Surprised Man U/Man City didn't go in for him. PSG just feels a bit underwhelming for a player like Messi.
I always think it would be funny if he just went somewhere like Burnley for a laugh , just to see what happens. Get him up top in a 4-4-2
I sometimes wonder why players who have made as much money as they could possibly need don't challenge themselves like that to be honest. Like Barmby did by joining us.
Barmby was still getting paid a load by Leeds when he joined us. Which made us going up even sweeter.
I’m assuming the loan from Man City won’t be happening before Preston, given Scott’s loan fell through?
Why? Smith and Bernard are the replacements in the squad for Flores and Jones, nothing to do with Scott.
Been keeping my powder dry / gob shut on this lately, with the hope that things would finally fall into place this week. Even then, it would have already been too late to have got the benefit of a pre-season with us. Of course, the window hasn't shut and there is still time. It's to be hoped there are 2 or 3 quality signings to still come in, otherwise we really are going to be in a battle at the wrong end. But what a f'ing unnecessary balls up. Mid-table budget, business done early, aiming to challenge for play-offs, best run club, blah blah .... my arse. Just another manager being ****ed over by incompetent, arrogant, lying, self-serving twat(s) running 'our' club.
