Extremely optimistic of you to be honest!

Just out of interest, two genuine questions - do you see any issues with messaging Jadon directly with criticism? Would you message other players in the future? Only you opened your message about this with "I may have contributed to him coming off social media" - that to me strikes me that you...

It is not your job to motivate players by sending them unsolicited messages on social media. There is an entire club support network, coaching staff, mental health team, manager, family and friends surrounding the player capable of doing just that and handling it in a proper way to help him...

Ronaldo believing he cares about the club, and also being completely out of order when trashing a manager 5 months into the job and only saying he respects about 2/3 members of the squad, are not mutually exclusive ideas. I'm sure Neville, Scholes and Keane also insist they care about the club...

Surprised by some of the complaints - The ship had to be steadied, we were in total freefall after the 4-0 to Brentford and ETH has done an unreal job to get us maximum points against Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester which is not to be sniffed at based on the horrible place the team was in...

The 'I think' is just the stative verb to clarify it is ETH's opinion, personally I don't think it changes a huge amount of the meaning - if Erik thinks this is the end for transfers then I'm inclined to believe it probably is. But hey I'm not here to bicker I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Maybe I'm just incredibly jaded by this painful transfer saga but reading the actual lines instead of between them... "for this window that will be the end" strikes me as meaning - for this window that will be the end.

Looks like our pursuit of De Jong is done. Disgrace. Absolute disgrace. Ten Hag's number 1 priority chased all summer and they've failed. This is why we'll always be screwed under the Glazers. Run by incompetence.

More of this sort of thing imo.

According to reports it's a Murtough decision actually.

Never doubted Sport for a second. Very reliable I have always said.

I only really casually checked up on him last season, but when we took him back a mate who supports Forest first thing he said to me was that Garner was ok but wasn't going to be good enough to make regular appearances for our first team YET. Factoring in our physicality issue over McTom, and...

Anyone watch Tuchel's presser? I have only seen written snippets, he mentions another CB when asked about Fofana, and answers questions on adding depth to his squad when asked about another striker. Absolutely nothing to suggest they're about to bring in what would be their second most expensive...

Not necessarily, they potentially have a player going the other way in [Irrelevant point] as leverage to put in a lower bid

This has dragged on so much I am barely excited about the prospect of him playing for us, I just want us to sign him so that Gerard Romero and Managing Barca look like mugs.
