I bought myself a crafter in 2005 and it is still a beautiful as the day I bought it. A great guitar to have learnt on and I'd recommend it to all levels of ability
None of us have any idea how much of that loan has been paid off throughout the last decade. I know we regularly maxed out our FFP allowance so we either magically spent exactly what was deemed acceptable under FFP or we made an acceptable payment each season to take us to the limit.
Our...
It would have to be a very specific scenario for us to utilise the loan option. Our focus as a club is on player development so much more likely to use our own academy players rather than another clubs which just leaves experienced pros. If we find that we cannot bring in the player we want but...
Veltmann & Burn offer us a great opportunity in progressing such youngsters. Both will comfortably step into the side in multiple positions and offer up a 6/7 disciplined game whenever required. Either would be comfortable in an extended run but equally decent enough if a younger player like...
Our squad consisted of 14/15 players that Potter wanted to keep plus a similar number of players who were welcome to move on if an offer came in. AJ was always in that second group but had plenty of substitute appearences so must be capable and show a good account of himself in training
We would never offer £25m+ for a player who has only had 1 year of championship football. His development over the last 2 years has been incredible and my biggest fear is he could've been sold next summer for significantly more. However allowing him to leave sets a precedent on fees we will...
I would be trying to convince him that moving now means he would be fighting for a place in an Arsenal side who are likely to be challenging for a top 10 finish, whereas he could stay and leave with 2/3 years experience and be a certain starter for Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea, Spurs for many...
I suspect we will continue to search for a suitable signing that would offer something exciting and hold on to Andone if such a player doesn't materialise. From what I have seen of him Andone could be the answer or would certainly lessen my concerns about not signing another
If he can have a good pre season then Potter is the sort of manager to welcome him back and use him regularly. It isn't unusual for an individual and their new boss to see things differently and two years of transformation may help him to see things Potter's way
It probably is backlash from the BLM campaign but that surely shows how needed their taking of the knee is. We are now beginning to see through social media the reality of what minorities have had to endure for many years and society needs to continue to call it out as nobody should be subjected...
He did a perfectly good job for 2 season in the premier league in a 4-4-1-1 formation where we flood the midfield and hope the opposition cannot get in behind. There are plenty of sides in the premier league that would utilise such a skillset and selling Duffy to an opponent would be a fabulous...
To compare the 2006 Golden generation to last nights line up shows us plenty:
Robinson, Neville, Ferdinand, Terry, Cole, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Cole, Owen, Rooney
Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Saka, Rice, Phillips, Mount, Sterling, Kane
Neither team had a natural left footed...
I don't think our academy is too far behind Liverpool's and I cannot see us loaning players from them rather than giving our own squad the opportunities
I think last season West Ham overachieved and will finish outside the top 10 this season. Southampton equally could struggle this season especially if they lose Ings. However Crystal Palace just look like a car crash waiting to happen. They have half a squad and a relatively inexperienced...
A pretty boring race when a car leads ever single lap. The red bulls were always going to perform well the last two races, gutting that it's not a close battle. Norris is sitting in 3rd in the driver standings which is amazing when there are 4 cars quicker than his. I genuinely believe that...
