And Its Smith

What a strange post

You can watch every game from the comfort of your own home for £25 per month. That’s incredible value. Beats a free shirt any day.

Up the wales

People pretending to be outraged is hilarious.

Snowflakes upset again I see

When he signed for us he would have known there was a chance this would happen. Let’s not pretend a lot of it will be money based

Maybe but the transfer won’t be reversed. Clubs loan players back all the time. A cancelled transfer….has that ever happened ?

Bet on Portsmouth so that’s looking good! Other than that, I’d like two smaller clubs to come up and struggle so we don’t go down!

I cannot see that happening whatsoever. Would be completely unprecedented

It’s fictional! In one of the books his father is named! The book isn’t an MI6 manual!

Yes I know that. Read the books and you will learn that it is his real name. Fictional characters have fictional families.

This isn’t true. His father is Andrew Bond which implies James Bond is his real name

13 out of 30 have gone down I believe. You said very few exceptions which is what I disagreed with. Over 50% have stayed up which means they have competed

Nobody buys a player paying the full fee up front nowadays.

I disagree here. Out of the last 10 teams to win the championship, only 3 have gone down the following season. 5 of the last 10 runners up have stayed up. Only 2 of the last 6 play off winners have been relegated.

They get £150m golden hello already. Seems enough to me

Probably but he’s not getting emotional about it

Ian Gay’s 8 game comment could easily just be his opinion rather than something Tinnion has told him. The text didn’t say anything about sources and can be read as opinion if wished. Think conclusions might have been jumped too here

The clubs twitter feed celebrating each renewal one by one isn’t the great look they think it is. Small time attitude

Cloud cuckoo land

It’s a forum and the thread will move with debate. No issues if people want to talk about the frees as well

He was a free wasn’t he? Decent player. Same as Roberts, another free. Didn’t include as they cost nothing and the thread was about when we spend money.

Money is too tight to mention round these parts so when we do spend it, we have to spend it wisely. With the blessing of hindsight can we really say we are where we need to be recruitment wise? To spend £10m on the below, is it good enough? Knight - £2m McCrorie - £2m Gardner-Hickman - £1.5m Mehmeti.- £1m Dickie - £800k Cornick - £500k Twine, Mebude, Stokes, Murphy - all signed for short or long term - circa £1-1.5m spent I’d guess. Seems a mixed bag at best to me

Well, either every professional manager is right or they are all wrong. I would assume the reason is a half fit player is going to be better against a more tired opposition. Maybe there are other reasons. If some managers played their half fit players for the first half hour and some for the last half hour it might be worthy of debate

I cannot recall any manager in the game playing their semi fit players for the first half an hour and not the last half an hour. Probably a reason for that
