Just on shirt sales and not taking a side on the Mexican support argument, weren't there reports we sold 4x as many shirts in Mexico as the UK?

think you will be right. He's not Lonergan of course but he seems to command his area, which Rui wasn't great at (despite his undoubted shot stopping ability). Sa may fit in well if we're going to be pushing forward rather than having seven players in or on the edge of our penalty area even when...

reports in Portugal suggest he's coming back but we've asked them to hold onto him for a couple of weeks while Jeff has a good rummage down the back of the boardroom chairs for any loose change, so we can get the cash together.

While it's a good idea not to believe media speculation on anything I'm sure we will bring players in, so it would also be a good idea for the club to be having the necessary conversations now (and indeed probably have been for months).

Also suggests to me that RAN is hopefully returning. Surely we won't rely on Vinagre? (Marcal doesn't count as he's unlikely to hold together for a total of 90 minutes during the whole season).

It's not uncommon for clubs on the continent to have a large turnover of playing staff in the summer window. There are hints that this may be the route we are going. Not something we're too comfortable with in England but Lage may be. Can work out but obviously often doesn't.

I stand corrected!🤣

Are you allowed to lick dogs? Sounds a bit risky and is surely illegal?

Would he get a work permit or would we need to loan him to say a French team to get the necessary points?

Which one? Costa linked with us again!

Pedro Almeida tweeted that Rui has signed for Roma, €10million + 2 million in add ons. I believe this guy is fairly reliable so maybe.

Didn't think that the super league had got off the ground?

Think we might find their wage demands excessive, particularly compared to what they would probably bring to the team.

When and if Nuno returns with Palace I hope he gets the rousing reception he deserves, then we stuff them 4 or 5.

Think there was considerably more than 1% chance of relegation if we'd kept Nuno on. Things showed no signs of improvement as the season developed, if anything the reverse. That said I would have kept him (if his heart was still in the job). Think with the new guy we've much more chance of...

Looks like a Chelsea shirt carried by the eagle. The Wolves shield carried by what seems to be a Greek hoplite but presumably could be any ancient warrior. As a result I'd suggest I have no idea.

Would seem so. Somewhat different type of players but we don't know what Bruno wants in midfield.

Preparing a bid? Typical journalists speculation. And as an alternative to Buendia, who they were outbid on? Neves might go this summer but even with fees potentially depressed it would surely be for more than that.

Is it really likely that a multi billion £ company have just accepted the next unemployed manager on Mendes list? I'm not particularly defending the guy as I know little about him. He might be great, on the other hand, if you read what's on here there's no point saving for his Xmas pressies...

Obviously Lage is not a popular choice on here but his brother apparently managed Benfica youth teams for many years and clearly brought through some quality footballers. Is he that much of a step down from a guy who failed as a manager in Scotland?
