Loved the song Cant Find My Way Home. I picked the LP up in a charity shop years ago. Great album. The picture on the sleeve though is just a bit dodgy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 28 August 2020 Share Posted 28 August 2020 14 minutes ago, ALC Fox said: Well, our academy has done alright in recent years. It seems we're capable of producing top players, so why not one or two of our best current youth team players? Not saying it's going to happen, I'm just excited to see if they can do something. I share the excitement @ALC Fox but one is 18 with barely an U23 game to his name while the other, at 22, has just returned from loan in League 1. Both, ideally, go out on loan this season. Neither, like Hirst, are anywhere near PL level at the moment. IMHO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 28 August 2020 Share Posted 28 August 2020 1 hour ago, weller54 said: Sweet FA happening... Anyone know any good fish pun jokes? Comments like this (and it's not just you I've seen over the past few weeks) do more harm than good in terms of stoking the fire and acting like the club just sit there in the office playing Tetris or whatever the game of choice is! This is probably the busiest time for the club off the field. There's not a chance that 'sweet FA is happening' just because you don't hear anything concrete via Twitter or other social media. Yes, Percy does usually come up with bits of info here and there but it's also no secret that with the club restricting entry to more individuals to the training ground, it's less likely there'll be leaks of info. It's just that people are impatient and crave something. Don't get me wrong I did think a signing would be done by now but I'm not having it that the club are doing nothing. It's harder than ever to do deals for preferred targets in this window so bound to take longer to do deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxhateram Posted 28 August 2020 Share Posted 28 August 2020 1 hour ago, ALC Fox said: I'm actually really excited to see if KDH and Tavares can force their way in this season. With the extra games, they could get a chance to excel in a cup competition and perhaps give Brendan a headache for league fixtures and important Europa games. KDH will definitely be around the squad and Tavares is highly rated by the management team, they have been training with the first team for a while. I expect them to break through this year.

If we'd took 7 points less last season we'd have finished 9th. We earned about £147.4m (ignoring rebate) from TV monies, Sheff Utd in 9th earned £132.6m. Add in what is highly unlikely to be any more than £20m from EL prize monies and it would've been a loss of about £35m in raw accounting terms. But let's say if we'd rushed into it, we'd pay the £40m for Tagliafico; £40m for Brooks; £35m for Edouard. You wait until the end of the window and maybe you only pay £25m for each of them. So you've saved yourselves £40m. I know it's dodgy maths and there are lots of other factors but when finances are tight (particularly in the short-term) there is merit to the idea of biding your time more than ever. Starting the season with: Schmeichel Justin Soyuncu Benkovic Thomas Ndidi Tielemans Maddison/Praet Perez Vardy Barnes would be no disaster, IMO. I don't expect Burnley or West Brom to come at us with all sorts of attacking dangers, and West Ham are hardly a scary proposition either. ..what if the selling team do not have to sell!!! Waiting until the end of the window is all very well, but if the club you are looking to buy from does not have to sell then waiting brings added pressure on the club wishing to buy and the price is not going to drop because there is no need to. We would still be in the same situation as today, as at the end of September. We could then look to alternative targets but we will be forced to buy what is asked as we have no time to bring the price down and they know we are desperate.
