    Don't disagree beyond I'd rather keep a full back as cover for full backs rather than shoe horn (despite Rob's convictions that it is the modern thing) a CM into it just to give them game time. Gray needs a meaningful loan if he isn't going to get game time in the middle of the park.

    Maybe a) he doesn't want to be just a back up & b) maybe he wants to spend time with his family in Portugal. neither are a reflection of whether we are a 'big' club or not.

    If you get the right bid for any player you take it. This is by definition what the right bid. It is just higher for some players than their market value might suggest. I haven't seen any of the alleged attitude issue anymore than I see it from lots of players. I think he is a valuable squad...

    Again such selective 'fact' picking. Spence coming off a Championship Young Player of the Year Award from promotion winning Forest was thrown under the bus by Conte in his power struggles as an 'investment in the future' and not one of his signings. Nothing Spence could have done to change...

    Almost everyone/everything improved after the hydration break. Correlation does not equal causation. Lots of things changed in the end section of the game. Perhaps removing Rice from the central midfield so he couldn't slow the game down was key????

    Almost as if the media have an agenda. You telling me that Tuchel wasn't shouting instructions at other players? For some reason they aren't being shown as much.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    The problem looks to be that tactically Tommy Tickle has decided to use two wide men and play through them rather than anything really through the middle. Kane has been told to be more a target man than dropping deep. If he dropped deep he would fill a similar space to Bellingham and actually...

    yeah I get that but Premier league unproven 20 year with 2 years on their contract and only 50 top class games costing more than a 100 game premiership 'veteran' with 1 year left and we are the ones who did the bad deal?

    Possibly should be in the What the Heck thread but just seen Chelsea have signed a 21 year old defender for £47 million who has played 90 games in his career, Liverpool completed the £60 million signing of a 20 year old defender with 50 meaningful matches. Neither have played in the EPL before...

    But the centre has shifted considerably to the right in the last 50 years and anything that would have been centrist is now 'fringe'.

    I was being somewhat tongue in cheek but there is a serious point that anything between £60 and £90 million is serious but not surprising money these days (ridiculous though it is). £3.5 million would inflate to about £10 million these days (rough google estimate) and you wouldn't expect...

    But it wasa british record at the time so the equivalent of £110 million now. So Fernandes is a bargain!!!!

    No, they are still entitled to 28 days 'holiday' as it does not supersede UK employment law. The employer gets to choose when those days are taken though, so a day off training after a match may presumably count.
