Mr. P

Blimey this thread. Think we all need the football to start! 

Well this has certainly increased the online guest numbers on the site. 

It’s like reading the David McGoldrick thread again! 😆

Nice goal. For them.

Bizarre blowing for halftime early but understandable in that heat.

Well that’s two strikers we now have who don’t score goals.

That’s the spirit 🙄

Well that’s a solid base to work with.

Anybody got an "alternative" way of reading this that isn't behind a firewall?

If you’re quick enough you can click on the link & put your phone into aeroplane mode & you’ll be able to read it.

I like Declan Rice, I do, but £105m seems a bit excessive. Yes you have the English added tax on homegrown players, still though, does make you wonder at what point we see a "great reset" in transfer fees. 

We can't see players go for £200m, £300m each in the next 10 years surely.

I'm not convinced Man City wanted him. They just played Arsenal into bidding more than they wanted to.

And the bloke in his 70's with the gold pants that won't stay up leaves everyone eating his dust.  Fantastic and I'm not a mega fan

Same here. I enjoyed his performance, his voice was better than I thought & wasn’t as vic reeves as I thought it would be. But 77 year old still being able to sing & play piano that quick is no easy feat. Over 50 years experience helps I suppose. But I struggle to tap my head & rub my belly at the same time & I’m 30 years younger!

So who are the next big up & coming headline bands? Seeing Download & Glastonbury lineups got me wondering. They can’t keep wheeling out 70’s/80’s icons out, time waits for no one. Can’t keep relying on David Grohl gatecrashing other performances either. Or is it Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé & Artic Monkeys for the next 20 years? 

What’s he done to upset the Polish fans? Couple demanding an apology for something on his instagram. Even pressing the translate button doesn’t really help.

Saka hattrick before game is over?

Yes lol

Basically stop worrying about lack of signings & enjoy the weather, because next month is when things start to get going. 

Plus it was Metallica so the volume was turned up to 11.

can hear it from Derby city  centre right now!

Can hear it just outside Burton with the north easterly winds.

Give it a month & ask again. Most are still on holiday no doubt. I’m sure we’ve been talking to a lot of players/agents/clubs behind the scenes. 

West Ham getting English teams banned from europe again. That's one way to stop Man City from winning the champions league for the next 5 years!

Even ignoring his goals and assists, or lack there of, he’s a player with a tremendous motor but lacks vision and technical ability. If you want a player to keep things ticking by and press off the ball then he’s great for that. If you want a player to receive the ball and do something positive with it then he’s not the guy. Truthfully, if the shoe was on the other foot and we were linked with Knight (especially at an inflated £5m figure) then I’d be worried about what sort of tangible output we would get from him. An attacking midfielder who would struggle to have more than 10 goal contributions for £5m just because he runs around a lot wouldn’t be my ideal of value.  

Could’ve waited to say that after we sold him! Scouts are reading this forum lol
