A story we can all relate to

It`s worse than that, we`re in the Kebab shop post club, trying to pull in there.

Have had success in there a few times actually. Usually over a shared love of dipping chips into garlic mayo.

Where - asking for a freind

At a wedding in Chester…hard to repeat

10 minutes after o'Rourke?

Im convinced hes doesnt know half of what he says he does.

Ignore then mate. All about being right sometimes rather than first.

Bakayoko and Kubo, do we have real interest?

 

[The Bobble]

You can tell the ones who part with £2 they generally yell “bobble at the back post “when he posts something a reliable
Journo has earlier

Jealousy is an awful trait mate. You must be green with envy with how long you have posted a weird narrative. After all this time attacking me, just accept and come to terms I know what I’m talking about. Didn’t see one journo link Kubo with Everton until I named him of a player on interest. Enjoy the summer

I remember an interview a few years ago with super agent Jonathan Barnett who truly was a chase the money guy at heart. Even he talked about how often player perspectives change as they grow older and more settled. When they are younger in the full flush of ambition it is money and the chance to win trophies. Later that can be balanced by wanting a stable life. Good agents understand this and give their players options.

Tete is an example of a valued but journeyman PL guy who will never be a star but with a wife and kids settled in London with friends and school all in place. His agent gave him a choice of more money with us and leveraged Fulham closer to our offer giving the player an improved option to stay. Tete chose family stability. Most of us should be able to relate to that.

If we were closer to reaching Europe or winning trophies he might have chosen differently. We have to take steps forward on the pitch to improve our attractiveness but to do that we need to attract players. Easier to do that with championship or overseas players seeking their foothold in the PL than with PL pros with stable and settled domestic situations.

And some will go and some will stay. It would be foolish to ever regret getting some of the best years out of Arteta, the very best years of Cahill, Pienaar and the likes of Yobo, to a lesser extent. Years previously we took a punt on Joe Parkinson and players of his ilk too. I likr most love a good proven quality sugning like theYak, Andy Johnson etc who very quickly became fan favourites. The others mentioned though, either made a career with us or unlocked their potential and Reignited their careers. With the exception. Of 05/06, 2004 to 2011 was some of my more enjoyable tines watching us, even though we naturally didn't win anything. We need a balance of a few ££s spent mixed with hungry players. Different era bot Howard's team he assembled slowly but surely after 1981. How mamy of those players would we choose without the knowledge of just how good they proved to be?

Do you think we have a genuine interest, and a real chance in Kubo?

 

[toffeeblue9]

A complete game changer if we get him.

Yeah, he's a huge upgrade but it would also necessitate a good attacking right back, as Kubo does his best work cutting in from the right

 

[FinchFarmBlue]

Crazy economics isn’t it?! They buy players for half that price, meaning he won’t get in the team, but expect to get 100 million!

I think they've hoodwinked the Premier League and Chelsea are actually an ESports Team and these transfer values come out of EA Sports and not the real world.
