Thats the fella, cheers. There were at least a couple more as well and Hooliveld was very much a last minute move. He turned out alright in the championship despite and infamous scouting report from a poster who TUI who claimed he had seen him play for Celtic and had scored an own goal, given away a penalty and got sent off in a match for Celtic, on further investigation it turned out it was a completely made up 😂😂

That was the point I was replying to, we signed Sharp, Fox, Lee, Hooliveld who all played a big part in our championship promotion but barely played again when we went up. we signed Hooliveld back end of the summer window in the championship after we’d missed out on our top 3-4 targets I forget their names now but one of them we from Bristol City thought it was a done deal then collapsed at the last minute

I think we should just get him signed up for a 6 year deal on low wages and stop messing about

Brought is Hooliveld as well didnt we? Started the first few games but out of his depth in the premier league. Yoshida came in and partnered Fonte for the rest of that season before we got Lovren a year later who made a difference.

You can replace Diblings name with that of any half decent kid. It's absolutely absurd that people think 17, 18 year talented kids, their agents and their families will just happily sign any old deal for years with no clue if it's a good or bad deal.

That's how i see him, might be alright in the championship but he looked shite in the premier league. Seemed unable to do even basic stuff which was nothing to do with tactics or managers.

He wants to stay but hasn't got a deal from Saints they feel is acceptable yet - which disproves the bollocks we should nail them down to long term contracts on low wages as they'll have no idea what they're really worth He wants to leave but hasn't got a deal from another club which Saints and Diblings bros feel is acceptable yet - which disproves the bollocks we should nail them down to long term contracts on low wages as they'll have no idea what they're really worth He is open minded and happy to stay or leave depending on what's on offer- which disproves the bollocks we should nail them down to long term contracts on low wages as they'll have no idea what they're really worth

Careful, you'll upset the wallys on here with their who needs experience mantras.

I think it’s hilariously naive that there are still people who think we can tie down all our top young players into long contracts on low wages and them and their agents will be like starry eyed little boys signing the contract as soon as the can with no idea of anything else going on in the insestuous, money obsessed football world, what their market value and wage expectations should be.

What case? All you’ve done is claim the usual suspects making the usual comments. Which comments are you referring to? What’s the implication you’re making by your claim? What counter points do you have against the “usual remarks”? make a case before resting it. All you’ve done is make a brash statement

bit harsh on Stewart

an LGBT and a mix race person i'd suggest

ITV news reported that he'd been sacked so not sure, all seems a bit odd though.

I have a couple of mates who are very into investments so i'll follow their lead on this sort of stuff, i need to do my own research too. As for properties, agree. My plan was to buy one and rent it but it doesn't seem worth it. Two friends of mine are landlords, one owns 5 properties he lets to students the other owns 6 flats which he rents to profesionals, it works for them but if you're just going to have one and rent it out whilst also having a normal job from what i've seen it's not worth the hassle unless you have no mortgage on it and can buy it outright.

it is very odd and he denies saying it. Im not fan of Torode, think he's a bit of a knob but this does seem right. If you're going down this road then everyone could be sacked from their jobs. Im sure we've all said something at some point in the last 10 years that could be considered offensive to someone. Wallace is different as there is a repeated behaviour here but one comment, years ago, seriously?

Thanks that’s what I’m planning to do, split the pension across 6 or so different funds and leave it long term. I’ve had this money sitting there for ages so makes sense to try and use it a bit more wisely. If/when I leave my current job I’ll do the same with that and stick that in the same SIPP too.

Been recomended Hargreaves Lansdown, i've got a decent amount to put in and apparently with them you can chose your own investments, a mate of mine joined their SIPP two months ago and has made about 8% so far.

It's funny coming from aintforever, whenever there is a chance to show what a lovely person you are it's a race between him and a couple of other serial virtue signallers to be the first to post how great it all is. One might suggest people doing this might also have serious issues.

I dont think a single person is resentful. The issues are self inflicted by the promotion of it. As has been mentioned on this thread, the level of womens football is miles below that of mens and you'd have to be an absolute idiot to suggest otherwise. Yet as also mention on this thread we have seen Ellen White listed alongside Harry Kane and Rooney as Englands top all time scorer, that is absolutely ridiculous and does the womens game no favours Like womens athletics and tennis keep it seperate and enjoy it for what it is. The problem is there are certain people that take it very personally if anyone dares to suggest this.

is anyone?

which is exactly the point i've making by the usual suspects dont seem to be able to understand. Unless you're frothing at the gash about then you're being negative and making the usual remarks 😂

i have been advised to consolidate all of my workplace pensions (not my current one) and stick it all in a SIPP. Anyone else done this? Worth it or not?

we managed to get 25m for two lots of shite so miracles do happen!

i see the usual suspects are getting upset about how low level womens football is, like a feminist with sand in their knickers. So predictable.

Danny Ings was 6 years ago, Ramsdale hasn't played 40 premier league games for us. Walker-Peters, success These are ones we've signed permanantly for a decent amount that weren't past their best and all turned out to be in our best signings in the last 6 years. Yet some claim it doesnt matter. Theres your proof right there. There are a few others frees and loans. Walcott, Maitland Nyles, Frazer, Lallana all of which past their best and poor. Although Walcott was okay in his first season. Dont think any of them played 40 games though Cant think of any others.
