I think the majority of us get it. It's you lot that seemingly don't. This summer we lost Morgan, who we'd all accepted would be gone this window anyway. So i'm not sure why people are using this transfer as a stick to hit the club with. It was obvious it would happen on September 1st last year. Clyne was a deal that made sense for the club. We offered him a contract, we were seemingly advanced with that, but Liverpool came knocking and turned his head. We could have kept him, but then we'd have run the risk of losing one of our best players for zilch. We had to protect our investment so made a decision that made sense for the club. Other than that, we've not lost anyone else. And what are you agreeing with? The club have said, Ronald has said, No one will be leaving. End of discussion. Door shut.

It looks like it is going by all the reports/talk/ everywhere - and the fact there are no other rumors linking him with anyone else. It's been clear we've wanted him from day 1 and I'd imagine stuff has gone on in the background to a stage where things are agreed in principle ready for a deal to be done.

Huh?

There's also a lot of talk about Jack Cork being the savior of all things football. But Clasie isn't an AMC, I don't agree with people who think that. He'll play in a 3 I imagine, with Romeu and Victor. He'll be more of a CM who dictates the pace rather than a marauding AMC. He comes with a lot of pedigree and I've always been impressed with his use of the ball, and how he settled into life in the Dutch team. He's clearly very talented, the only question marks are around his size - but sometimes I think too much is made of that.

The fact is that certain people were made to look very, very, very, very silly last summer. They didn't have much chance to harp back on last season to proclaim they were right, but this is now the perfect opportunity for them to jump back on board the ''asset'-strip'' ******** that was spouted out. And before my friend Dig Dig mentions that I wasn't happy last summer, no there were stages I wasn't and I made my feelings known, but I accepted that the club came through what was an unprecedented situation with a lot of success and plaudits. I put trust in Les Reed and that trust was rewarded. I can admit when I judged a situation wrong, or when I let the emotions get ahead of me, but seemingly some people just can't let it go just so they can get one over on their fellow fans. It's very odd and nothing to do with football what so ever.

What's he chatting about exactly? We sold 2 players we fully expected to sell. Toby was never ours and will be replacement imminently. The club have put their foot down and have categorically said that NO ONE ELSE will be sold. So what is he chatting about? Just waffle to try and make transfer deadline week/day/whatever exciting. Chat about nothing really.

Come on Chez, you're better than this. They're two totally different players.

Slight concussion.

LOL.

Yeah I saw that, seems as if the load balancing across the servers wasn't working as expected - but should be now. This is the first service of this type where the providers have actually admitted a problem though, on others I've used in the past (offsidestreams) they just ignore you if you have any issues and hope you'll go away. I have no idea how long this will last, but it's a notch up on anything I've used streaming wise before.

I think most people in the world know he's going to sign tbh. In fact he probably already has bar the signature.

We went back to basics today, had a good shape, good organisation and defended very well as units over the pitch. This meant that we lacked much of an attacking threat, but that wasn't helped by the withdrawal of Mane. I think we just needed to get back to basics with defending, which we did. The goals will come as long as we get the defensive basics correct. Neither team deserved to win, neither team deserved to lose. Playing away at promoted teams in the first bunch of games isn't ideal.

Been using it via Kodi today, bar a drop at around 42mins, it's been totally faultless. Crystal clear stream, HD Quality and no buffering. Very pleased.

Stunned by some of the ractions on this thread, it's no where near as bad as some are suggesting. We're doing our job, it's clear that our plan is to nullify the game and see where we are come 60mins or so.

Too much gap between the midfield and the attack, thus nothing much happening. Blow to lose Mane, as he was our real threat (as he is most games). Defensively we're a lot better though. Romeu just looks a bit of a player by the way he does things and moves around the pitch.

TSN3, TSN4, CTH Stadium 2 and Extra Time 1 are all showing the game.

A player of Pedro's quality available at £20m, yet WBA's own Berahino going for £21m. He's like 5 or 6 levels down from Pedro. WBA are pretty trash though. Really don't rate them as a team, seemingly no quality what so ever. And any team who has Mclean as a starter deserves to go down.

Well, the game isn't the same game anymore. It's dominated by money, money talks. That's why there's a hell of a lot more speculation. That method these days would just make things 100 times worse.

Christ on a bike, there is some utter trash written on this thread.

I really hope you have a lot of waterproofs on, as you are seemingly constantly wetting something.

The only thing the January window does is encourage clubs to spend stupid money, it's best keeping out of that window. That's why I think changing it to a 'loan window' will be a better idea. Will still give clubs the options to change/add depth if they need to, but will encourage them to get all their business done before the season starts. The way it should be, it'll just keep the season a lot tidier.

If I'm honest, that would make it worse. There is a tool for clubs to play the dirty and unsettle players most of the season then, no one will have a settled squad at any point. In my opinion, it opens when the season ends (or 1st June) and closes the week before the start of the season (1st August). Scrap the January window as that offers zilch, but allow loans during that month.

The Add-on did cock up for me, but I've just had a bit of time to sort it. In the end, the cleanest way I found was to totally factory reset my FireTV device. I then side-loaded Kodi back onto it, and then re-added the Sportsmania repo - it then grabbed the correct add-on and everything is now working hunky dory. For some reason, I couldn't get Kodi to forget the 'old version'. I even removed Kodi from the device, but it still remembered everything - factory reset was the only way to start again, no idea where it kept all the files tbh and I couldn't be arsed to find out! Tomorrow will be the acid test...but managed to watch a few games (European ones) tonight, and all seemed very good.

I saw something on a Celtic forum which suggested he took a knock and won't be fit anyway, but that could just be tosh. If true though, then we'll prob push it through asap.
