    Does Wharton's injury record concern anyone? It feels like if we want Fernandes we can get it done more easily.

    As the case may be, I was just pointing out that you said - "If the response to disagreement is to label, shame, or shout people down, it's less "marketplace of ideas" and more "Mean Girls with a postgraduate degree" I just thought it was quite funny because, well, you engaged in a bit of...

    I mean, speaking from the outside, it seemed they were just very honest about what they thought of you and your opinion. If anything, it lacked any political correctness and was hammer-blunt. At least you know where you stand with them, and don't have to pfaff about. The irony of this...

    I will speak for myself. I have heard of the game but never gone close to it in my life. I use my own eyes and my own personal judgement with players, couldn't begin to tell you about FM or FIFA or any of that gonads. Besides watching it, the only other football games I participate in involve...

    Yes. All of them are upgradable. The question I was answering was which young players I'd be prepared to keep. Considering at this point we have other option on the left who is fit, I would absolutely keep Tel for the squad. If we get Savinho, I would still keep Tel and once Odobert is fit, then...

    Indeed. I think it is fair to say RDZ was in a very different situation and did not feel he could use youth to bail us out (I'd say he was right). Why is it so hard for Frankanistas to accept he was not everything it said on the tin and also handled some stuff very badly, especially when...

    Riz Ahmed's BAIT is brilliant. A real eye-opener. He is a great writer as well as actor, and the stories he tells here are exceptionally insightful as to what it is to be a Pakistani muslim in 2026 for those of us who are not. A brave, entertaining, funny and also sad piece of work.

    I see that the 'friendly communicator' showed another side with this huge talent. And for being a great player developer, rather than guide him and nuture his natural skillset, he shoehorned him into that godawful 'style' he was trying to 'perfect'. Damage done!

    Sorry? The question doesn't make sense to me. I do have a choice. Yes. I can either sit here and grumble about something which doesn't check all my boxes, or take the overview that overall, RDZ is showing an enormous amount of ambition and being backed. I would be OK with all except Gray and...

    Are you suggesting that we should just stay away from any player represented by Mendes? I think that is unrealistic.

    We shall see. When it comes to THFC I generally try to look ahead and afford benefit of doubt wherever possible. I did with Daniel and transfers for 25 years! I do it with the club generally because I am a supporter/fan. Realistically, if we got one of them it would signal a fine signing. Two...

    Thing is though mate, it's clear we're not doing that. Gallagher's got given the 8, it looks like we will close out one -if not both- the Tonali and Fernandes deals, so Lucas has seen the writing on the wall and wants a fresh start elsewhere. Makes a lot of sense, sad as it is.

    I am not sure we can stand in the way of Bergvall TBH. He deserves more than being kept around to rotate in a minimal-game season, and it's clear that whether we agree or not, RDZ does not see him as an important ingredient. I think Gray will be fighting hard in the midfield mix too. I take your...

    And this is exactly the wheel we're on right now. The one we've yet to try. The 'buy big and proven' along with a few youth players. Fernandes would tick both boxes at 21 FWIW. van Hecke just turned 26. Tonali just turned 26. Gapko just turned 27 (if we're going for him). Kudus will be 26 in...

    If we got 100 million combined for them (50 mill each) that'd be insane business. Not necessarily you, but there are people who have spent the last two seasons telling us how brick the squad is and that it is a 'double 17th' squad which shows us how 'brick' the players are, yet now we might be...
