It’s not a cliche - just a hunch!

Ayew needs to start v Palace, ex club etc - bound to score.

He's away on holiday - back next week, I'll catch up with him then and update the thread. Cheers

Agreed and they aren't, and to effectively U turn on a policy that is completely anti left wing is bizarre '' look how tough we are, we are making the decisions that matter bla bla'' Pensioners suffer because they caved on generous settlements with unions. The pension uplft in line with inflation next year is to help with the rising cost of living as a whole and not just to ''cope''with the loss of the winter fuel payments.

The winter fuel pension payment has been a complete cock up and PR disaster for Starmer, what a strange hill to die on.

Something like that - it’s an absolute shambles

Sorry @tom27111 but the Mrs has a Nissan x-trail on loan while her Volvo is being fixed and it’s absolutely naff . Not even got a sat nav!

Sorry my point was not around cost, my point being we all thought he would be class - as did the scouting team, so I was trying to explain (badly) that it’s not easy to get every signing right despite best efforts

Yeh could be a good shout

Not sure what to do with Oct - I can only play with a few days because of work commitments - wife wants to do Disney Land Paris, if it's anything like Orlando I'll have to sell a Kidney. Might do a few days out in this country but the weather is so naff it's not very inspiring. Need something suitable for a 6 year old so a march round the sights in a European capital drinking isn't going to wash.

Chelsea

Leeague Cup is not in the same League (excuse the pun) as winning the Premier League, FA Cup or even playing in the Champions League, those Champons League nights were unreal. If we start wheeling out the fact we won it twice we start sounding like Leeds

Rudkin and the rest of the board you mean. The club isn't in debt apart from your normal leveraged football club, this is a PSR issue related to allowable losses, not how the balance sheet is structured. I agree with your point on the the internal and external lawyers but the rest of it is gash.

I've just pretty much wrote the same thing with a sandwich hanging out my mouth so your piece is worded a bit better

Because if we don't offer the contract someone else will - we also aren't an attractive club compared to other PL teams - location or size of club - so to make it more atractive we probably have to pay slightly more. On the flip side - doesn't mean you give into agent and players demands and roll over, but I suspect we are paying market rate for wages or slightly above - I'm not sure we are out of the ordinary here. We could pay less in wages and offer shorter contracts but you will end up with a team full of average players, it's a tricky balancing act. Also offloading a player who you think is mustard at the time then turns out to be cr*p, it becomes harder.

https://www.88brewery.com/ I don't see the point in this

Theres always a deal to be done with cash paid out up front, but I agree, if I was him I'd sit it out.

This will catch on

Probably by Forest and Everton fans, Liverpool hate us too for other reasons. Apart from that no-one else will probably care. Good to see its wound Cov up

I get the same - I've had some others ones too which I can't post on here....very disturbing!

I'll have a word with our facilities manager

I think we are all guilty of hindsight, no club will get every transfer right and we can pick out many good signings as bad - everyone agrees post winning the league and champions league money was wasted - Rudkin and the whole management team were thrown into managing a bigger beast overnight with money flying in - pressure from all ends to recruit and spend money and continue the success, whether it be fans, media etc. PSR has come in after this to protect the big 6 and stifle clubs like ours - and we still maanged to win the FA cup. I think Tete is a really good recent example - as fans we thought he was the next Mahrez, the excitement and euphoria on this forum was boiling over - and he turned out to be absolute w*ank - so us as fans get it wrong about a player too. Look how many awful signings Man Utd have made? Spent £600m under Ten Haag on absolute dross. Everton - dross. Chelsea - complete scattergun sh*t show. Bournemouth, Brighton, Arsenal to an extent have done well. Newcastle haven't been able to kick on.

How much space?

Agreed - It's a real shame fans wrote him off after a couple of run outs pre season, we should judge players after a season. Anyone can play below par for a game or two - its called form. But we're Leicester City, we have the patience of a dog round it's breakfast bowl.
