Interesting, especially re. Cashin. Maybe the club knows best after all and 17 mins isn't really the meaningful a sample size to write the lad off?
We certainly seem to be varying up our defensive option though, which is fantastic news. Maybe we'll score a header from a corner this season after...
Well let's be honest, he was unlikely to make it at Chelsea and there's no guarantees he would have made it here either but he did seem like a real talent. IIRC he went there around the time they signed Cucurella. Good luck overhauling a newly signed, £65m left back.
Still, at least he's got a...
The armband is irrelevant to me. We've been carefully assembling a squad of leaders.
Dunk will rightly stay club captain, with Webster and Welbeck as deputies, but Veltman, JPvH and even Milner and Steele will still take responsibility as leaders on and off the pitch.
Absolutely. It's a fun diversion, but there's no way in hell we're playing in Europe next season at the expense of our arch rivals because of an administrative oversight.
It would be far too funny.
Be interesting to see where he goes. Other than Newcastle, there doesn't seem to be masses of interest. Can they afford him? Maybe, maybe not.
The risk is that it doesn't come about and suddenly he's stuck out in Saudi, earning millions, but watching his career slowly dwindle and die at 23.
I think it's in response to the Tories calling them slow rather than whataboutery.
The thing is, this shouldn't be used as a political tool by any side. Yes, the far right have weaponised it, but that's irrelevant. It's on everyone to fix it
Who says we wouldn't have signed these players under RDZ? They weren't signed for Hürzeler, they were signed because they were fantastic players, available at a price we were willing to pay.
The question is whether RDZ would have wanted them.
I find it interesting how dismissive people can be of the injury. A toe is quite an important part of a footballer's foot.
It'd be great to get him back, I have a vivid memory of watching him at the Euros for Turkey and him being insanely good. I was blown away we managed to sign him
Sorry, I'm confused. He's been offered a playing deal as a player. Why do we need people to clarify that a player signing a new playing contract is in fact a player?
