Encouraging snippet I came across on a Bluesky thread...
"... a Blue acquaintance bumped into Baines at Glastonbury and was told "you won't be disappointed" with regard to signings.
There you go, ITK as f---, that's me"
Make of that what you will 👍🏻
That's what I thought.... Prem fullbacks would kick the bejeezus out of him and PL refs would give him no protection at all if he played for us. Got to get faster and bigger than him, I'd say.
This makes total sense. Moyes won't have the only say in transfers, but he should absolutely have the last say before recommendations go to Kinnear to approve finances and Hammond to negotiate the terms.
Moyes is notorious for interrogating players motives and backgrounds, and if he is not...
The counter-argument is that expensive tripe like Harrison playing every week for two years is what *kept* us toiling at the bottom...
Just saying, no offence meant.
He's crap WHEN he's fat.
But there have been periods where he has got himself fit and in good shape and he is a very capable striker.
But he's mostly been fat and crap, so there's that.
Blue frontier podcast (previously American Toffee podcast) recommended this guy Jashwari amongst others... Moves and plays like a blend of Gareth Barry, Declan Rice and David Unsworth ... Impressive
If signing Coufal was the price of waiting a year for a transformatively good right back next summer, I'm OK with seeing O'Brien there, backed up by Garner, Patterson if required 👍🏻
I'd agree. But we wouldn't be buying Grealish, just renting him for a bit...
As for wages... good players cost high wages, sooner or later. If we want a top six team we need a top 6 wage bill.
Not overnight, but eventually. 👍🏻
To tune of "I love you baby"...
