bloom and he also had Groß, a peak Glenn Murray and all the experience, influence and quality of Bruno...
If not seen the HBO documentary is well worth a watch showing how the drive of his father for him to be a success and media swallowed up his whole childhood and chances of a normal life.
It’s always a mixed bag with Burn but then we have to remember he is not our first choice left wing back that is March who is out for the season. He is stepping in and doing his best so hard to be too harsh on him for not being at the level of March.
We have been luckier on the right as we...
Not a market we are in and from last summers rumours we were fishing in the £20-25m pond.
From a recruitment perspective we were linked with the right players just could not get the deals over the line. For example that Dia at Reims looks a real player but now out of our price range having...
This team creates far more chances than the one Murray was part of and he was far more clinical that Maupay. He is wasteful in a league where you cannot afford to be the championship is much more forgiving and there are lots of examples of players scoring in the championship but struggling...
Nothing wrong with the approach I don’t think I have ever seen a team who collectively are so terrible are scoring goals.
We talk about the missing ‘striker’ but truth is none of our attacking outlets seem capable of putting the ball in the net unless they get 20 chances to do so.
Our most...
Something about potter putting on a play for the players in Sweden
No fans but the rivalry is still there
Ali Mac sounds Scottish but is in fact from Argentina
There are arguments that supermarket workers are in a more risky environment than teachers and there could be equal arguments to support other jobs being vaccinated as the next priority.
Let’s not forget any teachers in at risk categories are being vaccinated as part of the current approach...
.....although this would mean 10k Fulham fans roaring their team on against Newcastle for the relegation decider last day of the season.
Bet that’s going down well!!
The Gov will deliberately ‘leak’ snippets to the media weeks in advance of the announcement as a means of testing reaction and refining their thinking. If the public react badly they can then just say it’s the papers printing nonsense whilst they update their plans.
Remember when Johnston’s original predators hit the scene and there were loads of Sunday league cloggers rocking up in them and taking over free kick duties convinced they would bend it like Beckham
For me the knee, banners and t-shirts are not so much of a issue if meaningful change and action happens with them but too often it goes no further than the gesture.
I was sickened to watch our England team continue to play under a barrage of racist abuse whilst a token anti racism UEFA banner...
