That rather hinges on keeping some of them though.

Can he play a pressing game at his age?

Or give him another year I could see some logic in that maybe.

Doubt it as no one is paying his wages.

Absolutely. I'm going to be interested to see what AM we go for now. If it's a youngster with potential then that's three in a row. I wonder if we would then get a big money more experienced Fernandes replacement if he goes

Clearly the plan is to bring in an AM and then do just that. Aribo Bednarek Bazunu ABK Possibly Taylor Need to leave. Anyone else who leaves will need replacing.

More deflection. You accuse me of not answering a question and then you quite clearly refuse to answer in any detail the questions I asked. Simply pathetic.

Bollocks did you! Your "answer" such as it was was that you want it sorted ASAP on the best terms. Zero detail on how to achieve that, zero idea about whether you'd accept some strike action or if it needed to be sorted I bthe next two weeks, no idea about whether you'd accept more taxpayer money given to junior doctors. Comprehensive answer my arse.

Nope. Neither party had the best approach.

I think in fairness to the club they've bought him at the exact right time. If we'd waited a season and he had a good one in the Bundesliga then he would have been out of our reach financially. I hope he can develop as much as the club thinks he can.

Persuade Ramsdale to stay and give it to him.

I agree. Their problem was thinking that the union were reasonable people last year rather than the money grabbing cunts they are.

Right so you criticised me for saying I wanted the government to be tougher but you've essentially given the same answer for this round of negotiations! You can't tell me whether you'd be prepared for some strikes this year or not and if you are happy with that then why were strikes so unacceptable last year? Given that the doctors have just waited a year and then threatened more strikes, I'd have preferred a tougher stance last year which may have meant they hadn't given up so much last year so they could have maybe been a bit more generous this year. Maybe that would have meant some industrial action last year but all we've really done is delayed the industrial action a year. With how much was given last year there's very little left to concede from the government side short of giving even more money which will be hideously unpopular with the electorate.

So should there be a deal in the next two weeks to prevent strike action? Or do we accept some strikes in order to get a better deal?

@egg So what needs to happen now then in your opinion? Face down the unions and prepare for a summer of strikes that were unthinkable last year? Or give the unions more money? Or something else? goodness me you think you'd be able to find it for yourself given that I asked you this yesterday and you still haven't answered it. You're the very thing you accuse me of
