Different circumstances I guess.
We'd been so close and Bloom wanted to keep the same squad together for another tilt at promotion and DS was quite a niche DM player without a plethora of equally good alternative options in his position. Who knows, maybe Bloom also considered the Burnley offer...
Well I beg to differ HKFC, he's been good at LB,LWB and CB. He has also moved the ball a bit quicker out of defence which has corresponded with an uptick in performances, and isnt afraid to run with it, similar to Webster.
I really dont think he's any less versatile than Veltman and he's better...
I dont think they are personally. Last season or the season before, he was a lot more inconsistent. But this season, we've all seen it with our own eyes, he has been brilliant, possibly our player of the season, and for the suggestions on here that Dunk wouldnt walk back in with Burns form says...
The club going to winter sunshine training camp was a football decision, we've done it before. Where they went was the commerical decision.
Its crazy to think, that the booking, flights, accomodation decisions would then fall on the first team coach. Clearly they don't. It will be the execs...
No idea what gave you that impression? They also loaned in Matt Targett from Villa (in addition to Burn and Wood from other PL clubs)
The Lingard thing looks a lot more strategic imho.... Man U were already messing around before the Greenwood alleged incidents became public, in demanding all...
That is it though in a nutshell, it is for the authorities and governing bodies who make the rules on ownership to decide who is and who isnt fit to run football clubs. It is to them, any ire should be directed if people think certain parties are not fit or if they believe rules should be...
Your succinct and tongue in cheek post, does also raise an interesting point for all those sanctimonious angels attacking Howe, Chris Wood or even BDB for "taking blood money from Saudia"
Should Bloom now be donating that 13m rather than keeping it? seeing after all as its source if from the...
Of course not, it wont just be the pull of playing for your boyhood club either, as strong as an attraction that must be.
Both he and his Mrs are from the area and he mentioned both their parents still live there. So possibly with both sets of parents at or pushing retirement age, other family...
Sun saying it's done. No one else says it is including their argus equivalent, the chronicle..Other journos including this one saying not done.
Looks like it's not done or at least not announced. Said personal terms agreed ages ago, Albion agreed fee, did medical hours ago. Who knows wtf is...
Claims of just 2 1/2 years for Burn?

Not great tbh when he already has 18 months left here. I reckon he wouldve got...
