  1. Maybe they have. They wouldn't be shouting to the papers about players that have said no.
  2. Xabi Alonso. Manages Bayer Leverkusen now.
  3. Hopefully after his hand picked list of transfer targets are all signed. I'll be delighted if the Rice money goes on Maguire, McTominay and JWP.
  4. This guy didn't even come to academy football until he was 16, so it stands to reason he may develop slightly later than others. Working with a coach like Emery who, as he has said, wants players to understand why they do things will be a dream come true for him. Whether he makes it with us or not, there is no doubt in my mind that a year of training with the 1st team will set him in great stead to have a good career.
  5. I'm not convinced his comedic timing has improved much since Kindergarten Cop and Twins.
  6. Sam-AVFC

    Unai Emery

    The timing has worked out perfectly with him becoming a more prominent media figure as we sign more and more South American and Spanish players too. Maybe it's why he's become more visible. Either way, it certainly helps having him as a bridge as we hopefully get more fans in those areas of the world.
  7. He is a decent passing midfielder with not great defensive stats. He may well have been an option before signing Tielemans, it happening now seems unlikely.
  8. I know plenty will disagree as he has made some pretty bad errors, but I think Meslier could develop extremely well. The problem is, they'd probably ask for enough money to buy any 2 top goalkeeping prospects around.
  9. That there were 10 other players in the team, he was only 19 and also made 11 La Liga appearances at 18. Bristol City have had plenty of underwhelming seasons while Alex Scott has been breaking through. Same with Reading and Olise. I appreciate the league is stronger, but I don't think you can judge an individual solely on their teams performance. If we hadn't signed Kellyman from Derby, he'd probably be playing for an extremely average league 1 side this coming season! I think we have to trust they have enough knowledge of him to either be confident he will develop well, or could develop well and is cheap enough to take a punt.
  10. If we round our window off with Torres, a right back and a young, talented back up keeper it will be near perfect business for me.
  11. I agree with the points, but it was an innuendo joke! If you didn't realise that, I applaud how you have subconsciously carried on the double entendre to this post with aplomb.
  12. I can't help but think this would severely limit both players' mobility.
  13. Always seemed a good egg. Wish him all the best.
  14. Good luck with a refund. I accidentally double bought a match pass before when the site was bugging and never managed to get a response from the club.
  15. They are seperate. Are you definitely logged in? My details didn't work yesterday, so I had to reset my password.
  16. It works great for me as over the past year and a half I've mostly been at work for games, so I get home and watch them at 2am. The only big downside is they put the scores in the video titles, so half the time I don't manage to click on it before spoiling and don't end up watching.
  17. I watched him quite a lot in the championship and thought he was great. This year I only really watched Forest at the start of the season when they were struggling to gel, although I hear he improved massively throughout. I'm all for it, but very much doubt we'd be able to agree a price that makes sense.
  18. Is it just me that found it interesting he had been told about the season ticket waiting list and stadium expansion? To me, that says we are selling the vision to grow into a really exciting club for players within a few years. Hopefully that breeds a mindset of improving us into the club you dream of playing for rather than stopping off with your next move already in mind.
  19. A year ago I think CDK would have been seen as a real coup. By all accounts he's had a pretty bad season, but the signing still excites me as I think his profile is exactly what we need for our 2nd striker.
  20. If you mean the tweet thread, it completely missed the mark on how FFP works.
  21. That is not right at all. If we make sales of £120m every summer we can keep spending that year after year, but his figures are way off.
  22. I think he's a good ball carrier and energetic. There should be no reason for a player like him to be making 50 yard runs unless it's towards his own goal!
  23. If the Amish were on Twitter you'd be getting cancelled so hard now.
  24. Then you negotiate an upfront fee so the financial risk of failing the claim is on you, rather than the lawyer. Or you do a little bit of reading and submit a claim yourself, increasing the risk of getting no money and spending your own time doing it. You wont find many people willing to do either of those though. People want to have their cake and eat it and be able to say '**** lawyer types' for expecting to be paid to do a job.
