  1. He has made some kamikaze last ditch one on one saves. I like him and think he is a big part of our success, he'd get in my side every time Bill.
  2. At Spurs and Stoke the ball went through defenders legs so not seen until late. Davis was at fault for giving the silly tug and Morgan missed his tackle allowing Nzonzi to run at the defence which screened him from Forster.
  3. Boruc is on a 93 day loan and can be recalled immediately after the first month, so is now available if we need him.
  4. I'd like him to stay but the signs are not good. His house at Wellow is on the market and the contract is ignored. If he doesn't sign I'd let him go for the best fee possible as soon as possible and use the money to add to the squad.

    Jay Rod!

    Except to sign the new contract offered. If he doesn't, he knows he will be leaving in the summer at the latest as there is no way we will let him run his contract down.
  6. In the Premier League this season Di Maria has 4 assists in 6 games. Tadic has 7 in 8 games.
  7. In terms of his ability to put the ball in the right place he is the nearest thing to Terry Paine that I've seen. So much more to his game, great football brain and probably for me the most impressive thing on Saturday, when Clyne was caught up field, he raced into the right back position level with the CBs. A real team player.
  8. 9-3 v Wolves. Jimmy Melia played inside left in the middle of the field. For some reason he wore the No 9 shirt which in those days was the centre forward who was marked by the No 5. He followed Jimmy everywhere. That left a bloody great hole in the Wolves defence. It must have been late sixties.
  9. If he doesn't sign the contract on offer we should unload him for another big fee to a PL top mug. Never been a better time. If he doesn't want to be part of this team and wants a move for the money, best that he goes.

    Sadio Mane

    I thought he had to call in to the embassy at Accra to get his stamp and only arrived in the UK on Saturday morning.

    Pelle

    Nice back heel for Schneiderlin's goal. Good distribution, won tackle in our left back corner, two goals. Totally different from Lambert, concentrates on the middle and getting in on goal. WBA game, was isolated because of four square passing midfielders so lacked support. Midfielders now running the channels so getting into scoring positions. I like him, he looks a good team player.
  12. Rather uniquely it appears we are getting Artur Boruc's side of the story. Is he going to be available to play, now the transfer window is closed, or go on loan to a Championship club?
  13. If Rodriguez doesn't sign the contract on the table by January we should cash in and sell him. He has his house in Wellow on the market. He is out of contract in less than two years. His injury dictates a slow rehabilitation. If we don't need him maybe rather than try to play him we should keep him on the side lines and let his buyer get him back to fitness. We won't have to worry about getting him back to form. If there is a deterioration in performance it won't come to light until after he transfers. IMO it looks like he isn't going to sign the contract.
  14. If Forster is out injured we'd be bloody mad to play anybody but Boruc in goal. Never mind who subs, when push comes to shove Boruc has to play.
  15. Patently Yoshida is comfortable either side, Gardos and Alderwiereld also appear to be able to play either side but Fonte has struggled any time he has been tried on the left.
  16. Last year total £52m, max increase £4m to £56m, however £92m ish transfer income, £60m ish outlay allows £30m ish to be used to cover salaries etc and raise next years FFP calculation. In addition TV money up around £80m plus attendance and commercial income gives us a very healthy position. The sales this year have really strengthened the finances because of the inflated fees.
  17. It will be interesting to see who Koeman picks. I'm thinking same side as West Ham game. I can't see him putting two right sided CBs together unless one of them is comfortable playing there. In the end maybe not next week I can see Alderwiereld and Gordas as a pair. Evolution seems to be Koeman's way.
  18. His house in Wellow is up for sale. It may be that it is a bit isolated.
  19. Mane Spurs bid reported £8m we could be winding Levy up at £11.8m
  20. Sky saying bids for Mane and Alderweild. Mind you Spurs bid for Mane £8m but £11.8m bid might be pay back to Levy.
  21. Dragunov was a good one.
  22. Useful player, unlike Fonte and Hooivelt can play left or right CB. Last season like Ramirez he suffered by playing in Brazil and arriving back too late for pre season.
  23. The really stupid thing about Neville was he looked like he actually believed the rubbish he was spouting.
  24. Van Dijk not in Celtic team today.
  25. Replay from behind showed the shot missing the goal and headed in by Pelle. No doubt it will be shown and highlighted tonight and tomorrow. I don't care who scored.
