You remind me a bit of my older sister when we were kids. She was always pinching or nibbling at me, and was generally an irritating little cow. Like you she cried and whined when she got a deserved slap, and like you she could never see that she got what she deserved.

Yep...he's lucky that football bans are famed for their forgiveness.

Not ideal!! He was 16/17 though when he came out with that nonsense.

There's loads of kids who score lots of goals against other kids. Very few of those kids go on to score lots of goals against men at a good level. So far he looks more of a Sam Gallagher than an Alan Shearer. Hopefully the lad goes on to have a good career, but I'm glad we didn't throw £30m at signing him.

Lavia was the exception of course...it's Bazunu and Larios that irks me, plus Edozie to some extent (the kid we signed from Spurs will surpass Edozie imo). I'm not sure why City were so keen to sell Lavia. Personally, o don't see him as the second coming as some do. There's limitations to his game (can be slow to use it, offers little movement off the ball and between the lines) and I can only assume that City see his ceiling as not being as high as some others do. What City see in Delap is anyone's guess though.

It's bad enough that we gave city hard cash for the other 3. Fortunately we didn't buy this kid as well.

Good. The way people reacted to us not signing a kid who'd never played men's football was bewildering.

I was just starting the campaign for the likes Ron. Can't have them left out!

I've said before that the issue for him is who'd want him and play him. If his choice is Fulham or say a promoted club, is there any point in going? I fancied him to go to Chelsea early on but there's been no noise about that, then West Ham or Villa but seemingly they're looking elsewhere. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Nothing wrong with that mate 👍

Nope. No reason whatsoever. It's the most basic and essential utility. Scandalous that it was ever privatised.

I'm not nibbling at that bollox pal.

Aggregate

My thoughts. He came across well. Articulate, calm, understands the needs of the fanbase, etc. Decent first interview imo.

Do you feel you're qualified to say how a woman may or may not feel in the situations this discussion relates to? I sure as hell don't.

This thread has become bizarre. How any man feels able to express an opinion on what women should or should not be comfortable with is beyond me.

Prince

B team midfielder. Went on loan to a conference south team last year. Good to see that we're not holding onto a kid that won't make it here, and helping him move to a realistic level.

It's delusional to think that owners will essentially write off what they've spent and then throw more at players. Let's see what happens, but it's pretty obvious that we'll recoup a hell of a lot more than we spend.

He's not a PL player. He's a championship player. We're a championship team.

Adam Armstrong is Adam Armstrong. Bree is Bree. You're comparing an apple with a cabbage mate.

It's clear from a lot of the comments on this forum that people forget where we are now, and that the club will want/need to recoup a lot of money by selling a lot of players.
