Manor completed ???.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 19:21:55
Mozel tov.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 20:54:36
Personally think he will prove to be a useful signing to say the least. He could be a very good impact player to have on board, and open up defences that have been set up to spoil. I know others aren’t, but I’m happy with this one.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 20:59:33
Really hope it works out, because when he's fit he's top notch.
4.) 28 Aug 2024 22:49:42
As Dil says the lad can be a massive player for us.
He’s literally a top half EPL player IF he stays fit.
21 Aug 2024 20:29:30
Reportedly we've signed subject to medical Ramazani. Fee reported to be in region of £10M.
1.) 21 Aug 2024 20:35:48
Old news.
2.) 21 Aug 2024 20:53:53
Who the hell is that, George! Sounds like an Italian Pasta.
3.) 21 Aug 2024 20:59:03
Absolute belter of a signing is that! going to be a few opposition full backs getting twisted up in the near future. Rejoice!
4.) 21 Aug 2024 21:35:27
That's what I want to hear Dill!
5.) 21 Aug 2024 21:47:47
Dill Agree. Let's go large.

LUFC reportedly interested in renewing interest in Manuel Benson from Burnley.
14 Aug 2024 12:35:22
LUFC linked with acquisition of Stoke winger Million Manhoef.
1.) 14 Aug 2024 13:37:05
I liked what I saw of him last season, once he settled he looked very dangerous.
2.) 14 Aug 2024 14:19:59
Melvin Manhoef's son. His dad was a killer in his day. Slumped some big, big dudes, including notoriously iron chinned Mark Hunt. His fights with Cyborg and Robbie Lawler were class, too.
11 Aug 2024 17:20:58
Reportedly Pompey now in for LOL.
1.) 11 Aug 2024 18:57:54
LOL? Who is that?

Please tell me that's your one liner joke for. today MOT ?.

I'm not the best at the TLA's.
7.) 12 Aug 2024 06:08:30
Have never liked that label for him anyway, so best you don’t get it MoT….
8.) 12 Aug 2024 09:54:12
Agree bright.
9.) 12 Aug 2024 11:51:32
How can you not be the best at TLA when a TLA is in your very own handle?
10.) 12 Aug 2024 17:56:01
The TLA is callous WRT Coops IMO, or maybe I lack SOH. Anyway GTG I'm AFK on WoW.

Gary Shaw RIP.
1.) 16 Sep 2024 15:56:30
Indeed George, very sad news.
2.) 16 Sep 2024 17:05:00
Incredibly sad, such an exciting player to watch, deepest sympathies with his family.
3.) 17 Sep 2024 08:32:55
My first pair of shin pads were Gary Shaw endorsed. Cracking player. Sad news indeed.
06 Sep 2024 17:47:48
It's been reported that LUFC are considering extending Bambi's contract. Why?
1.) 06 Sep 2024 18:34:09
Keeping him on after he retires at the end of the season, as he knows his way around the physio room.
2.) 06 Sep 2024 20:56:25
Great reply dill really made me chuckle.
3.) 07 Sep 2024 06:58:38
Just read that about Bambi. Absolutely ridiculous if true. What a complete waste of money.
4.) 07 Sep 2024 07:14:04
Is it though? In contract, he’s worth more to the club and can attract a transfer fee if and when he leaves. He’s just turned 31 and would be a free agent at the end of the season otherwise. I doubt this is about keeping him, though if he returns to fitness / form, why not? I doubt he will be on the same terms; this is about maximising his value to the club.
5.) 07 Sep 2024 08:13:18
A transfer fee? Hilarious.
6.) 07 Sep 2024 08:26:24
Indeed Ani, and he’s probably taking a pay cut too.
7.) 07 Sep 2024 09:21:38
That journo that reported it is a charlatan. Would take it with a bucket load of salt.
8.) 07 Sep 2024 09:23:26
He's already got a contract until 2026 according to transfermarkt, Ani.
9.) 07 Sep 2024 09:24:45
There is a way in which it could make sense. He’s currently the highest earner at the Club, which makes absolutely no sense, given that he’s hardly playing, and on such a high wage no-one would be interested in taking him off our hands at any time in the next 2 years. The lad may be content taking a significant pay cut in exchange for the security of a longer contract.
This could free up some wages for an additional striker in January, either permanent or on loan. If Bamford can find some fitness he could either still be an asset in the rest of this season or, if we do bring in a ‘replacement’, another club might take him loan perhaps paying half of his now lower wages. In the summer, it’s possible again another club could take him on loan on a similar, or better, basis depending on his fitness and form. If somehow he gets into a vein of fitness and form, someone may even take him from us permanently given his reduced wage level.
Bottom line is that as things stand, we’re paying a huge wack to the lad every week whatever his fitness and form is for this season and next, so it’s probably worth rolling the dice, at least to increase the chance of the financial/ fitness/ form odds falling more in the Club’s favour.
10.) 07 Sep 2024 10:39:55
Good points, Clu.
11.) 07 Sep 2024 11:42:03
Careful Cluey; the logic police will stitch you up like a right kipper on that one!
12.) 07 Sep 2024 11:42:14
I’d just send someone round. Its business. Not personal.
13.) 07 Sep 2024 12:02:13
Now I’m confused.
It’s better paying him less money for longer rather than nothing from 2026?
That would have to be a big big drop in pay.
14.) 07 Sep 2024 12:27:29
According to the Athletic again reported i'm May 2034 all Leeds players upon relegation had to undergo a 50% to 60% wage cut.
As such Bamford is on somewhete between £28, 000 to £35,000 . equates to around £3 million remaining wages of 2 years remaining on his contract.
Bamford is 31, he will be 33 at the end of his contract . he is already well, well past his physical best
He has had numerous different injuries over a very troublesome past 3 years
It seems very highly likely he will continue to have extensive injuries and physically deteriorate further
.
So hoping for another club to pay any transfer fee for PB is folly, pie in the sky VERY wishful thinking indeed . never, never happening!
15.) 07 Sep 2024 13:58:48
Plus. As dill says. We can rent out his air b n b in physio room.
16.) 07 Sep 2024 18:41:16
Almost certain to happen then Baz.
17.) 07 Sep 2024 20:38:06
Nope Ani . NEVER will happen ( as deep down you know full well)
much like your "Gonners" ( I did warn thee Ani) ☺.
18.) 07 Sep 2024 22:28:41
Unless he is doing a medical degree and can join the physio staff!
19.) 07 Sep 2024 23:18:31
Bit like your Rodon would never sign permanently for a championship club or Everton would never get a points deduction, or your Philips to the barcodes etc. yea Baz, we take your “never gonner happen” statements with a pinch of salt. When you gonner be right for once?
20.) 08 Sep 2024 00:44:47
Ani . yep Rodon performances this season have very weirdly fallen off a cliff
so maybe the Champo ( not the EPL ) is his ability level after all.
21.) 11 Sep 2024 06:37:55
For one of the extremely rare occasions I’m agreeing with Baz concerning Bamford. He is surplus to requirements due to his constant injuries. No club is likely to invest in a player that spends the majority of his season of the treatment table.
It was not a good idea by our previous owners to give Bamford such a lengthy contract when they did.
Bamford’s playing days for us are all but done, I have a feeling he’ll make some appearances this season but if we go up he’ll either wind down his contract which is more likely or, feel he could have some kind of short future as a semi crocked player for a Championship club.
He also may retire and could go into coaching?
Bamford can also speak four languages and would, you would think have some capacity career wise in football outside of being a player.
31 Aug 2024 18:33:22
Congratulations ? Joe Root most Test centuries ? for ??????? record.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 19:56:39
Simply tbe BEST ?. record breaker Yorkshire Joe .
2.) 31 Aug 2024 22:01:58
Love Root. After Ashley Metcalfe my second favorite ever batsman.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 22:46:34
Just 96 more runs needed to overtake Alastair Cook as leading Test run scorer for England.
4.) 01 Sep 2024 02:07:58
He'll pass Ponting in 2025.
5.) 01 Sep 2024 06:39:48
Do they live near each other George? Why not until 2025. Should think they will see each other before then.
6.) 01 Sep 2024 20:37:55
Aus Because he'll need the rest of the summer, the winter and next summer to hit a further 1,000 Test runs to overtake Ricky. Then he'll only be looking up at Sachin (whom also played for Yorkshire) .
31 Aug 2024 17:58:54
Baz What do you make of Mouth Ply? ?.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 18:24:05
Plymouth Georgey?
Never been.
Traveling to Japan is quicker. certainly more comfy.
2.) 31 Aug 2024 18:28:22
Baz Check out DF, not Farkey.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 19:14:57
Excellent game to day all pulled together by one ?.
4.) 31 Aug 2024 19:58:23
Aha OK Georgey I shall definitely check out the genius that is DF ( Farley that is ) .
31 Aug 2024 16:59:58
What a silky operator Ao Tanaka is.
Good performances from Meslier, Struick, Gruev and Aaronson but my MOTM Firpo.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 17:50:39
Got motm against Spain in World Cup. Not seen much of him but he looks like a hybrid of Lee bowyer and frank lampard
The 49ners have a good eye for a player and a deal
I also think aarenson will be a big player this season.
2.) 31 Aug 2024 18:28:56
Tanaka subarashii desu ne!
Dai suki ?.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 18:34:59
Good shout, Bermo. Bowyer energy levels and ability to box crash. He's going to be a proper steal him. Can't wait to see him get some starts.
4.) 31 Aug 2024 20:13:04
Lee Bowyer stats Dill. that would be impressive to emulate.
5.) 31 Aug 2024 21:42:39
Certainly would. May as well aim high.
6.) 31 Aug 2024 23:24:22
All the signings look like superstars in their own right. Impressed with Solomon and how quick he fit into the team. He's read the game well.
Can't wait to see what we can do after the international break.
I'll never understand the dislike of Firpo. He's a solid performer and helped Summerville get as many goals as he did. Top player.
7.) 01 Sep 2024 05:34:50
Firpo is technically sound and a very good attacking outlet. His defensive frailties are overstated a tad, but in large part it's due to him playing so high so he's out of position defensively and playing catch up. He dives in a bit as well, but does seem less pronounced since DF has come in.
I enjoy watching him bomb down the left hand side. Get the feeling he'll be a solid contributor this season and will contribute more than he costs us.

Junior has simply found his level. He's a decent Championship standard LWB, but not LB. Let him depart on a free in the summer.
14 Sep 2024 16:46:29
Baz ???????.
08 Sep 2024 15:20:18
Here here.
30 Aug 2024 21:58:10
What Alf said.
30 Aug 2024 00:36:31
Cluey Hamer and Piroe crossed paths in the Feyenoord youth academy as teenagers. They may have stayed in touch. Hope we complete this acquisition. Excellent player and would wind Wild up no end.

16 Sep 2024 17:21:13
Some excellent posts from Baz, Dill and MOT.
I too would drop Amps back into CD but with license to push up into midfield.
Gruev and Ao my midfield pairing.
Isaac in for Bogle.
15 Sep 2024 12:03:51
Good write-up Class.
14 Sep 2024 23:06:16
Bazadamus Farke seems to play for stats but it's mostly slow, backward possession with little penetration. Want to see more diags. Want to see our wingers stay on wing more instead of cutting inside into the congestion.
14 Sep 2024 23:03:04
Paddy has missed and air kicked from millimeters under the bar. Paddy wouldn't have even made the run to the box.
14 Sep 2024 19:07:54
Relegation form, ???. Farke out. Another German in. Tuchel. Or try get Marcelo back.
