Yeah, I said I wouldn't take him on a free at city. He's just not the player some people thought he was.

Why any team would buy Mount and not even go in for Maddison when he's available is beyond me, he's 10x better. I know sometimes people say "they're not like for like, Maddison is a 10 .Mount is an 8". That's all nonsense, Maddison covers a lot of ground, he drops deep, presses etc. All the things Mount is supposed to do but excellent with the ball.

I said the other day that any armchair fan could've said Mount will look anonymous for the rags, so you wonder why these so called experts don't see it.

He'll be a regular on the bench by October

All nonsense to me… an 8 is just a right footed 10 in my day. Inside right and inside left

They won't release anything until we play or there is news of us signing someone. They did it last week, about an hour before we played Seville they had the Greenwood news breaking.
Fuckin media whores them lot, their PR team are out there on their own for shoehorning their shithouse headlines in-between important games or news.

Pretty remarkable that Postecoglu and Pochettino seem to have made the same progress in 1 month that ten Hag has made in 1 year.

Are they announcing their greenwood decision today?

I know I'm a cynical FOC but I still feel that they had no intention of letting him back to the fold. The whole thing was a cheap publicity stunt engineered by the club to make out the Glazers care for their supporters and 'after close consultation with various fan groups we have decided to act in a way that they -the supporters- wanted us too.'

It was a clumsy and amateurish stunt from start to finish, but no more than we have all come to expect from a club so bereft of morals they make Torquemada look like Ned Flanders.



The whole thing will blow over within a week or so, but most importantly for the Glazers it will sell a few more replica shirts and make the club look like they care about the community.

They've been done over with Mount. I never understood the hype around him. Yes, he's a good player. Not questioning that at all. But the stuff you were reading about him made you think he was Messi-like.

I think Mount was a decent player about 2 years ago. Where the fuck was he hiding and did he leave his ability there.

No the decision makers dont land back in this country until Wednesday.

Are they announcing their greenwood decision today?

I think they were hoping for an England WC win so that they could bury it. They are completely at a loss now.

[KentBlue]

Yep. Gone.

'They make Torquemada look like Ned Flanders'

Now that, fellow Blues, is what I call a sentence.. worthy of comparison with Elmore Leonard, E L Doctorow, nay, even Dickens himself. Read well and digest for future reference, all!
