obviously there's no comprehensive evidence of bias, otherwise we'd hear of it. but there does come a point, after so many so many poor decisions, after so many decisions that would seemingly be guaranteed to be given the other way if a top six team was on the recieving end, that you do have to...
well there's plenty of players we have who can play instead of him, but in terms of anyone who can come even close to replicating his output, we have nobody and that is exactly why we can't sell
no way can we reward that behaviour with a transfer. would set a terrible precedent. I mentioned this earlier, exactly what I was worried about. reeks of him being ill advised by agents, however. if he continues to play well for the rest of the season then I'll be inclined to believe that it's...
seem to remember his saying he felt there was definitely things he wanted us to do in january, in terms of adding to the squad. I wonder how he feels now about that seemingly not happening. surely would've at least know that it was unlikely as we don't really do ready-made first team additions...
yes we have go with what he's said so far, there's been nothing to indicate he's got less than excellent character.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried though, can deal with people leaving but not if it's not done in the right way
look the situation is that we don't want to sell and probably couldn't replace him now anyways. so I'm not concerned about us rolling over an accepting a lower amount. but I will be seriously, seriously gutted and very displeased if he starts trying to force a move. I hope he's better than that
yes they are illegal and have been since the blanket ban on carrying knives came in. absolutely no scope in the justice system to enforce any of that, though
saw someone post this on twitter and agree completely, this signing gives us the possibility to play two sorts of systems, lamptey and pervis starting together leaves us a little too open and signing matviyenko means either pervis can be rested and we can have lamptey getting at the opposition...
well yeah that's why it's annoying, it's not in the summer. I know that's just how their football calendar works and there's no reason for them to change it but I'd rather be seeing the new signing in training photos and maybe see him in the odd u23 rather than worrying if he'll make it through...
very annoying that he's gone there in the first place, obviously I know that's how the club keeps good relationships with so many people in south american football and all game time's good time for a player of that age but it will be unbelievable frustrating if he comes back with any sort of...
no, of course not, he seems like a truly lovely bloke and not someone I imagine playing up, but he's still very young and has the potential to be influenced, either by chelsea tapping him up or by whoever these new agents are. so it's far from beyond the realms of possibility for them to give it...
apology accepted, it's fine, I can understand how unsubstantiated rumours about our best players are incredibly annoying. and tbh half the stuff from professional journalists is rubbish anyway. I posted it just because this incremental war of attrition, and trying to unsettle the player, is...
