To be honest I don't follow transfer speculation all that closely, because I generally find it quite dull. So I'm not very "ITK" about who is supposedly "ITK" - I'd never even heard of this Romano bloke before this summer. I dunno why you're making it a cock-waving contest between Naylor and...
That would certainly change the dynamic.
Interest from City is bound to be a head-turner for any player, but he seems very happy and settled here, and (to me) doesn't seem "the type" to start making ructions. I would also assume that following his outstanding debut 'player-of-the-season' season...
Do you honestly think that The Athletic would have bothered head-hunting and employing a journalist who has built a long career on just cutting & pasting other journalists stories ?
Really ?
Bid WHAT though ?
Cucurella is under contract until 2026, which means City will have to come up with an almighty bid of £50m+ (with add-ons) just to get their foot in the door. I am very confident of TB paying hardball with this, and City will naturally have potential alternative targets who...
I've been sweating like a cheese sandwich in clingwrap, but I reckon the temp must have dropped around 10 degrees between 5 and 6. Clouded right over, wind whipped up, a couple of heavy showers. LOVELY. A very pleasant breeze is now ruffling my back door bead curtain.
Make of that what you will.
Went out for a cheeky lunchtime pint in HH. My phone had it at 35 degrees, but there was a slight warm breeze. All perfectly manageable, at no point did I feel on the point of collapse. Looking forward to sloping off from the office in 15 minutes back to my garden and a few cans of Inches, of...
Sky News have cancelled tomorrow nights televised debate after Sunak and Truss pulled out.
“Two of the three candidates currently leading in the MPs’ ballots – Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss – have confirmed to Sky News that they do not want to take part,” the broadcaster announced in a statement...
The acid test will come if Zinchenko moves to Arsenal, which going by widespread reports is close to being a done-deal. City will apparently trouser around £30m-£35m from that.
Expect an incoming if/when that happens.
You don't have to convince me how good he is chap. But comparing him to Grealish (an established England international forward in his prime) is looney tunes. Fullbacks just do not go for £80-£100m, especially one's who have had just had ONE season in the PL.
Realistically if City table a £50m...
Market rates are market rates. City clearly have the capacity to spend whatever they want, but at the same time aren't prepared to have their pants pulled down on a deal. Grealish was overpriced IMO, but on the whole, they do stay well within the realms and parameters of market values.
He's great for us. But in no parallel universe could Cucurella be possibly be priced at £100m. What on earth are you basing that on ? He's had one great season for a midtable PL club, and has 1 cap for his country. We all love him to bits, but lets get real eh ?
I'd obviously rather have...
Slightly odd timing chap. Logisitics shouldn't be THAT much of an issue if you're within 3 miles of the stadium - a lot of people routinely go through much larger challenges.
And we have just officially witnessed the greatest team in BHA's entire 121 year history. Not the time I'd be looking...
I say. Thats a rather sinister looking chap 3 or 4 rows back from the Bristol Rovers sign, wouldn't you agree ? Still, I'm sure he'll be nothing to worry about in 15 years or so's time.
Anyway, must dash. Those various children of mine aren't going to give themselves a DAMN good thrashing now...
Didn't the club kick off about the Barry Lloyd one with a passenger airliner jet about to crash through the window behind him ? The tag was something like "at least things cant get any worse".
Indeed. I was caught short with a Sloppy Joe's and had to do the dirty deed behind a large tree. The tree provided decent cover from the rest of the park, but unfortunately at that moment a train was pulling into Southwick Station. So any passengers taking a view of the park would have clocked...
