    Another signing from the world renowned West Brom academy (albeit Indirectly)! We must have the laziest academy scouts in Europe😀

     

    As is often pointed out on the banks of wherever I happen to be fishing, don’t ignore the fish close to where you  are and lose them while trying to cast  miles away!

    (My son's in Worcs Academy and I see a lot of him in it).

    Good luck to him for the upcoming season.

    But yeah OT bluey is class, head and shoulders above the other stuff

    My daughter is a big fan of bluey. My own favourite is The Octonaughts particularly the episode with the Scouse sea lions! 🤣

    So I've just heard a villa fan on radio wm say he's getting bored and annoyed by Emery as he doesn't show "Passion"

    I nearly smashed my phone in anger.

    The boo boys have started. Can you believe it.

    I can believe it, there’s plenty of idiots about, some in here. That’s the modern world for you.

    Lads I’ve got one. Been thinking of it for hours: 

    I hope he doesn’t like straying offside, because, the Lino will flag him… 😂😂😂😂😂😂 

     

     

    😭

    Surely no body likes to stray offside even if they do it a lot. I think we can draw the line under this one!!!

    You all sound like the kind of entitled idiots that forced Unai out of Arsenal. Be careful what you wish for, or at least how you sound. 

    If we could go back far enough to before the days of the www and this sort of forum I bet you could have got rid of Ron Saunders and probably the Man U fans could have forced Fergie out before he really go going. I’d say Klopp probably saw the writing on the wall and decided to jump before he was pushed so the Scousers could at least enjoy a good wake!!

    From what I've seen of Rowe he's a very explosive but raw player, has quite an unorthodox style which sometimes looks a little clumsy. Rogers looks a much tidier player who has the ability to beat players without needing space in behind.

    Thanks Tom, which one do you think would suit us best, if you were Unai/Monchi, which one would you get the cheque book out for? and why?

    Yeah but it’s not the clickbait that bothers me as much as the attention that fans are giving it and the actual consideration or even desire to sell him… it’s been considered and discussed for a while…

    There are other ways around FFP, and we are trying to qualify for CL and increase our revenue in different ways (maybe we should be more on board with that rather than wanting our better players sold). We have (more) expendable players too… it would be a huge blow to lose him.

    Why is he expendable all of a sudden?

    When he was seen as indispensable not so long ago?

    He got injured through no fault of his own and is now having a FOR SALE sign hung on him by some fans…

    Battling his way back and trying to recover form - which he will.

    Even in his cameo vs Brighton he scored a stunning goal… some seem to be forgetting how good he has been and what he is capable of…

    Unai has always put him in the team when he’s been available too… I still think he favours JJ and McGinn at LM and RM when he can do it…

    The lack of patience, faith and sympathy… FFS… he’s class.

     

    I can’t wait to have the Moreno and JJ combo back again… we are going to tear through teams again!

    You’re right and that’s probably what we’ve been missing recently, he just needs time to recover his full match fitness as does Moreno.

    Yes but people had already been discussing or considering selling him with all the prior FFP talk, that’s been going on for a while… I find it quite disappointing.

    The lad is so talented and still so young… one of the very best young players in the league with such huge potential… he should be a big part of our future and I’m taken aback but those who would be (more than) willing for that to be no longer the case… especially if he moved to another PL club. That would be DISGUSTING.

    It would look bad too… selling one of our prized possessions… that’s what he is. A player who came through our academy, who has always loved and supported the club, who has demonstrated tremendous talent and ability and… like you say… is a key player. Short memories again… he was superb last season and this injury has just stalled him… watch how he thrives once’s he’s fit and firing again…

    If we consider offers (that aren’t ridiculous) for such a player… it just makes us look like a selling club rather than an ambitious one imo… and invites more offers for more players… then how are we going to encourage and engender loyalty from our players to buy into the “project” or vision and stick around for the long term?

    Will everyone be dispensable? 🤮 

    Again, it’s all just speculation and noise, guesswork… I’d rather not give it too much weight personally…

    I agree and don’t think we are seriously considering selling him. Fans, particularly on social media tend to always want a new shiny player and do will happily be prepared to sell an existing player regardless of how good he is to get a new shiny one, which is often madness, this would definitely be an example, in a week or two JJ will recover his full match fitness and we’ll have an excellent player back who’ll be one of the first on the team sheet and one of the last we’d want to lose. UTV!!!!!He’s the type of player we’re looking for! But probably won’t find in the January market, certainly not at any decent value for money. He certainly doesn’t appear to be wanting a move, so it’s just noise from elsewhere particularly as we’re playing Newcastle on Tuesday, lazy clickbait as usual!

    Fair? You’re expecting fair? What is this madness you speak of? This is the Sky created and operated PL, let there be no more of this talk please! 🤣

    Highlighting the carriage return buttons.

    You posted a pretty big post with a wall of unbroken test.  Makes it difficult and onerous to read.  I was just pulling your leg by pointing out you might like to insert a paragraph or two in it.  Sorry.

    No problem Sid I do usually break down what a write into paragraphs, as others  not doing it bugs me too! So my Appologies and thanks! 👍
