I called him that because I didnt know and can hardly remember my own name (chemo brain fog). Lots of posters here know 10 tomes more than me and I love finding out stuff I didnt know

I think future windows are going to look very different, and our strategy will change from next year to year 3. We all know the strategy this year was fill the most voids and build the best possible foundation on short notice. Next summer I...

Be interesting to see what the Man City guy brings in terms of ideas and contacts etc, etc. Scouting strategy could be interesting as if we do sneak into a Euro position we will need a certain quality and may need to raise the quality of some...

Brighton is Brighton. Brighton's strategy can never be Evertons, Everton's strategy should realistically be (now BK has gone) about how to get back to winning stuff. That is not Brighton. Everton should see itself arriving at the point, and...

Identifying good players is half the battle. Holding onto talent and having time to build around them is the other half. We have suffered for decades with holding onto talent. It’s resulted in patchwork squads that cannot kick on. The first...

There's a difference between buying an analytics company and founding one. They'll get a lot of data, but will they know what to do with it?

In fairness we’ve had good buys from inside and outside the PL Lukaku Richarlison Pickford Gueye Tarkwoski Gareth Barry McCarthy all had PL experience and turned out to be very good players for us. Can even go further back to Baines Jagielka...

The team that was working below Purdy are largely still all intact, so the work on targets etc that was done under Purdy and Thelwell is all still our intellectual property It shouldn't be any surprise that we've gone after targets that we've...

A bit of Putin fuelled casual racismo. Nice!!!! Remind them not to get invaded again. Isn't JPB taking legal action against us over exactly the same thing. Not as if we have plenty of previous of bringing back players not fully fit.

care for a gentleman's wager? After the midfield colapse in the last 15 v Wolves, Moyes is going to want Gana and Garner in midfield for as long as possible. Seamie and Jake will play if Myko doesn't make it.

We paid £6 million for him, and anyone who saw him at Wigan could tell he was a good player, I was mystified when Moyes didn't play him!

A couple of footballers wouldn’t have gone amiss within that bunch.

Bravo. There is little in life than cant be achieved if the probability of it is earnestly believed and you work towards it in an organized and inteligente manner.

Future windows need to be planned, 3-5 years in advance, we should know what, when and profile we need every year for a minimum of three years ahead. To put it very simply, recruitment and improvement is easy - just make consistent good...

I need a superhero to sort my garden And its the size of a duvet.
