Possibly, but the first step in any US answer to an international problem is to unleash their B-52s and blanket bomb the other side. Remember, the current situation started because the Taliban, or at least one of the factions, were sheltering Bin Laden. ( And of course, who armed the Talibannies and OBL in the first place ? The Yanks because they were fighting the Commies Russians ).

Historically Afghanistan has been a country run by tribal warlords, and only superficially governed centrally. It has also been the graveyard of just about every armed intervention. ( There was a British army that marched in, and 1 man got back). The Taliban is not a single entity. It is a loose alliance of militias bound by a conservative interpretation of Islam. Once they have control they will start squabbling amongst themselves.

They didn't put 9 past Bertie, he was sent off after the first.

Bednarek averages 1.5 per game, Vestergaard is 1.4

But according to MLG it is exactly what we need 😞

108 in 70 league matches over the last 2 seasons. ( 16 clean aheets ).

If Saints are in a position to sell Philips for £78million in 2 years time I will hug SOGgy and tell him I personally apologise for every perceived sin the British Empire is accused of ever committing..

I have no problem with the message, but I'm buggered if SOGgy takes the credit for my saying so.

If Philips is signed under our standard MO, how much profit might we make on £15million in a couple of years time ?

We average 1.5 goals conceded per 90 minutes across the last 2 seasons when Bednarek plays. Admittedly that is better than Stephens or Salisu ( last season ), ( Vesty is slightly better ), but it isn't really good enough for a player that is our first choice..

Who were the alternatives ?

I don't rate Bednarek as good enough to be the 'senior' starter of the pair and Salisu has played 50 first team games in his career to date.

Do you think that by playing they will demonstrate that their value should increase ?

And others wouldn't.

Because as a preferred starting CB pairing they are not good enough.

In which case we are fucked.

True, but not buying a 1st choice CB will be.

Underwhelming. ( Which is an understatement ).

Signing players that can be sold for a profit in three years is fine provided we stay up. Signing players that will improve our league position might actually bring in more money through prize money for a higher league position.

This is a rainbow shirt This is an illustration of an epileptic fit I understand the message, but every time I look at that I need to take a couple of paracetemol.

Hast tha ne'er bin teld to sit thee on th'settle ?

There is "speaking out against racism" and then there is repeatedly droning on and on,( and on and on ), lecturng people who are not racist, never have been racist, but refuse to be held accountable for historical events that took place 350 years before they were born, and who feel there is no need to publicly prostrate themselves and apologise for being born white, British, and male.

Dragons lay eggs, so layer is as relevant to them as it is to chickens.
