The advantage we have being in the league at the top of the tree is that we can afford to delegate a lot of the hard work to clubs across the continent.
It's far easier to sign from 70 or 80 clubs across Europe on the rung below us, because...
Yea spot on.
Had we signed Barry last season, no way would have have got the game time he needed to develop his game and reputation, no chance.
Villareal have taken that chace, and should reap the rewards of a larger fee, thats surely how it...

🤣 🤣 🤣 ;)
Not sure how many Italian Lazio fans will travel over, with all the turmoil going on with them at the moment....transfer ban, most players for sale, terrible president.
Although they do have a very good core and one of the best away...
I'm sure the charms of the Royal Dyche will warm the cockles of their hearts...assuming the locals don't freak out at the sight of some foreigners first, mind...
