Window Cleaner

Mata wasn't getting much game time either because Mourinho can't stand him as a player. So they get 37 million for him and cover the fees of Matic and Salah (11 million). With the sale of De Bruyne they might even show a + figure on a transfer window, not often that that happens at Chelsea.

We'll probably end up either paying him to do nothing or subsidising his salary at some second rate Italian club then, good stand by the players though.

wouldn't cut it in todays game, I mean Baird is what 31 and is about to be farmed out to Brighton. If he was the real deal we should be looking at signing him, Lescott must be about that age and clubs seem to be falling over to sign him, Distin is 35 or so and still a kingpiece in Everton's defence. As for Lundekvaam don't make me laugh. He was crap then, he'd be even worse now, a junky and alcoholic.

Some EU governments are relaxing their efforts a bit are they not ? The 2020 goals will still be maintained but the 2030 targets are being lowered somewhat I believe. I'm not a climate change man by any means but that's what I understood from colleagues who are the other day.

Certainly, I'd just as soon have Terry in the job. One of his wives was a friend of my late Mum. He also gave me a quid for mowing his lawn on bob a job, A quid was a kings ransom in those days, some scroogy buggers only gave you a tanner for about 2 hours work. I suppose bob-a-job would be illegal now, trade unions would class it as child labour.

Well I wouldn't presume to answer for him but we do seem to have a few quite serious training ground injuries over the years although I suppose that must be quite common in professional football. It's not just the MP era either, don't think he was even here when Guly clobbered Gaston last season and put him out for a couple of months with some sort of aggravated dead-leg.

Does he have the qualifications for such a role ? I wouldn't have though so, figurehead president instead of Terry Paine perhaps.

Morgan turned down (well Cortese helped him) Sociedad last summer because he wanted to stay here and be part of the progress towards great things. They were offering about 16 million and of course European football, I do wonder if he's not regretting that now. It was documented somewhere or other, perhaps in one of the long interviews he gave to the French media when we were riding high what seems ages ago now. With all eyes on Griezmann at Real now you'd just have to wonder what he might have made of that chance.

A wedgy then, strange thing to do to a team mate unless of course it was just an over exuberant goal celebration.

I think the 20000 will include the 3200, seemed to be that way last time, as large parts of the stadium seem to be closed for this game can't be far from sold out surely.

Indeed but does a player who's been out injured (or so they tell us) need to be taking overly muscled challenges from team-mates really, jeez we've enough trouble finding a decent side to put out against the Arse as it is without our own players contributing. Train hard OK but there have to be limits. There must have been some pre-existent animosity between the two of them surely.

apparently the head of player recruitment, whoever that non-entity may be.

Wouldn't count on it myself, seems to be getting near the rubicon unless we've done serious spade work beforehand. Two two month injuries,Osvaldo acting the idiot obviously trying to force his way out, no real strength in depth anywhere...yep we could certainly do with a signing of a decent player but I just doubt everything about the infrastructure of SFC needed to make it happen just now.

Unsaleable, loan until the summer and then hope he has a good WC is our best option. Wouldn't get a bag of ready salted for him just now.

Although it will probably be on reduced terms now. Can't see who we have to negociate with them anyway.

Salah ?

In fact I think Bearsy just hides his talents under a clown's costume. Have you noticed that he in fact writes quite well and has a sharp noggin, wouldn't be at all surprised if the Bear isn't either highly educated or a wanna be journalist, the 2 being mutually exclusive of course.

Good CBs are a rare thing,not enough to go round, we certainly won't get one in the last few days of a TW unless we've done a lot of ground work already. We'll probably have to muddle through with what we've got unless of course there are any more Roger Johnsons out there just waiting to be snapped up out of the obscurity by ambitious PL clubs.

Clueless as usual. Players like Didier Drogba would never ever dream of playing for a club not involved in European Competition in a WC year. We are untouchable to that category of player and will soon become untouchable to some of our actual players who have a bit of ambition. Lallana, Lovren, Shaw and Schneiderlin gone this summer, count on it.

Johnny Depp pirate picture I expect.

I don't think we can move him on for anything in January, best we could hope for is a loan deal to one of the italian clubs that are supposed to have been trying to obtain that from us (don't know how accurate those reports are though). However we have weakened our hand in that by suspending him so publicly just now. Any potential loan suitor will now know that we're pressed for time as there are only what 8 days left in the TW. As we wouldn't seem to have anyone to negociate such a deal anyway then all we can do is go crawling back to any club that actually made us an offer and get as much of that as remains now as possible. I'd have hushed it up at least for a couple of days and tried to negociate quickly with any club still interested.

jesus, no-one is supposed to do that to Glasgow, he says whatever it is that needs to be said to appear contrary (you know like the arguement sketch). It is absolutely not on to ever recall anything that he's said in the past which doesn't not support his views on any given day. I mean I could have picked him up on Billy Sharp yesterday but didn't because well...I couldn't be bothered, he is a troll, tolerated by the board administration for some reason only known to themselves.

Jesus has said Wanyama probably won't play. I really doubt that the team will be that weak, some thought that before the Burnley game and in the end we put out a good side, fortunately for us. This time I expect to start with a strongish side and then sub the core players when we're 3 or 4 up, hopefully before half time. One first team regular at least in every department of the side, 2 in defence.

Oh I don't doubt that they'll find someone else who's surplus to requirements somewhere or other, whether it will be someone of the class of Lukaku is debateable though. As for Traoré they might not even get him, Falcao went down under the effects of an atrocious tackle from a semi-pro player in last night's cup game and it looks as if he may well be out for a while so the theory is that Monaco may not lend Everton Traoré after all. To be confirmed or not at sometime in the next week or so.

To be fair Willie Soon is just one of many highly qualified men of science who argue that climate change is a result of natural phenomena, I'm sure that there's a list of them somewhere. Perhaps GM didn't pick the most shining example amongst them though because Willie , well he's taken a lot of grant money from fossil fuel companies. That's not to say that he doesn't believe what he maintains to be correct though.
