    Summer 2018 transfer thread

    They don't necessarily have less time to sell, because other countries don't have the same deadline as us. So an EPL or EFL club can sell up to 31st August to say a French, German, Italian or Spanish club, but can't buy anyone after August 9th. So sellers are less likely to panic and EPL and EFL...

    Summer 2018 transfer thread

    This in my opinion could well be what MP means when he talks of bravery, and having "crazy ideas", rather than the knee-jerk "he wants to spend loads of money and won't sign a new contract unless he is assured we will" that a great many immediately assumed even though MP has specifically...

    Summer 2018 transfer thread

    Surely(not Shirley), he'd only be "getting away with it" if the player concerned fails to meet his agreed targets? Even then that would only be alleviating the effect of a mistaken transfer from the club's point of view. If the player is a success and matches or exceeds his targets, then he...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    It's only 550 seats out of just under 10,000. Shrewsbury's average attendance this season is around 6,500. It is unlikely in my view to cause much reaction at all. I can imagine Daniel Levy making noises off stage to get a consensus for a "trial" at the new stadium for next season before the...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Good point. So, there will be even less of a problem if Shrewsbury are promoted, or rather no problem at all, so it won't bring anything to a head. Apparently for safe standing the seats are locked into place, and then unlocked for all-seater games.

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    According to Wikipedia, New Meadow, Shrewsbury's ground, was built in 2007 as an all-seater stadium, but in June 2017 the club applied for permission for some safe standing conversion, at a cost of £75,000, which may or may not have been completed. If they can convert to safe standing, I suspect...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Mea culpa. I was reviewing Wales and Northern Ireland a lot while editing dates as the state of Great Britain has had a few changes over the centuries, and I clearly removed Scotland rather than Northern Ireland by mistake in this instance. It tends to suggest though that I wasn't cutting and...

    "Great" does not have just one meaning and neither indeed does "greater", but they don't mean the same as each other in any event. Great Britain consists of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, which form the Island of Great Britain and have done since time immemorial. In Roman Times Britannia...

    Transfer window thread?

    A player can be registered for 3 clubs in a season, but can only play for 2. See article 5 Section 3 Page 9: https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/regulations_on_the_status_and_transfer_of_players_en_33410.pdf However it's a moot point as far as Janssen is concerned as he...

    Transfer window thread?

    Old geezers like me are annoyed that what used to be an hour or so's football on Sky from matches that are not the main game has been reduced over the last couple of seasons to half an hour, which, when adverts and "analysis" are removed, reduces to more like 15-20 minutes. Perhaps it was done...

    Transfer window thread?

    The comment I was replying to was: "Calvert-Lewin is home grown and a promising player who is getting regular gametime, I don't think he will want to come and sit on our bench." I interpreted that as part of a set of reasons why he wouldn't want to sit on Tottenham's bench. I can't think why...

    Calvert-Lewin was bought from Sheffield United in August 2016 For £1.5 Million. Not home grown.

    And, as I pointed out earlier, toilet. I'd want Daniel to negotiate at least £500 million for naming rights to counteract the incessant diarrhoea from opposing fans. https://www.besttoiletguide.net/what-kind-of-toilet-bowl-should-you-go-for/

    Not least because other clubs' fans have already said it looks like a toilet seat from above. Referring to the stadium as a bowl would be inviting ridicule.

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    At WHL there were umpteen sprinklers on the pitch which were in small grass covered containers which opened and shut on a regular basis. I'm not aware of any damage to the pitch or players from these devices other than the occasional soaking for people when the sprinklers were switched on at the...
