I'm sure someone has weighed up the pros and cons of partnering with an organisation that so many people find to be morally objectionable but it will be interesting to see how this plays out. That maybe true but if you just stick to football and your own interests, there is no better place . Some o...

Can see Brewster going to Boro. Their new manager Rob Edwards likes playing with a big No 9, and might get the best out of him

He is 5ft 10.

Is that classed as a big No 9 ?

So they were thrown to the Wolves because they were picked to play ? Exactly. I've always thought that's how young players get there chance. They are thrown into the team sometimes and it's a case of sink or swim. You will never know how those players will perform at our first team level until you ...

No idea why VK brought him in. We didn’t need him at the time. He’s not even championship standard. Had 2 loans at Millwall and Plymouth and ended up on the bench at both after playing first few games. Tbh I’m not sure he’s a division one player but it isn’t going to matter as I doubt anyone will t...

Always amusing isn’t it. Some people have zero understanding of how good you have to be just to be a professional footballer, never mind playing in the top two divisions of this country.

Even at National League or semi pro level. It's full of players who have come through pro academies.

It’s a valid point but, looking back now, VK’s man management left a hell of a lot to be desired.

I’d back Parker to do better in that regard, but it will be interesting to see how he knits it all together.

In hindsight, I also think Kompany's 2 pre seasons didn't do us any help.

Just a small point, you may have missed a word. Jersey is not part of the UK and is not represented in the UK Parliament.

That's spot on.
Jersey is not part of the UK. It's a crown dependency and self governing. The UK is just responsible for it's defence and international relations.

Ben was released

I think the poster may be referring to the situation a few years prior when Mee wasn't signing a contract and was waiting for better offers to come his way.
We then signed Ben Gibson but Mee changed his mind and signed a new contract with Burnley?

Claretfanatic1982

Looks like he has departed, but the fact he has not come out and said a final farewell and thanks to his team mates and supporters would seem a little out of character for the Josh we know and like. I say departed, because as team captain you would expect him to be at our pre-season from day one, a...

Claretfanatic1982

What is actually confusing me is the video that was released a few weeks back where Josh intimated he was waiting and telling AP to get it sorted. Has AP not tried hard enough or is Josh asking for too much money?

Claretfanatic1982

No issues from me . Good luck to the lad with whatever he chooses.
He signed 2 contracts with us - 5 1/2 seasons service. The club did not accept any offers in this period ( that's if there was ever any offered)

Happy with this , even though I feel it's just going to be for the vibes and experience in the changing room. You need these characters in the squad, even if they don't play much.

I don't care if our conceded column was minus 20. Nothing excuses the absolutely nonsensical utter non-threat we posed from all but a couple in a full seasons free kicks and corners.

It did cost around that figure and that was some years ago now

It was . Opened in September 2012 with an initial cost of £30m. Subsequent improvements have brought the total cost up to £50m.

It says we got a £49m parachute payment last season. I was under the impression that PP only start getting paid if you are unsuccessful in promotion in Y1 post relegation?

Too many people keen to call fellow Clarets idiots.

Does it matter if they are fellow Clarets?

If my friends and family act like idiots, the get called out for being an idiot.

If they don't want calling out , they just need to stop behaving like idiots. Simple!

The issue is thinking that you're closer than ever but never really meeting up with anyone - I see this a heck of a lot and virtual messaging simply isn't a replacement for meeting up in person.

That (for me at least) is the biggest problem with 'Social Media' as a whole.

Cheers Tony, I ask because I've seen it suggested City are due a cut of any " fee "

I think they are due a cut of any profit.
Will there be any profit with the paltry £200k that we are likely to receive?

How much compensation did we originally pay Man City?

He missed out on a loan move to the PSV reserves (would it have been beneficial, I don't know) due to the paperwork not being submitted in time I think.

Wasn't it a tackle from Mee that fractured Gomez's leg that left Klopp moaning (a great tackle as well)

Exactly. If he didn't play for us people would be happy with a 26 year old with premier league experience who can score. That's probably correct but he did play for us and he couldn't wait to leave after just one seasons service . He was part of the team that got us relegated but didn't want to hel...
