Should be all over Werner if hes available for the right money. People have been happy with the Broja signing when hes actually done next to nowt in his career. Werner has a great goalscoring record. Often people just see his spell at Spurs and 2nd period at Leipzig and decide hes pants, whereas at ...

Embarrassing and taken the sting out of the game when we're on top

Looks a shite source which is a shame cos he's absolutely class.

If we're shopping at Monaco I'd sooner be going all in on Biereth, exactly what we need

The Inn Place in the Old Town. Have all the games on and Jo will likely be supporting us as it's the West Ham supporters club bar for the island!

First saw him live in Germany playing for Leverkusen against Bayern. He played off Steffan Kießling and absolutely tore them a new one, and despite being on the losing side, (most teams were back then, when even Kroos had to settle for a place on the bench!) He was best player on the pitch!

It’s not a link but I think Broja at Chelsea would be worth a punt on, either perm or loan with option

I don't get the understand the love Broja gets and the subsequent valuations. He hardly ever plays and rarely scores when he does

That Burnley away kit is awful IMO. No creativity in the design at all.

I like it, nice and simple, nothing extravagant. Either Clarets or blue shorts ideal dependant on opposition would be good

ClaretFelix

It's painful. There's a clamour for equal recognition and commercial aspects of the women's game, but these ladies her tonight are really struggling to strike the ball. They're supposed to be professionals after all

Off to Trogir outside Split in a couple of weeks. Looks a lovely quiet place which suits me down to the ground but have hire car so likely to wander about a bit

I second the BMW museum too, and from memory, I think it's free? The old Olypiastadion is across the road, and when I went, albeit a few years ago now, they were trialling the Zipline from the floodlights across the pitch. If you look closely, you my just locate my arsehole that dropped when I stepp...

Have Lyon got any decent players we could buy? Absolutely, some good young players who would, I imagine, be setting their sights higher than us, such as Thiago Almada and Malik Fofana, whilst also having Mikautadze and Maitland-Niles whom we were allegedly after a couple of years ago. Plenty of exp...

I'd like us to be looking at Lathe Lath from Atlanta, I think he would be a perfect addition.

Not for the amount they'd want! They only signed him in Jan for about £20million!

I wouldn't mind a punt on Ricardo Pepi from PSV.
22 years old, decent record and has a mix of physicality and pace

I know nothing about him apart from him being quite a good keeper a few years ago on Football Manager!

Links to 2 keepers now suggests the battle for Traffords signature is still on

ClaretFelix

Anybody think Kyogo Furuhashi would be a decent shout? Plenty of pace and the type of fox in the box we've lacked for some time. Out of favour at Rennes with no goals and likely affordable but has shown previously he knows where the goal is. Probably falls in the bracket that if we go down he would ...

Just a quick heads up, Burnley Road is shut travelling from Rawtenstall just after the Cravern Heifer(Kasmir), car on it roof and all emergency service in attendance.
Hope everyone is ok. Doubt it will be open soon

It's reopened now

ClaretFelix

I don't think he's a massive miss, he's a striker that doesn't score goals. Yes he can run the channels, but most of the time it leads to very little.
That said, i hope his injury isn't too serious though, can be a long lay off with shoulders as they're always susceptible to going again

Was having some buffering on my stream of our game yesterday so had to stick it on the tablet. I had Leeds on the telly and Swansea looked to rattle them. They attacked with pace down either flank and really had Leeds in trouble at times. Leeds seem to throw so many men forward every time who don't ...

ClaretFelix

I haven't heard a thing, have no inside knowledge, but I'm pretty grown up and adult enough to conclude there is something more to it than just refusing to play. The chants and constant barracking are quite frankly embarrassing and clearly are being picked up on by Tresor himself. It's easy to hide ...

I've been pleasantly surprised with Laurent, I had zero expectations of him as I knew nothing about him prior to his arrival. He has had some very effective games for us, and some very quiet ones, like last night. Personally, I would use him in a tight 3 against your better sides, to utilise his hei...

I work in retail and the police are not interested, they just tell you to send in footage and nothing happens. And this depends on whether the footage is actually sent in, (quite a lot isnt) is of sufficient enough quality to make an identification of the offender (a hell of a lot isnt - certainly ...

What good would that do? The police still wouldn't turn up. Yes they would. But as everybody knows, they are being stretched even more and all deployments from calls for service are assessed on current risk posed. Just because they don't always come out on blue lights every time, doesn't mean they ...

It was to prevent a bottleneck on the narrow Lowthorpe Road with potential flashpoints with both sets of fans. By getting our fans out via Bill Shankley Crescent allowed for a natural filter and more space whilst actually being the shorter route out towards Sainsbury's. If there had been a fracas on...

I'll go against the grain a little in that I can appreciate a structured set up, a solid defensive Base and defending from the front. However, I feel the players themselves need to take more responsibility for the often negative way we set up in games, notably when in possession. It shouldnt take a ...

ClaretFelix

A bitter sweet game for me. We've stopped the top scorers in the league from notching in both games, with only really one shot of concern for Trafford. The defensive record continues. I understand Parkers tactics without the ball and it was textbook. Rigid framework, pressing at the right times, wit...

Yep and I acknowledged that over on the player ratings thread. I was referring to the one where the full back slips and he had all the time in the world to pick someone out or take the ball in. He put a pretty harmless ball into the goalkeeper’s midriff instead and looked upset with himself. Those ...

10:00 just after Tresor plays the ball, I don't think I've ever seen a professional footballer looking less interested in getting into the box. He might as well have sat down and pulled out a book. Strange that he made himself available if there is a problem, and you can't question his ability. htt...

I'd see what CJER could do sitting in front of a back 4. Sky's the limit for me as the new Rodri.

No, let's just leave him where he is. Where he has played at youth and U23 level has no bearing on where he should be playing now.
He's performing brilliantly at CB, no need to muddy the waters

Not sure if Watford were poor or we just made them look that way? A glance at the table suggests it could be the latter. By far our best performance all season.

Likely Leeds fans will kick off, just heard there's no Internet for the tills and as the club are now cashless inside the ground, they aren't able to sell anything!! When there's 7000 thirsty Yorkshire men in town, it could lead to a bit of a problem!!

Still no sign of the Great Wall being finished. Not even any workers there some days. Few hundred yards is stretching it a bit!

Vitinho was a lot better footballer than some on here gave him credit for. Out of all the players we sold in the summer he’s possibly the one that this team is missing the most.

More than likely a lot harder to beat than his previous incumbent, which is half the battle

Yes, they did. Whilst acknowledging he was manager when they were promtoed, they said it was in spite of him, not because of him.

Sounds like you're saying he's a lucky manager then?? I'll take that
