  1. If a Premier League club wanted him he would have been 10-15m more. It's a bit of a glorified loan for him really. I expect him to be back in the prem after a couple of seasons.
  2. We didn't beat this lot when we were in the Championship did we?
  3. Random player wants to be sold, linked with team A + Aston Villa. Then moves to a completely different club or signs a new contract at current club. Rinse and repeat. Utter horseshit.
  4. 2011- Signing Bent and then selling Young in the summer as the guy to put the crosses in 2009- Signing Emile Heskey rather than a quality forward to fire us to a Champions League spot 2005-Signing Milan Baros and the selling Nobby Solano as the guy to put the crosses in.... And so on and so forth. As it was ever thus. Even as a kid who wasn't a die hard fan at the time I felt somewhat underwhelmed when reading on teletext that we had signed John Fashanu. Agwoohar.
  5. I am getting to the stage that I will be surprised if we signed anyone even on loan.
  6. Er no. He was on borderline premier league wages when we signed him about 25K a week I believe. Since then he has had a contract extension so most be on at least 30K+ a week. Most championship players are on 10 grand or less a week.
  7. Its fine. Third kits are meant to be a bit wacky. Probably get worn 3-4 times tops. The best kits we have had by a mile for years was the Roper ones in the promotion year.
  8. No but surely that's the next stop. He follows the oil money which is largely based on exploitation and almost slave labour. But hey free Catalonia.
  9. If he is going back to Bruges he can always hang out with Brendan Gleeson.
  10. When is the last time we beat a scab 6 side in the cups? Liverpool in 2015?
  11. Our best signings in the Championship where probably ones which only cost a few mil like Conor and McGinn or loans like Tammy and Mingsy. Even Whelan was a decent buy. The big signings were utter disasters like McCormack and Hogan.
  12. Does the north/south section still be used for the next round?
  13. Kane will probably have to wait until he is 30 to try and force a move with 1 year left on his deal. Or just give up and sign a extended contract up to 35 and earn a fortune.
  14. I'd rather he left he would have weakened a potential rival team. City compete in a different world.
  15. Kane staying at Spurs now. Should have hired a proper agent and he would be at City now winning stuff.
  16. Says it all that their revenue and wage spending is about 30% of all of Ligue 1. Lyon and Marseille, big clubs in their own right, are miles away from even competing with them on a level playing field.
  17. Messi and Ronaldo in the same side would be the ultimate odd couple pairing. What wacky adventures could they get up to? This isn't football this is showbiz/social media sports based entertainment.
  18. Its unfair to judge someone in half a season's performance in a struggling side in your first season in the Premier League. I just never thought we played him correctly as he seemed much more comfortable playing with 2 up front which Smith hasn't ever really done. Makes you wonder on the scouting.
  19. There most be some sort of car pun for Aston Villa and Austin MacPhee.
