  1. They must have thought he was Trent Alexander Arnold?
  2. Is this going to be like the Guehi thread with no stats and just a lot of mackem behaviour?
  3. Ashworth watching our summer transfer window
  4. Aye well it was likely we would end up with a difficult window. - Ashworth leaving with his laptop of players early in the year and Ratcliffe whinging for months meant we were on the back foot for transfers - Amanda leaving and the PSR debacle in June likely affected targets, Mitchell and Bunce coming in. Most execs need a listening and learning period. I cant imagine Mitchell would be splashing the cash as soon as he got in the door like Adam Pearson in Hooters - We haven't had the luxury of selling £100m players like Brighton and West Ham to fund investment, and our turnover isnt good enough, Thanks to Mike Ashley for both of those! It is growing pretty quickly. We have a load of shite on the books on high wages and long contracts that nobody wants. Isaac Hayden ffs - We have had no youth setup to help feed the PSR beast like Chelsea etc do. After years of underinvestment we have had a bit of wiggle room to spalsh a bit of money. If there was one think about Ashley, he ran a tight ship Looking back, Amanda did a super job but have a niggling thought that she may have overstretched a little in terms of finances hence why we were where we were in June. We have had the double edged sword of a fantastic season under Eddie to get us to CL. Id rather have us build slowly over 5 years rather than do a Leicester City. I think like a manager, Eales needs a season to prove himself out on his own. They seem to be building a proper management team, still remember when Charnley was doing the job of Eales, Stavely, Bunce, Mitchell and Kathy the tea lady. Aye its been a shit window but hoping the financial foundations are in place. Its delicate though as we dont want to lose Bruno etc
  5. I've been so busy with work I totally forgot about the ballot this week. Feck sake Currently 1/2 but not going to Spurs this weekend as the Mrs won't allow the wee man to miss school
  6. Probably his GP, heard he has been constipated for weeks. GP has recommended he stands to try something different to get the movement going again... Which means if he is a stander, Eddie (and the good folk of Toontastic) wont have it...
  7. Would this thread be a glimpse of what its like to be on a random forum post on RTG? I saw a load of new posts and assumed the fecker had signed
  8. Captaining Palace tonight... Undoubtedly a good player but £70m is putting a lot of eggs in a basket. While he isnt likely to be be a gambling addict, we would be fecked if he did an ACL and lost him for the season too. Still one player in is better than none! Worst that can happen is that we accept a bid from Liverpool for Isak on deadline day, Howe does a Keegan days after, we get Bruce back and end up planning for trips to Burton Albion next season But it wont come to that, Gemmil says Everton are going down this year so we should at least stop up this year
  9. Its likely just a chartered flight for Adam P to get the lowdown on what's going on with the Guehi transfer. Incomprehensible dribble incoming in 3... 2... 1...
  10. Eddie our kid, you ganning down to the Oasis gig, gonna be belta man! Me fave album is the cocaine inspired album Be here Now, reminds me of me early days at the Chron when we was high as kites. Them was the days man.
  11. Did they move Burnleys goal up to row z to make it a fairer contest as the MLF strikers are world class and should be playing in the Champions Leaygue?
  12. Trippier likely has a few contacts to keep him busy
  13. Reminds me of an old boss who was on record saying to leave your personal life at the front door of the office... Unsurprisingly I don't work there anymore!
  14. Aye but what club are going to pay Tatgett the 100k a week he is getting here?
  15. Nice touch of them to retire the #3 in honour of Dummetinho
  16. Its all good lads on the PSR, if we get this lad and need to make PSR room we can always hoy Bruno and Gordon for £100m each next June
