With tongue firmly in cheek, @Mellotron :thumbsup:
I realise NSC would much rather dive into a thread about which hand they use to wipe their arse, but those wholesome international threads really do contain a significant amount of detail (that you won't find elsewhere) of ALL Albion players...
This is something that has been going through my mind since he started coming out with his "I'll talk to Tony and the club and we'll make a decision then" guff about whether he'll be here next season or not. You can have the best plans and intentions for the transfer window but absolutely...
I haven't made any comment about his technical abilities - just his apparent physical condition.
He collapsed, exhausted, at the end of the game on Wednesday; it wasn't what I expected to see from a 19-year-old after one half of football.
I was amazed at that. He'd only come on as a substitute at half-time. A few weeks ago he and Fati were left out of the matchday squad at Brentford and RDZ stated "I wanted them to work alone to improve their physical condition." Doesn't augur well - the kid is only bloody 19, he should have...
I'm afraid that, as an NSC user, you have zero excuse for claiming ignorance of recent international activity for Albion players:-
March 2024 - ** 26 ** (yes, that's TWENTY-SIX) Albion players on international duty
The November 2023 Albion players on international duty thread
Albion players on...
That exact thought had crossed my mind but I believe ONLY 3 goalkeepers can be named in the squad so the one to drop out of the 27 HAS to be a goalkeeper, meaning they ARE guaranteed to be included.
Looking at the facts (and reading between the lines) is there actually any connection between his "personal issues" and his loan to Stuttgart this season? I'm not so sure.
* There clearly was an issue halfway through last season. He missed a couple of games at the end of December/start of...
My sister, BIL and their 3 kids did exactly the same one year coming back from a holiday in Europe (can't remember exactly where). They showed up at the airport only to discover the flights had been booked for the day before! I think it cost them a couple of thousand pounds to book new flights.
Our "drenchliting" system wasn't secondhand - but it was installed by Scottish firm Miller & Stables Ltd from Edinburgh.
The drenchliting system (in which the head of the pylon is angled towards the ground) was also used at the likes of Newcastle United, Motherwell, Hibernian, Celtic and...
Seems about right to me :shrug:
In order for a takeover to be completed, certain conditions have to be met. Until and unless those conditions ARE met, the takeover won't be approved. If the existing club owner is determined to try and force that takeover through anyway, the process just drags...
I did read that, and I was pretty surprised about the McGill bit. He hasn't had a call-up by Canada since the Gold Cup last July (and has never made an appearance for them). In fact, the sum total of his action this entire season has been (**checks notes**) ten appearances for Albion U-21s.
I...
