That might be something to sell him on if the recruitment team have any kind of nous. Being in the doldrums at least allows you to present regular first team football as a more viable opportunity compared to a high-flying team with no obvious...

TBF he was happy to allow both Maguire and McT to leave. They both rated themselves sufficiently highly to turn West Ham (who'd just come off winning a European trophy and had a manager who would have played them most weeks) down, and players...

I've only seen a few Getafe games on and off out of curiosity, but my sense is it's totally tactical. He can drop quite deep , but it's either to specifically link play when they're struggling to transition, or it's to keep width. He plays...

Doubt it (probably a few for the cameras and one a week for show). He's an insane trainer by all accounts - peak Ronaldo levels in terms of working after-hours on skills and maintaining fitness, if not so much the muscle sculpting gym work. No...

This is true, though Chelsea are favourites for 'Messinho' - there was also a chance at one point that they could have acquired Neymar before Barca. Obviously the 'climate', aspects of the culture and even just reputation (though if United had...

Stones was at Barnsley first, and went to a PL Everton

I've seen Lewandowski miss worse. And I love Lewa.

Clearly fancies a move here, hence showing he can acclimatise to our style of play quickly...

Bribery. Being subsidized by government whenever they hit financial issues (though to be fair, they've not had to do this ins a while). Black magic. Along with Barca, having a near-monopoly on the best Brazilians due to the money, weather and...

The player Rashford tries to con himself, the club and the world he is in terms of playing LFW. Just different gravy

He's got over 400 career goals (about 390 of them scored at the top level and most of them for a side not expected to dominate their league) . He's got numerous assists for Bayern (and before that Tottenham), and not ones where he just lays a 5...

Would you be able to integrate a still fairly promising but 'raw' midfielder who we haven't been able to find an optimal position for, say for a season on-loan and subbing in for the aforementioned 'mature' midfielders? We're trying to place...

Agree that he's better than both, but the main reason (aside from Southgate) that Italy won that final was because their midfield was just...better than England's in terms of technique and smarts. They took back control (there's your Brexit...

Would be the equivalent (factoring in where Dyche is and where United are respectively) of the Moyes appointment in 2013. Moyes either had or exceeded Dyche's best club season, again even factoring in relative resources, about 6 times with...

The side is definitely playing at levels below the top 50 right now. The squad is better than that but possibly struggling for top 20. The club, on the other hand, is easily in the top few in the world. Even in this last 10/11 lean years, it's...
