Yeah, methinks all the "Andre, who are you in for in the transfer window?" and "Will you get your transfer targets or will General Levy sucker punch you again" questions are being filtered out!!!!

 

[dcarney75]

I have asked the following questions...

1. Do you think your young age affects how you are perceived by the players or the press?
2. Do you ever read what is written about you and the team?
3. Who from the current squad would you most willingly entrust with the care of your family pets while you were on holiday?
4. Who is your favourite Disney princess, and why?

Either that or he feels like Levy's bitch.

It's either lost in translation(he means open as in the players expressing themselves) or he is lying. We definitely have not played open football this season.

Nah, it's all to do with who you follow and/or interact with on there. It's just another platform for communication - slagging off "Twitter", in and of itself, is like slagging off the postal service.

At least for 80 seconds!
