Both lumia sold?

Nokia 935 or 635?

We have a "dearth of talent between 16 and 18" according to the powers at be. All a hangover from the admin era and recruiting of young talent apparently. Josh Sims is said to be shining light but not much else in that age group to get excited by.

Apple TV is good if you are willing to pay the Apple premium. Google chromecast is equally good. Tesco have been doing them for £18 which is stupidly cheap.

Yep. Or bonus payments. Or agents fee. Or any one of a number of things.

A fact = someone's dad on twitter? All I'm saying is the truth is unknown. I'll avoid twitter speculation thanks.

Its a known fact that the earth is not flat etc. There are no known facts about corks contract position, just assumptions.

Perhaps he doesn't want a new contract. Perhaps we've offered one and he's said no.

It was obvious from day 1 that this was good business. Poor players don't play for Chelsea in CL finals. He's come in and done very well. His positional sense is generally excellent, his distribution is very good, he's strong in the tackle.

What a good idea. If you could keep quiet until then please.

The two players were basically swapped, so of course the deals were connected. What's the point you're making?

I'm aware of that but what's "dubious" about that and what "stinks"? Sounds like a well considered business decision.

I don't get why its thought the deal(s) could be "dubious" or that it "stinks" as someone else said. One player went in each direction. The one we got hasn't worked out. Nothing to see on any level IMO.

Do you ever stop moaning? Don't you have something better to do than turn a tech related question into another of your whinge fests? On your point, is Taider leaving really bad news? A young loanee hasn't settled and/or his face doesn't fit. Hardly a big deal.

What's to be confused about? Osvaldo went there, Taider came here. Seems straightforward.

Good business IMO. He helped get Osvaldo out of the club. He gave cover if ms went. Now that ms is staying he's not needed. We bin him off and use the wages money for a player we actually need. Not sure what people are complaining about.

I hope we see a mix of squad players and kids. Kelvin Stephens, Jos, Gardos, Targett Taider, Cork, Reed Rowe, Long, Isgrove Something like that should be strong enough and give Ron a chance to look at the squad.

Ah, missed that. I was dealing more with the remark that FF and AB should have been told that they were fighting for no 1. Its understandable that FF will have wanted certain assurances re his position in the team if he were to join so the suggestion of letting them fight it out is not realistic imo. Shame if AB goes but understandable. We've bought well this summer. Areas of weakness have been identified and addressed. I have confidence that will happen here.

FF wouldn't have joined to be a no 2 or in a fight for no 1 imo. AB has been demoted to 2. He's had a hissy fit and is currently 3,4 or 5. If he stops acting like a muppet he'll get game time this season and provide good cover.

Agreed, it's a cover issue. FF will doubtless look after himself better than AB though and hopefully won't miss too much footy. Anyways, the signings so far suggest that areas of weakness are known and being covered. We'll be OK.

Yes it has. We now have a better and younger keeper. I appreciate the point on cover though.

But Del, FF wouldn't have come to be number 2. We needed a long term solution and AB throwing his toys out is an unfortunate consequence of that. Sad outcome but onwards and upwards.

Inaccurate. Yes it's easy enough but it's aggravation - completing the claim form, drafting a statement, taking time off work to attend court is time consuming. The minimum court fee is £35 for non online claims. This issue might be a quick fix for not much more than that. Costs are rarely awarded on small claims. if you win you'll be awarded the court fee though. remember though, the court only give awards. It's down to you to enforce (by paying more, and much costlier court fees) the award if he doesn't pay up. Have a word with the fella when he gets back. No doubt you can sort it sensibly - good luck.
