Seeing the legs have fallen off Nobby and Milner is a villan come Jan we probably should look to the Chelski bargain bin again and also put in a offer for Wright-Phillips (as well as not instead of defenders and strikers ok fat man?)

(Yes LM we know we have no money but we are going to need someone).

 

Does anyone know, or would like to offer an opinion, if/when Dyer breaks down again the week after next and the club forces him into retirement, how does the insurance pay out work?

Are the club entitled to claim his wages since he last played? Or is it just an agreed figure payout of what the club have valued him at?

Not sure on Baines's defending qualities, he's got a rocket of a shot on him, he scored the best goal I've seen in the flesh a couple of seasons ago.

 

Baines screamer vs Ipswich

 

I remember watching that game on TV. What a fucking corker that was.

 

Did Ipswich not go onto win that game 2-1?
