He has played 1 game for England, Im sorry Lou, but he isnt the best right back they have ever had at all

The new board are a breath of fresh air, and have done superbly after the torrid start to this summer, they have re-engaged with the fans and breathed new life into the side. Unfortunately a lot of the work done early in league 1 to streamline and forge a better run club was necessary, however there wasnt a need to be as much as a grade a ***** as cortese was. And I do have experience of dealing with the bloke, not easy. I will however say that I believe he had our interests at heart, in a strange way, atleast until the end anyway

Regardless of the fact the bloke was a complete bellend I cant slag him off too much. We were bankrolled by the liebherrs but until Katherina Cortese was the commander and chief and realistically he didnt do a bad job getting us to where we are and laying foundations for future success

I pretty much agree with this TBH If this season we can hold our own against the likes of chelsea and arsenal (only really City have outplayed us IMO) then why should we be worried about champions league qualifiers ? Ok, it wont be easy but surely over two legs we are able to compete against the likes of Lille, Malmo or Celtic ?

Yup Tweet the media team, hopefully you have a good time over here, and hopefully its a bit warmer for you then it is this week ! Where are you staying ?

This really Ive seen Long fill in and he wasnt effective. Not a chance Manè or ellia can fill a pellè shaped hole and I doubt Jay Rod could cover it.

This

Yup, this We need backup for Pellè, but Sam isnt that man yet

Missed super sunday today, how was thierry ?

He needs to go out on loan really

Attacking midfield, he doesnt possess the natural ability to tackle or intercept as effectively as big vic or morgs but he has the brain to harry opposition in the final third Added to his excellent ability in passing, crossing etc and early signs that his footballing brain from an attacking pov defies his age. He plays like an experienced attacking minded midfielder IMO and think he'll end up an excellent player

This IMO, his game is nowhere near as expansive as Morgans and he doesnt have the pure athleticism either. Very very good player, but more of a little terrier. I have to say it, as good as he is I dont see the 'best player to come out of the academy' just yet.

He has been poor past couple of games, culminating in an aweful performance at utd Playing well today though

Always liked him, is quick, strong, good in the air and works hard Needs to sort those crosses though

Well, I wouldnt of, in fact was in the same situation today and ignored the keeper and cleared it. Its all about taking responsibility, was too far from forster, clyne was trying to occupy whats his name and Gardos cleared Was a fluke, nothing more

Tbf that started as a **** take of that loon on the rooney street soccer crap. The show is past it though, some of it is still valid, the crossbar challenge, showboats, last weeks goals etc but the sketches are so far past it and yes I dont care about some band nobodies heard of, nor the two presenters. Couldnt agree more re the fantasy football bit. Take the best bits off of Soccer AM, extend fantasy football and chuck it on pre sat games

Part of the contract he recieved to go on there, they even took away his saints mug and put a picture of cortese in his blue dressing room The bastards

Just cant see it, he isnt a big enough name, they'll go for the likes of matuidi, strootman etc before looking at Morgan fortunately. Id imagine he'll either stay in the prem, which is most likely, or perhaps PSG ? TBH, Arsenal, Liverpool, utd and City probably should be looking at him

It can be something stupid like an extra 1m a game plus the TV money associated which must equate to about 20mish Then potential to get better spinsorship deals. Match revenue etc And Batman, we've got this far, and through a fixture schedule over december many thought we would succumb to, many of which knew what they are on about.

I cant see him at real personally, they have Kroos and illarramendi

Yeah, more or less Though nothing is specifically agreed, but this tends to happen to ensure there is an oppurtunity to make something happen, and basically why you dont tend to see many deals fall through after fees agreed anymore

No No you dont

And the fact that he doesnt fit the system ?! And the fact that Long is employed on the right due to his workrate and not to score goals ? Unfortunately DT just doesnt get it

Theres always people that go over the top on things, coincidentally I was more worried in the summer then during admin.. In a weired way. The way I saw it in admin we had dropped so much we were unlikely to drop further, those that said we were in danger were IMHO wrong. We would have been picked up by someone. In the summer ? There was a very real threat that the wheels were not only off but off down the road. The board were early on a little naive, thats not to say they didnt overcome the issues, they did, with aplomb. However the likelyhood of a similar situation having the same results must be slim.
