GENTLEMAN

He lives above a sweet shop (in a non-uncle Jimmy Leeds way), and is oft found perusing the reductions in the local Morrisons in his Leeds tracksuit.

I think Potter would be great for England. Small thing but compare Potter’s to Southgate’s ‘the coaches voice’ tactical breakdowns.

Is that more or less than the McGinn tax?

No

Maybe with more options in the squad, differing formations will be considered. Smith strikes me as the type who would want to embed a new formation in preseason.

Moto’s view from the Holte…

I do wonder why people are struggling to grasp this.

Just got in and heard of this. Was it definitely cardiac arrest as being suggested here (administration of CPR)?

What do you think about the JWP rumours?

According to Gregg Evans, when Jack is with his dad pregame they play Atomic by Blondie to get Jack pumped up. Could there be a terrace chant in this. ...Oh your hair is beautiful

Same agent (or rather agency) as Jack.

This windows Mckennie...

I prefer Camavinga's hair.

Beat him before he even put the ball down.

Leap?

Didn’t he also score 20 goals in Belgium on loan last season too?

It’s crazy the amount of value that Leicester seem to be extracting.

I deffo get that vibe too. It seems the main draw is like a band of brothers, that you’re playing with this collection of players and coach. When they win a trophy, they turn inward and celebrate with each other. The Etihad doesn’t help. Imagine you could deploy this coaching team, this group of players, this footballing hierarchy to the other side of Europe and it would not change the feeling. The fact that it is at Manchester City is irrelevant. I think City supporters feel this emptiness too. I know City supporters that are pretty apathetic now, where once they were blood and thunder in the Division 2 playoff. I also think this is why they feel victimised and search out any criticism. They want to feel something. The whole psychology of supporting the club has shifted upside down and it does not feel right. Listen, I have lived in Manchester pretty much my whole life and I really appreciate how the Abu Dhabi United group have regenerated and invested in east Manchester. Yet it all feels ‘soulless’ and inorganic.

Koopmeiners being strongly linked with Atalanta for 18 million euros. Surely we should be all over that @paul514

But faceless agent villa said so though.

About to pull another with Boubakary Soumare.

Absolutely masterful! Well played Sir!

I think there are similarities in our transfer of Barry to City. Who, at that point were our ‘rivals’, although the writing was on the wall. That said, Barry did kick up a fuss, professing a want to play CL football and thought that it was more likely with City. No such rumblings from JWP. It seems that if it was to come to pass it would be Southampton that were ‘entertaining’ it, in a bid to create revenue to reinvest in other parts of the squad.

Perhaps... Article from 2020 Plus global pandemic since then...

Hardly a shambles though. That implies the journo is just making up a number transfer rumours. From what I know, Doyle does not. He has done a few in depth interview pieces: Smith, Konsa and Luiz .
