I think they look awful and are wholly a European / South American thing.

I'm wholly opposed to tifos.

To be fair we might still be on target for that - Batth, Weimann signed up for cheap, Hedges contract extension activated. New contracts to Academy players like Powell and Batty. Duru promoted to the first team. Job's a good'un get on with it Val.

Yes. They're quibbling over £600k, which tells you how miniscule the budget will be this summer for the men's team. I genuinely don't know what the Rovers fan base has done to earn such vile owners.

They're about to reap the whirlwind. You don't mess with Women's football, they're a militant lot.

Shaft them for doing something illegal? If it's such a burden they should sell the club - nobody with any sense wants them here.

I bet it looks great on the analytics. "Oh we had so much engagement on Twitter last year..."

Other clubs have already made signings. There's a lot unusual about us not knowing our budget for the next season in May.

"Try and sort yourself out, Adam, but we'll almost certainly circle back to you in August when we're priced out of our other targets".

You forgot to mention he's happy to be here because he's playing a level above his natural one.

Name another goal he was involved with.

That's the nature of the Academy - you have to play with the hand you are dealt. Michalski is meant to be talented, but he's 17.

Another roll of the dice on a lad that hasn't played a minute of Men's football. Be still my beating heart.

For reference, this is the game:

He played LW and couldn't track the run of the RB. He actually tried to, but Hoever just left him for dead both times.

We're a shell of a football club. It's incredible we've been there or there abouts for the Playoffs the last three seasons (fell apart last year in December obviously) as we basically do absolutely everything wrong off the pitch.

I thought Ayari looked like a very good player and I was disappointed he didn't play more under JDT. Remember when Ki-Jana Hoever (an athletic RB) absolutely roasted Dolan for two goals in a game against Stoke? That'll happen to ACD every week if he plays in the PL. The game at the top level has become one of athleticism and systems. I just don't see where ACD fits in and thrives with his lack of athleticism.

The 'big' clubs pushing for Europe sail close to the wind (with regards to FFP) - they often don't have £18m sat in their transfer kitty ready to splurge in January.

Depends what you mean by 'raw'. Was he the finished article? No. Could he have walked into a dozen PL sides and started from day one? Yes.

Far more athletic and talented though.

You were fully informed about what you were signing up for.

Yeah he's a massive prick, unfortunately.

Agree to disagree. There aren't any Le Tissier's in the PL anymore. Athleticism is at a premium.

Prem style football where they're bigger, better athletes? I'd be amazed if he turns into a good player. He's so small and weak - similar to Markanday. Doesn't matter how technically good you are if everyone can just bully you.
