Lanolin's latest activity

The first sentence is right, but I think it's more just a convenient excuse for the club to use rather than a genuine issue with the players.

In a way players always were mercenaries. Only the locally born players really played for the shirt . But players don’t move only for money ( and let’s be honest which of us doesn’t or wouldn’t change jobs for a better pay packet) they also move...

I feel like the solution to Barry being too young and too raw probably isn't to sign his younger, rawer, understudy.

There was loads of posters on here saying the stadium would attract a higher standard of player, it was weird.

It's why the argument that our new stadium would somehow attract new players was bunkum.

We definitely need some players who can make an impact now, particularly on our right side. Whilst I feel sorry for Moyes to some degree, the transfer committee idea is clearly a bad one, he hasn't helped himself, however, with some of his public...

It's easy - what you do is layout the kinda investment to the players the team is doing, unless they're retarded they will see if the clubs ambitions are there. Can argue though that having in the year 2025 then having Moyes as the manager...

That's what i'm saying really. There's nothing new or strange about us not being able to attract players who are also wanted by the very biggest clubs, that's just the way it works and isn't an excuse for not bringing players in - the same thing...

Oh come on man don't be so facetious. We've been in negotiations with Southampton for three weeks for Dibling now with no resolution (this is for one of our main targets who actually wants to join us btw), which is an excessive amount of time to...

As I've said a few times, that's just a completely different thing. The suggestion is that Fofana has been led to believe there are serious big hitters interested in him and so he's willing to wait for them. That's not a new thing or something...

Well there's a few things to say about that. Firstly, let's not pretend that we usually just uncritically swallow anything a manager says in a press conference and accept that it's an indisputable fact. Moyes obviously has a skin in this game...

Speaking of Chelsea. It is clear now they have developed a model of buying young players and selling them on for a profit very quickly. They have sold a player today, made 14m profit on him and he only played once in the twelve months he spent...

If you honestly think the biggest differentiator between us and Chelsea is that they're going to be in Europe this season then I don't really know what to say. Players want to play in the Champions League for the biggest clubs, everybody knows...

I mean, I could listen to Internet conspiracy cranks such as yourself on this - because you're directly plugged into the truth grid, after all - but I think on balance I'll go with the manager of the team.

Who's talking about a conspiracy?! I didn't listen to the press conference so he may have explicitly said it but just to be clear the original quote you replied to didn't even mention Europe, you just said it was obvious that's what he meant. My...
