Turkish

He'll have a couple of decent games for Nice and this thread will be full of we should have given him another chance/sold him to cheap posts instead.

When does the beach volleyball start?

No one said he was going to be put in the first team straight away. If he's part of the squad doesn't mean he'll be starter every week, much like WIll Smallbone and Nduluduldudludududududu are part of the first team squad but rarely play. My mates son is an 18 year old centre back at Bradford City, part of the first team squad there but only started one league game and a couple of papa johns matches.

Thanks Dirk, De Ridder was shite but i guess Alderwiereld balances the other two out.

Middle aged men in Lycra, what’s not to like on this thread 🙄

Probably Dune

We’ve been trying to let him go for 3 years it’s finding someone to take him that’s the problem

Can’t help but think what might have been if everyone had believed in him as much as some of us

Had a few crap ones. stig Johnansen, Jacobsen, Nielsen. Belgium, Van Damme was crap. Any others?

Russia Alexis Cherednik and Sergi Gotsmanov

Ecuador.

We paid £15m for Che Adams 2 years ago. Hardly big money these days.

Forget the gamma variant at your peril!

almost exactly a year since I started I’m completely addicted just wish I started sooner! Just finished my first competition, pairs comp and we came 14th out of 37. pretty happy with that considering the competition. Brutal but incredible day, 3 workouts in a day, each of them different but very tough. I thought it was a bit of a cult but it really is amazing, my fitness and strength gone through the roof, met some great people, made some good friends.

See I don’t get this. Last summer he trained for weeks at golden ring to get himself in top shape. He came back and was sent out on loan to a dutch club no one has heard of. I keep hearing it was his attitude but was it more of a personal issue Ralph had with him? He seems to have fallen out with a few youngsters.

Laud saints for the way we go about out business privately, despite it being all over the media we’ve had a ridiculously low bid rejected but this is just us not paying over the odds. Lambast any other club who has low offers appear in the media for our players as being disruptive scum club trying to unsettle our players

There is no middle ground. It this or certain relegation, bankruptcy with a future playing in leagues 1 and 2 forever

LOL, mentioning me again,

Our new club anthem to the tune of Mel and Kims Respectable Sell to buy, dont ask questions why we always gotta be sustainable

Agreed. He'd make a great special copper.

Supposedly we want to reduce his money to ONLY £70k a week.

I think you'll find most of that was in the early years when in the first two seasons after promotion we have a positive spend of about £65m. Since 2014/15 season we've pretty much spent what we've made, with a small profit. Exactly the same model we had under lowe we have now under Shanghai Leisure Holdings.

The fact that you've yet again mentioned me, hit the confused emoji again and pretending to have me on ignore suggests that i do indeed live in your head rent free 😃

you’ve cover a lot of it but missed Get depressed because we didn’t sign a whole list of players no one has heard of because they’re good on football manager or fifa/they went to another premier league club/you saw their name on some geeky scouting report or chart. judge a player purely on their statistics describe every young player and young and hungry so guaranteed to improve When we sell a player for a massive fee based on current prices bemoan years later how we we sold them too cheaply

But even before Goa and precovid we had to sell to buy. We only employed out of work managers so we didn’t have to pay compensation. It’s been this way for 7 years now, the only club to make a profit from transfers. All clubs make crap signings, all clubs appoint crap managers, only us seem to be on our arse. No doubt about it the well run club mantra that was trotted out is bollocks. We’ve been a shambles for years, unfortunately the current lot have to try and scramble through.
