Pretty certain we are not one of the clubs who are in for him, but this guy would be a good signing for the future. He’s going to be a Championship defender (at least) in the coming seasons:

 

How low can we go? Joe Low low?

Is it only 50 years ago , we were buying the most expensive defender in Britain ? ( David Nish ) . That would be £80 million nowdays . Where did it all go wrong ? 

Two words - Tommy Docherty.

In some semblance of order based on PW's likely preference for CM

1. Bird

2. Hourihane

3. Thompson

4. Adams

5. Smith

6. Fornah

7. SIbley?

8. Robinson or Fapetu

I would have though midfielder could also include the likes of Ward

 

 

I think Adams will go. he's had long enough and just hasn't impressed me. 🙂

Wiki already been edited. May be something in this?

I like Fornah. K Smith on the other hand, never seen the benefit.

Don't really do horror, least not the slasher, hacker type stuff. Leaves me cold. I did watch Se7en again the other night though, which I guess is a horror of sorts and it's still brilliant.

Like you, I don't really love the Marvel stuff, though some of that ilk, I loved, my avatar being the clue. Don't mind an action movie either, though I can't recall offhand the last one I watched that I really liked. 

British drama and comedy still in a league of it's own, though I must say I do like trawling French, Italian and Scandiwegian stuff, likewise Korean. There's a lot of talented filmmakers out there, I'm discovering.

"The Taste of Things" that we are seeing Monday is French-subtitled. The wife is learning the lingo so I thought this might help!

Can't wait for the meltdown tonight from some of the babies that don't realise that deadline day is tomorrow.

11pm tomorrow. Might have to stay up late to suffer the disappointment.

Only seen a couple from your list; Ferrari which I liked, likewise, The Boys in the Boat. The former bravely pulled no punches in its depiction of Enzo, which is far from flattering, I thought, though Adam Driver was excellent. The Boys in the Boat is such a remarkable story that just the telling would be compelling enough, but I enjoyed the film too. Michael Mann is a talented chap and the writers aren't too shabby either. Fair pedigree!

I've chucked your other recommendations onto my IMDB watchlist as having had a peek, they look a really good selection. Thanks for the heads-up mate 👍

You're welcome. I'm very much into the British drama / comedy and true story genres. Not into American shot 'em-ups, horror or Marvel stuff.

He was indeed a loanee. 13 appearances for us.

After getting back from Tallinn where we spend Christmas, it's new year in the new pad in Carcassonne, Eindhoven in February, Lyon for Easter, Madrid in April, Bali in May, five weeks in Carcassonne in June / July and back there twice in September. That's it for now. 😏  Will try and get the Mrs drunk later though and talk her into some Italian interrailing in August.

Added a few more now. Santorini in August, Geneva in October, Carcassonne again in early June, October and December.
