    Mine is easy. Howard Kendall, player manager in the less iconic of the Hafnia kits early 80's. Not that I remember it like, my first real memory of that era is the Milk Cup final 84. Something about Howard though, with nearly a full head of...

    Because you could literally say "it might not work out" about every single transfer ever. I don't think anybody is getting upset, just pointing out that he's a soundbite wum machine with rarely anything insightful to say on actual footy matters...

    John from Bootle reacted to b-rad's post in the thread Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish with Like Like.
    He’s not being farmed out immediately after being signed for £100m. It’s four years later. Simon Jordan pointing out there's an element of risk and that there's a chance it won't be a success isn't a massively wild take - that’s true. But…the...

    I have my reservations, but not sure this is a valid point. He's had success at City, and been there for 4 years. Pep is always looking to evolve and his book value to City now is less than £20 million, and if you think City care about anything...

    See Tete's Fulham decision for one. People underestimate the human element sometimes. If you are already unimaginabley wealthy then an extra few bucks to uproot your family might not be right for you. On a completely different scale but I...

    Feel like it's more about him not having to move house tbh . He's got a baby who is not even 12-months-old. I'm fine with that though. There will be plenty of players who won't want to move here because they'd rather live in London, or wherever...

    Never even heard of him. Thn again he's only made 11 PL appearances so not that surprising.
  • John from Bootle
    Time will tell I suppose. He's clearly got ability so I'm just gonna wait and see.
  • John from Bootle
    I hope so mate. I have a lingering doubt that he lost hunger after the treble win. It's nothing more than a doubt though and like I say, I'm willing to give him the benefit of any doubt I may have. What I will say though is that if you play for...

    Yeah he even tried to give Drenthe opportunities. Drenthe of course made it so that was impossible in the long term, but to pretend he only likes work horses and is averse to flair players is wide of the mark. Moyes wants players to have a work...
  • John from Bootle
    I've got concerns over his hunger, but there's no doubting his ability. As with all new signings I, will give him the benefit of the doubt and won't say anything negative about him unless it becomes blatantly obvious he doesn't care and/or is not...

    John from Bootle reacted to Eggs's post in the thread Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish with Haha Haha.
    ….where are those odds, certainly worth a couple of quid? Grealish is now 1-4 to join us, Dibling is evs. A £1 double pays circa £2.50.

    I'm sure he wouldn't swap it, but Slot winning the league in his first season might turn out to be a bad thing for him. Only one way things can go now, and it's not up.

    Very nearly squeaky clean. One warning 5 years ago, 23 days after signing up, for swearing. I'll be honest, using words like crap and barsteward has helped me to vent frustration at times without incurring reprimands.
