Been told DL hasn't returned to the training ground and is still in Spain. Make of that what you will....


To be fair, he once lost an empty wheelbarrow in Spain and that cheap fucker is probably just trying to find that rusted piece of crap to sell on e-bay.


edit: He might have found it.......HERE

I should have guessed he just has an office at the training ground.

It's probably an unused medical room with a fold-out treatment table doubling as his desk which saved him having to buy a new one when he moved in.

I think Trix is on the money too.

Ah yes, sorry, it's just we generally get it from his COYS postings that I forgot he's on here as well quite often. sorry Trix. Anyway, I guess the danger is this descends into a ITK rating discussion which will probably piss A&C right off. Basically, I take it back it's not about being 100%, it's just simpler if we only allow JJs Twitter info to be posted on here, along with the OSs.

On the other hand, thinking about it, I just realised I don't actually give a shit... :barefoot:

Also, if we listen to the members, there is a danger that SC will become a ......................... Democracy:eek:

Paulinho, Holtby, Capoue and, it seems, Stambouli all off is a good start.

Few more still to go (Kaboul, Ade, Chiriches, Soldado) but it looks promising in terms of shifting some of the deadwood so far. If we can get rid of that other 4, that should really free us up to bring in 2-3 quality players (centre back, centre mid, striker) and hopefully leave us with a bit of space for a couple of others if we can find sufficient quality.

It's definitely promising but I'm a little concerned that it's the 'best' four out so far - the most capable and obvious targets for another team.

I think the other four are going to be much harder to shift, owing to a combination of age, ability, wages etc.

Really, who would want any of the second group in their team? Perhaps Soldado back to Spain where it's proven he's a goalscorer but the others? I think we'll struggle to be rid of them, particularly Ade and Kaboul (who has one more year, is that right?).

Democracies require intelligent and invested constituents, who will see the greater good's fortunes as equal to those of their own. Does that describe the members here? No. If you tried to answer the question, you proved my point as it was rhetorical.

Who does it describe.......the moderators. So SC is a democracy.

Please learn the difference between democracy and Britain's Got Talent

think there has been murmurings of itk saying few in for kaboul, ade is a different subject, maybe turkey or somewhere like that

Selling 8 or 9 players was never going to be easy.

Its natural that the most saleable would go first - but in the circumstances IMO Paulhino was sold for a good fee.

Assuming Stambouli goes (from which I deduce we have an experienced CM lined up, otherwise we might keep Stambouli), then its Soldado (Spain or Turkey), Kaboul (Turkey possibly), Lennon (Everton ?) and Adebayor will be last to go unless we are lucky. But as @talkshowhost86 said its good to have 3 confirmed outs and a 4th seemingly lined up with about 7 weeks of TW to go.

Could really do with Soldado going as he's probably 2nd highest earner - as I think that would also herald a new forward coming in, and without that any minor injury to Kane and we're ********* (stuffed)

Vlad. You forgot Vlad. Who I think will have a surprising amount of offers, TBH.
