Lanolin's latest activity

Being a Premier League backup keeper is by far the best job that exists on this planet.

Yes I think there'll definitely still be some business to do after the season kicks off and that's both understandable and potentially beneficial. I suppose where i'm coming from is there seems to be a bit of a 'these guys know what they're...

I get that. Weeks ago you had people like Paddy Boyland and Mark Douglas bigging up the amount of work to be done as "unprecedented' (not at all, really). Talk like that creates it's own expectations. It seems the US tour might be the next fork...

We hope the business we've done so far has been good. Realistically not many people would have said re-signing Keane and Coleman and paying £4m for a back up keeper was us doing good business if you'd asked them 6 weeks ago, nor would they have...

I agree about not just getting people in for the sake of it, although I would say the chances of us doing that significantly increase the later it gets and that's part of what people are concerned about. There is an understandable concern that if...

I refer to this as INEOS syndrome.

Not every new signing will be thrown in, but it would be nice to have the option. I think it's beneficial to get people in early if you can, and games like tonight can feel like a bit of a waste of time when you end up playing a load of lads who...

Yes i agree, a right back, right winger and a quality central midfielder transforms that team. But even if we brought them in, most teams don't throw players in on the first day

I doubt it. My guess would be he's content to stay in a PL environment with the money, security, facilities etc that go with it rather than drop down a level and play more but without the benefits. It's all pretty normal as far as I can see...

Not sure what's happened over the last couple of days that has seemingly made a load of people do a massive about turn and decide that actually we've done loads and the squad is actually great anyway so doesn't really need much doing to it. Maybe...

But that isn't even a contradiction, in fact it just strengthens what i'm saying. The squad we had/have isn't the worst collection of players there's ever been and only good enough for league 2, but it's - in my opinion, obviously - probably a...

Everybody knows that though don't they? We're a PL team, we know that we have a team who are theoretically capable of being competitive in any given game, because we haven't all completely lost our memory. People are just hoping that we improve...

I would imagine just the same as anyone really. He’s been given the opportunity to make a move to a bigger club with better facilities where he’ll probably get paid more and get a longer contract. It’s really not in any way a strange move for him...

He'll be on more wages. Could try his luck as first choice in championship for considerably less. But it's a short career and this contract will probably set him up for life.

I bet we offer 10p and a curly wurly eh lads! Hahaha HA HA HA
