He was an outstanding prospect at Man Utd, and had two indifferent spells on loan. Suspect McKenna at Ipswich would have known him from Man Utd. Think he is the type of prospect you get to train with the club and offer him a contract dependent on how he fares in pre season and in friendlies. He wou...

CJER was treated awfully by Kompany who was empowered by the club. Thankfully that problem took itself away, but we continue to see the damage his ego has caused. Who should Kompany have dropped during our promotion season of 2022/23 . Guaranteed, you would be on here saying Kompany treated the dro...

It's not just himself. Trafford is also linked to this. They have the same agent. To which one of, is a family member. The agent was not happy with the treatment of either Trafford or Egan Riley by Vincent Kompany and the club as a whole. I think the feeling was that Trafford was hung out to dry an...

CJ is unsure, still a bit miffed that club didn't want him when Kompany in charge, maybe that's changed now. Surely CJ is clever enough to understand it's down to the manager and not the club who plays. Unless you are saying he was expecting to see Alan Pace in the changing room daily to demand tha...

Where are you finding a circa 6ft paper bag? Why is it wet? Why does he need to punch his way out of it? Is the top tied or could he not just tip the bag and crawl out the top? This reminds me of a lad I went through Basic Army training with. His name was Steve Tuckett. He was a former professional...

This is factually inaccurate. Burnley bought promotion in 2009 and were placed under a transfer embargo for spending more on players than we could afford. Every season since that season we have benefitted from Premier League money/parachute payments. This whole thread is weird, i'd much rather cele...

I think it's only been a criminal offence since 1991. But has really only been enforced stringently in the last 3 or 4 years. I think Row x has a point though.

I know they don't like Parker but their latest video takes the biscuit. What a bizarre agenda they have against him.

Would it? Moneyball, in the film and book, was about finding obscure talent, for cheap, that others might overlook because of a certain deficiency. We paid £14-19m for Trafford, who had just won the Euros and played for Man City, I don’t see it. A strategy of buying younger players to develop and s...

Would Spurs be entitled to anything, as Sporting didn't buy him directly from them? I think Brentford tucked the Bastards up in a similar way when Raya went to Arsenal.

“Edwards has signed for Burnley. That deal was probably done in a way to cut Tottenham out of their 35 per cent sell-on clause. Therefore, they will be frustrated about that scenario.

Do you honestly believe getting promoted with one of the most valuable squads in the league is miraculous.

That should be the bare minimum.

I think we also went for BV before we got Muric.
Didn't Muric have a random signing announcement video with Bart Simpson. It came across like the media team made it for BV then couldn't be bothered to make a new one for Muric

It’s not fanciful to suggest Berge would stay, he did it at sheff united but the point is to replace quality with with quantity, for how good Laurent has been for us, in these tight 0-0 games we don’t have anyone in the middle of the pitch who can play a killer pass.

I was surprised the club stopped him going to the Paris Olympics. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it felt harsh. But on the pitch at least he hasn't sulked and has consistently looked his customary colossal and cool. No reason to think he's sulked off it by the way! Shocked there's been no links...

It's not a different coach. Eliot Tybebo is the set piece coach- attacking and defending.

Hannibal may be young but this is how he has played for most of his career. He had a reputation as a player who played very, very close to the edge and could be a loose cannon.

Should add that even the club social media team made a big song and dance about Muric returning to the starting line up, so you can’t really blame fans for chanting his name when he did come back in.

It’s stage 6 which is day 7, but only if exception criteria met which is a normal SCAT6 reading within 48hrs

So it doesn't say - if it's confirmed that the player did not have concussion at the time of the substitution, they still have to follow the 7 day return.

Doesn’t matter if proved he wasn’t, protocol is still can’t play for 7 days.

Raconteur

The sub was a concussion sub.

Parker said it was suspected after the game.

If we have stated it wasn't concussion after spending time with the doctor and medical team, does the 7 days still have to be followed?

I haven't got a clue.

Raconteur

Surely the 7 day waiting period is only followed if the concussion is confirmed?

Raconteur

But we made substitutions over 4 windows, when you are only permitted 3, unless one is due to a concussion If we hadn’t made the last minute one of Worrall for Luca there wouldn’t be an issue. If Sarmiento features on Saturday, we will have questions to answer Does the club have to confirm that it ...
