I thought he’d explained that bit in the interview? I wasn’t really following the saga when it first happened. Why do you think he’s being alternative for the sake of it? Is that your opinion of anyone who holds a different point of view to yours? Playing devils advocate… what’s to say that your view is the right one? Some might say that listening to the mainstream narrative would itself make someone boring, tedious etc. Life would be boring if we all had the same opinion on stuff eh? This thread probably belongs somewhere else!

I think this is the problem though. Anyone with an alternate point of view to the norm’ is considered an attention seeker. Maybe he has his own opinions and thankfully in a democracy he’s free to express them. I like to keep an open mind because, let’s face it, none of us know what’s really behind all the stuff going on in the world. We might not like some of it, but he had every right to not follow the herd.

Great listen. Fair play to having his own beliefs and living his own life. I don’t mind GB news….less lecturing and virtue signalling than most. Mind you, it’s not hard to compete with the other news channels.

Still that stupid “told me to kick his fcking head in” song. ”you fat bar steward” at goal kicks, when none are remotely fat. The old “you’re sht aaaah” was fine.

I hope you're wrong - we'd be nuts to sell the player of the league last year with still a few years left on his deal for that amount. We'd only end up splaffing that and more on someone who probably isn't proven....or who offered less in the league last year.

Agree, and nobody should be paying that sort of cash for him. But, with the sales of the big names plus those leaving and off the wage bill, we should be demanding big money for players who can (most probably) make a big impact next year. There’s no point in selling Tella, Alcaraz etc for less than top dollar because a) we’ll have lost two decent players for not much cash, and b) we’ll still then have to stump up decent cash just to replace them. They’re worth more to us and a push for next season than they are being sold for anything less than top money (for their level of player).

No he isn’t, and Tella isn’t worth £25m. But, to let these players leave that’s what we should be commanding. They’re our players under decent length contracts, and who we need next season. Clubs will need to cough up way over the odds if they want them.

I detest Everton.

Always liked Ruben.

Same here, the club aren’t the only thing that needs a reset before the start of next season!

The Lockyer incident looked a bit worrying.

Yes you’re right. Unless my maths is shot too.

I'm inclined to agree, although (perhaps stupidly) i've kept my seat in the Northam just because it's always been my seat. Probably because i couldn't have ever got my own at The Dell.

Quoting Dman further up...

This is the great thing about a forum - if we were in a pub debating/joking about prices etc, we'd all laugh and talk normally, and i expect "grow up" wouldn't come into it. If you look at the first page of this post you'll see i thought there may be a reduction. It's just forum chat....

I’m not surprised…..the “4 more games” koolaid has worked!

So, that makes mine £11 cheaper without early renewal. Excuse me while I pick up the soap…

Yes, and if rumours are of either replacing Rice at WHU (who'll leave for big bucks) or joining mega rich NU then we can absolutely pull their pants down. We need to stand firm this window and make sure we get an absolute premium for these players. If Dragan is more involved, then maybe he'll play proper hardball.

Is he in the building yet?!

I kind of get this, from a courtesy point of view…..but I recruit contract engineers and when the contract isn’t renewed due to poor performance (or cut short) they’re certainly not informed about a replacement. But I guess that’s the difference between working to a fixed term contract and being a permanent staff member. Ultimately it’s not his business. There’s no chance he wouldn’t have known what’s going on anyway with other candidates.

Barring a numnber of long term injuries, he is never going to be a starter (bench warmer if he's really lucky) for England....even when his stats are top notch and he's scoring goals he's not high up on the list. One would imagine that any move shouldn't be based on an England career, but simply staying in the PL.

Quite probably. Doesn’t change the fact that currently he shouldn’t be anywhere near a football pitch. Regardless of who your employer is, in any job, there’s no excuse to not at least pretend to try.

Aribo has no place on any football pitch.

Kids on for 45 minutes please. I mean, why not?

You’ll definitely have much more fun in a stream.
