OTF

I'd imagine if that's the case we'll let it sit like that for a while rather than up our offer.

Why not both? Planes, Trains and Automobiles style.

Don't worry, they've got their firearms to protect themselves against dangerous foreign criminals.

I wouldn't say he's the opposite of it, but you're right that Barnes is not known for his defensive effort. I'm only guessing but feel like Eddie will feel that he can use his energy to press and over time improve his defensive reads and tackling. Similar to the intentions with Gordon. They'll be eased into the team and/or used as subs until they fully fit the style of play. The alternate view is also that Howe will look to evolve the way we play to cater for teams sitting deeper against us. Barnes, noted for his quick interchanges can work both in the open field and also against a deep lying defense.

When you think about it Eddie would not have been interested in him because there's a defensive expectation for our wide players that Diaby doesn't meet. Chiesa on the other hard is quite hardworking defensively, presses and makes tackles. Of the two he fits Eddie's style much better than the Frenchman. Still, I'd be quite surprised if we go for him but would be keen to see how he does. It can't hurt that we've now got Tonali.

"OK, but would you take the same deal except without Ryan Fraser?"

Dyer Deliveries - Back Soon

I hope the USA don't win. Beyond that it would be nice for the Matilda's to do well, and the NZ girls too. I'll be watching the Matilda's matches.

Has Bruno's quality fallen away since joining? No.

You could probably say that for most of the squad here when he arrived.

And to think people complained about Szoboszlai!

Step up Northern Ireland's Jamal Lewis.

Hendrick, Hayden and Fraser are not even training with the first team. #NaughtyCorner #BargainBin

All ready for his year 11 formal (I think that's what you guys call them).

I did not know that our very own Rayvin was a footballer. It all makes sense with all that flying now.

He's not a wind up merchant, he's a wound up merchant of shite. Not happy at having the piss taken out of him by everyone else he's joined the party.

But not as funny as the first 21 minutes against Spurs at St James* * + es as many times as you see fit

Life changing.... I'm sure he was near destitute with the increases in power costs.

Coward

Murphy working on his levitation skills.

Even though there are gag orders in the media if you search "BBC explicit images" in google you can easily figure out who it is.
