Never wanted a pair to succeed more with us than Alves and Braybrooke

It's just dead grubby, whole tournament has felt it. As a 36 year old it's comfortably the worst World Cup in my lifetime, it's pipped South Africa by virtue of Infantino having this sycophantic obsession with Trump and celebrity

Torino would be a better move for him imo but West Ham are more likely to stump up what we'd want and he'd be playing at the top end of the Skybet. Both good options for him

Pattern looks AI as hell

I don't mind the ring as such – bit tacky but when in Rome, do as the Romans do. No different to a medal apart from being a bit naff. It's the fact (high earning, no doubt) Joe Public will be able to buy a few as well Rendering their value to the players absolutely worthless.

He got a tonne of goals and assists last year in a garbage team, is 22, and played all but 2 league games last season. I don't think sides will be put off by his injury. If we didn't get ourselves bloody relegated we'd have every right to demand ~£25m. As it stands I think we'll settle between £15-20m and I think that's a bargain for the prospective buyer.

Macron have had a great few years but that Stoke kit is hilarious

That's private info you dirty sod

Already great but it really is mad what having a sponsor that doesn't look like pacman drawn from memory can do for a shirt

I know he had a sex tape scandal but I loved him as Dirty Den. Fort Boyard was good Friday evening viewing too

I don't disagree but that doesn't mean we should play someone who evidently is good enough or rated - we also have plenty of other young forward prospects. Selling players like Richards is better than keeping them here until they're 24 for the sake of lowering the average squad age.

Oh fuuuuuuucking hell

It's been a real 5/10 tournament imo

Will be sad to see him go – hopefully he can return one day, perhaps in a coaching role?

Okoli is worse by a distance (and Faes is ****ing shit!!!!) but I can't bear to see that Belgian jabroni throwing his arms in the air when we concede again.

Played 30+ games in the Barclays last season, would be a big drop

His dad did great work for Live Aid

You bite at it every single time, just ignore it man

Is it @sexybex13

Piss off

Yes it is, keepers might go on for a bit longer but 36 is still very much old for a goalkeeper

Or... we could sell a player we don't see a future here for?

Yeah brother it looks interesting, a mate has signed me and him up for one in Notts in March – looks like a proper mental / strategy game more than anything!

If the terms aren't outrageous (and it does seem McCarron has some semblance of intelligence) then he should be very good at this level. I'd prefer the bulk of any incomings to be younger but the odd older head won't kill us; we've just recruited miserably in that department for 5/6 years in terms of characters and finances so it's difficult to fully embrace signings like this.
