Lanolin's latest activity

I've already replied to you once this morning agreeing with this exact point? Do you ever read posts in context or do you just start bashing away at the keyboard straight away? That post was in reply to someone asking what's wrong with him and...

I'm just not sure he's that good. He's good, and as long as he's fit he could be an excellent signing for us, but it feels like people are elevating him to a level that he's never really been at. He didn't make the grade at City and Juve (who are...

I don’t disagree, just saying that doesn’t make him a huge marquee signing in itself. A marquee signing for a club like us is someone that you don’t expect us to be able attract. Luiz is a very good player and I’d be very pleased if we signed...

He wouldn’t really. He could potentially be a very good signing, but really not a huge marquee signing. He’s a 27 year old with 18 caps and no medals, he’s not exactly going to have the whole world sitting up to take notice if he signs. I’m not...

Very much feel for the fans. What kind of message does it give to the fans, that the owners didnt back the team to win the cup?

I feel for Palace fans but not the club, they knew full well what they were required to do if they wanted to play in Europe and made a conscious decision not to do it. They can't cry about it now. I say I feel for the fans, but to be fair I don't...

He's got two years left on his WHam contract, he's not going to sign here for less money and a shorter contract length. Why on earth would he?

He's only got 10 league goals once in 5 seasons here, and it was his first season. Saying he gets you at least 10 seems like a bit of stretch I won't lie.

Soucek coming in now, on the back of the likes of Keane and Coleman being re-signed and the lack of exciting additions we were hoping for, would be a quite concerning development and make me question just what we're actually aiming to achieve...

It might be bait but he's not wrong. RB has been a long-standing issue for us and I can't fathom us not addressing it again. But, you know, Everton.

Barry will be going straight into the first team though at least and has over 100 pro games under his belt. It's not quite like Chermiti or even Kean who had a handful of appearances before coming here. Theoretically if Barry fails here it will...

I mean he’s been injured for over a year, not sure what the club were supposed to do about that unless you think they’ve knobbled their (allegedly) €15m asset

These stories are always the same, a team gets vaguely linked with a player once and then in fans heads it becomes 'everything was agreed, he was desperate to come, it fell through because the manager/DoF/chairman we don't like messed it up'.

There was a short period where wearing the new kit at the end of the season was a thing for some reason. I think it stopped because everyone went from changing every 2 years to every year so it became a bit much to not even do a full season in...
