1969

As I said - see the Benaloune thread -it was a joke.

Sorry couldn’t help that! See the Benaloune thread!

Stop to tell bullshit

Can’t wait to use it at work tomorrow!

I never thought Yohan would be the man to bring a smile back to my face after last night’s result and Mahrez’s latest mardy! Stop to tell bullshit - a considered and very accurate reflection on the modern media!

You may be right re’ Virgil but the transfer fee paid for him helped to set the bar for transfer fees involving premier league clubs - and the hugely inflated fee for Coutinho distorted it further.

Virgil Van Dyke cost £75 Million - do you really think he’s more valuable than Mahrez? It’s all relative.

Well the good news if he does go will be that I won’t have to read any more of this kind of drivel!

Or, not unreasonably we could expect the current market rate?

For me, a fit Steve Walsh would have been the first name on the team sheet in that period. Much as I value Andy Kings’ contribution over the years, he has been a squad player for much of that time and I wouldnt have expected him / wanted him to be in the first 11 regularly .

That sounds a bit fishy?

Agreed. I looked at the championship table the other day and 5 of the bottom 6 were ex premier league clubs. If you go down there is no guaranteed return. As a (very) long term supporter I get really fed up with this “know your place” attitude from the media. Why should my club not do everything it can to reach the highest league position possible. I don’t and never did expect us to win the premier league -what a glorious achievement- and I would happily settle for midtable obscurity and a few cup runs (wins!), but why should I / we accept another relegation just because traditionally we’ve been a yo-yo club?

I thought he allowed Ndidi to play further forward where Ndidi is far more effective.
