@BeyondTLM Why is Cruyff also so often included as a midfielder?

History will be kind to Edin Dzeko. Too low-key to ever be a Ballon D’Or sort of player, he has still put in consistently strong seasons almost every year since 2008. A great example of a player who adapted his game with age to stay relevant.

Undoubtedly he will not get the full payout of his contract length, but the point is that he will get much more than he would were he sacked with a 3 year contract. Otherwise there would have been no point in him signing it.

@TheFergusonWay The 6.5-year deal includes key protection clauses for the club. If sacked early, Rosenior will not get his full remaining salary Estimated compensation payout: £4m – £10m (capped) — Significantly less than the full contract value get some fresh air

Simply disgusting and shameful, we can do without the tedious Liverpool exceptionalism.

What Newcastle fans never seem to take on board is that they will never be a destination club for any player. Being able to pay better wages would just delay the inevitable move anyway.

People want to blame Howe more than PSR because it’s more fashionable. Had Howe been able to lure his first choice targets with the wages 15th placed Man Utd and other teams were able to do, we wouldn’t be in this position. The PL made these rules to stifle us - blame them more.

@OllieHolt22 I’m looking forward to them telling Enzo Fernandez to put away those fanciful thoughts of moving to Spain before the 2030s. Let’s see how that flies.

When Chelsea put players on eight-year deals and then find out they’ve got a toxic dressing room, the Blueco model starts to fall apart

@ademir2z It's a bit odd scouting a player who was already a superstar at that stage and very much in the public domain, even allowing for the times when access was not so ubiquitous. And there was never any chance he would sign for an English club.

Worth noting that Hagi was regarded as among the best players in the world at this point. Was the star player of a Steaua Bucharest team who’d made the EC final the prior season.

A case of ‘what might have been’…imagine the great Gheorghe Hagi 🇷🇴gracing a @LFC shirt in the 1990s 🤔 Long before be became a @GalatasaraySK legend, this scouting report reveals that Hagi was once a potential transfer target of the Reds. Full story in tonight’s programme📕

It's somewhat disarming to consider that Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City have conceded 26 goals in just 7 games of this CL Round of 16. And who fancies Tottenham to make those figures look better in a little while...

@BeyondTLM @Camden_Paul The housing is too close to the back of the stand to be Boundary Park, assuming it's looking at the Rochdale Rd End. There is an estate in that general area but they're 1960s dormer bungalows

I have a few photos of northern English grounds I took in the mid 80s and am now trying to identify, so any help appreciated! The first 2 pics are of the same ground, the third is a different one I think.

@BeyondTLM @juiceterry87 I think the first two are Boundary Park, Oldham. Definitely had the shake car park there when I first went about 20 years ago.
