Bragging rights if we win it then..? Frightening set of players they are bringing over

y'know, being professional athletes and all that, you'd expect some clauses in the contract that a player should keep to a baseline fitness, BMI and all that jazz, failing which a contract may be terminated or reduced wages. looking through the Austria pictures, one can spot Caddis still carrying a lot of timber

so back to the game. what can we expect with the game with the scousers ? They drew with Bury and have an expensive, spanking new centre midfield. Will we be playing two different teams each half, you think?

Read on twitter that Ipswich signed Gwion Edwards unsure if reliable: Retweet from The Lad on The Ball http://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-agree-edwards-fee-1-5606832

Lack of respect?

Golden Boot, anyone?

Same sentiments there. Do hope we see history in the making. This is their first final

Come 2020, probably need a Davenport or a Rothwell to mix it in there

And we have found a real gem of a keeper. Still so young and not afraid of giving lip to those in front of him with every shot

Very backhanded there, mate ?

Looking forward, the young ones will learn and grow. Still very strong defence, midfield yes including alli and lingard, and strikers like Kane. Really did think there was something divine and we were going to the final and smashing France could be the booze speaking now

All over. Frigging sitting back sitting back croatia was supposed to be running on fumes after two consecutive extra time matches! How can they go to the finals. We should have strolled it

Trippier out cos of injury. 52 years

What a shocker for this to happen, only brief consolation is it being in preseason where points aren’t being dropped? apart from Capt J-Low, didn’t they also sign the Turkish Messi

He has lots of issues, doesn’t he? Imho, wouldn’t touch with a barge pole

Saw the released list. A bit left field but how about the Korean Ki from Swansea and Lee Chung Yong? They struck me as hardworking and have some skills, albeit some time ago that I saw them play. Lee seems like a winger.

Jermaine Jones

And we get to play Villa next season, hehe

Or a very reluctant ‘yes’ ?

I think this is a sensible course of action. Don't want to be coming back and announcing that he has money to spend. The selling clubs would take that as a cue to drive a harder bargain. best to say we are penniless?

I tend to agree with this. Have done work with Asians, orientals etc. and they do have a different way of working and looking at things. I find that if they find a personal connection to you, then many things go (if it makes sense, the Chinese call it guanxi). it's not wholly about hard stats etc. well, we do have foreign owners. hope it's not politically incorrect here but I think TM is approaching it right too.

He was desperate to play for us again, and that’s heart rending. Can’t see him in a rovers shirt anytime soon, what a pity. He’s one we took to, and not many starts at that. What could have been, alas

Seems a talent. Been moved to the U-23s. Excited about 18 year old Simmonds too

Real shame. Feel for the lad. Looks like the same tear

At the start of the season, there was Doyle and Williams. He looked on the verge of breaking through.
