Window Cleaner

Mané had a bit of a difficult start I believe.

must admit I've failed to seize that one off the bat as well.?

Highly likely, he's just not a 1 day bowler, might have been in the past, don't know about that but he goes for 40 ish every time now.

If you don't want to miss out on the most biased commentary ever broadcast have a listen to Radio Notts. No Solent today ?

Need to stop Wessels cos he's slamming us. Yesss, Crane gets him.

So we're off, Notts batting first and scoring a few in the opening overs. Need not to let Hales and Wessels get too set. Hah, magic, Hales caught by Afridi off Woods as I typed.

In fact Valence did sign (on loan) what to me would appear a similar sort of player from PSG. Perhaps Atletico and/or Vietto were too greedy or both. Could be that the bloke from PSG had a better agent or that PSG were willing to offer far more subsidies.

But they didn't, probably because that's far more than they'd be willing to pay. Bloke needs to reboost his value in the eyes of other clubs if he wants to get a big money move eventually. For the time being he's a trouble maker who's not played for about 6 months. Still reckon we'll never see the same sort of money that Liverpool would have given us.

Personally no but I'm sure that someone does.

so what does that mean then ?

Nothing concerning Vietto and Saints would be a good bet.

Did Vietto eventually get a move somewhere or other ?

Who can say, since Renard called him to explain exactly why he'd been dropped by Morocco all I've seen is a last minute wish to be transferred to Spain. Pity he couldn't do that towards the start of the window really, he'd have had a better chance of it coming off.

Won't be many more cup games against lower league sides this season though, one or two perhaps in January. Then again, knowing our luck we'll probably draw Utd away in the 3rd round.

Hmmm, seems to be a bit of a Boufal obsession here; The fact is that compared to the best of the best and even the best of the rest he is a very ordinary type of player. We paid what, about 15 million for him and we got what we paid for, an average player who'll sometimes shine and sometimes look pretty awful. If you want a Lemar or a Mbappe then it's upwards of 80 million and not a bent centime less.

And it won't happen this window anyway. As I noted yesterday, he's been dropped by Morocco and that won't have pleased him.

They were all disastrously bad because the team is bad, no point in trying to settle individual blame on any one player for any one event. Dutch football is a mess because all of their promising young players are sold off to bg clubs, where they don't play, at very early ages.

You obviously didn't see the match then did you. They were just, well clueless. Shambles in defence, shambles in midfield and pretty much non-existant in attack. They won't qualify and Virgil will do whatever he decides to do without Holland's WC future being part of that. I think he'll play because for me his value has taken a serious hit this summer. Apart from the dippers no other club looked over interested, well not at the price bandied about anyway.

No one would want to manage the shambles I witnessed yesterday.

Yep think it's tomorrow evening in Spain, probably something to do with the international round and Portugal is even later, in 2 or 3 weeks maybe.

right, didn't read it this morning, gardening after some long awaited rain.

There was something in L'Equipe about Sakho this morning, did West Ham pull the plug on his transfer to Rennes after he'd gone there to sign on, something like that?

don't be silly, why would he leave Leicester for Saints...honestly.

Not just the house, the outstanding milk bill as well.

Sounds likely, they're playing at 8.45 this evening. Serves them right, they've only had 3 months or so to get their transfers done and the WC qualifiers weren't arranged yesterday were they.
