Maybe. Hugely more likely that he's seen that a champions league club are in for him and he wants to go there for three or four times his current wage.

Yes but that is the majority of our decent players. Only really Alcaraz and kwp left from last year after that lot have gone.

Maybe but I think he's the one I really wanted to watch apart from Alcaraz next year. I was excited to see what he could do in the championship. Never mind.

Is that 30 for saints or 30 in total with us getting a piddling amount after Chelsea take their slice? That's a bit disappointing to be honest.

Yes I get that. I just don't think being not so great at dribbling isn't something that doesn't seem to fit in a Martin team. The evidence suggests the opposite.

I remember reading that Martin teams don't do dribbling.

I wasn't disputing that bit.

You said "Bree isn't the best RB in the league". I think many people were of the opinion that he was the best RB in the league last year.

Wasn't he one of the best rbs in the division last year?

You're insane.

The other point with Tino is it's not actually a loss that we will really feel given that he was out for the whole of last year. Obviously would prefer to keep him but it's not the end of the world.

Blimey. Rip their hand off if we get that.

I bet we sell Tino and kwp and sign a new rb or use Bree.

How about Downes and Ings for jwp and 10 million?

I am pleased for you that your desire for red wine was the top priority!

I think we will almost certainly add Perraud, Salisu, ABK and probably DCC as well. Who knows about the rest.

For 200k per week tax free I think I could manage for a year or two.

Nah you can easily make up, some bullshit about being attracted by the project and the vision of the team.

Well yes but this is an Internet web forum with a readership of a few hundred. I'd wager that GB news is a tad more influential.

I'm sure some have been faked but it's not entirely unlikely that the likes of the government's nudge unit would look to change the colours for some weather maps to look to influence behaviour. I've personally got no idea if it is happening though as I don't watch terrestrial telly.

If that amount is correct, then that's absolutely incredible business.

Dan Wotton has always struck me as a right creepy weirdo and a faintly ridiculous human being. Whether that means he's guilty of some of these allegations only time will tell. He is certainly guilty of gutter journalism and a purveyor of gossip so I don't really think his wide availability on the airwaves is a net positive either way. I've seen a few clips of GB News on social media and I think some of it can be interesting- giving a different perspective on some news stories and going out into the country to talk to people for example- but some of it isn't really news and is more entertainment and gossip than anything else. I certainly disagree with odious organisation like Just Stop Hate standing in judgement over them and trying to get them shut down but it's undeniable that there are a few loony personalities on there.

Sorry I'm distracted by your avatar so have difficulty replying coherently.

We could lose 6-0 against Bournemouth and it will be entirely meaningless if we subsequently go and smash Sheffield Wednesday. Yes, failing to finish chances may be an indicator of problems for when the season starts, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating and that is how we get on at the start of the season and not before. Aribo scored an incredible goal last preseason and everyone was going nuts about it and then he was rubbish all year. The reverse could happen this year for all we know.

I couldn't care less how we perform against Bournemouth in a preseason friendly as long as we are ready for the season. It may give us an indication but then again it may not.
