Glad he's reverted back to his Dragon Ball Z hair instead of the cornrows.

Don't agree with the bottom part of this. Gilmour is a very very classy player and is having a great season. He's also playing a different position to where Ali Mac played most of the second half of last season. But RDZ has said the top part before. Ali Mac essentially covered the roles of two...

Still hopeful. #HoldTheNerve

Well sort of. Being first is almost always more important than being completely right for Fabrizio. In this scenario, Ornstein and Romano got the original information from the same (or similar) sources, but Ornstein went to other sources (the club) to corroborate the story and get a wider...

It's that Romano's sources are often overly-invested on transfers happening isn't it? We know he's the most connected transfer reporter in the game and his information is normally correct but he gets the majority of his stuff directly from agents, who will feed him things that help themselves...

I've heard that a glowing review from Ali Mac very much helped Valentin to make his mind. Interesting that Mac Allister Senior is doing the rounds in South America talking about the deal positively.

I agree. I also wonder if RDZ will want to use him as the hybrid full back out of possession, deep lying midfielder in possession, that he's been experimenting with over the past few months (mainly with Milner). Barco looks like he has all the attributes to play in this role. This would allow...

Well it depends on how those transfer deals for our players are structured. Based on how Chelsea quite like to do things it wouldn't be a shock if the structure for the British record fee they paid for Moises is spread out for as long as possible. Whilst fees seem miniscule in the grand scheme...

I'm reading it more as an accountancy disagreement. It would obviously be better for us if we could spread the payments over multiple windows, allowing more flexibility elsewhere in the market. It would be better for Boca if we were forced to pay the money up front so that they have all of the...

The top part is absolutely correct but I don’t think it would particularly matter if he triggered the release clause. Loyalty bonuses are usually paid out throughout the contract on a pro-rata basis (yearly I think). Transfer requests usually make the remainder of that bonus null and void so...

It may not be a shit tonne more than $4m to be fair to Boca. For Boca to get that $4m as a 10% sell on, we’d need to sell Barco for at least $50m (£40m) at some point (which would likely make him one of the ten most expensive full backs ever). It may happen but it may also be the case that he...

This is a really good point and probably the best interpretation of how we set up in this thread. Maybe if Lamptey gets up to full fitness then the LB rotation option is Tariq as an inverted left full back, with Veltman, Milner and Gross as the RB options. We lined up like this against Arsenal...
