Huge signing, regardless of the fee.
Feel like this marks the start of the Mourinho era at the club.
Apart from his qualities on the pitch we need players like him in the dressing room.

I'd never even heard of ball recovery until yesterday but now that we've got the best ball recoverer in world football, I think this matches the excitement of the Klinsman signing!

It sounds like the sort of phrase that might have an entry on Urban Dictionary...

Haha. Classic! Like when wearing a pair of sport shorts in the 1980s?
My mate fell asleep at a festival once, he had sports shorts on, he was on his back with feet to the ground and knees in the air. After a while we noticed everyone pointing and laughing in our direction. I turned round to wake him cos we were gonna move, but his old chap had escaped up the inside of his leg and was in full glory. So we just left him for a bit. Quite a crowd gathered.

Anyway, ball recovery. Excellent news.

@ackie Wondering what this was referencing since I hadn't posted anything in a long time, apparently my account was hacked and a bunch of emogees left on posts. Password reset now so hopefully there will be no more.
Just a WTF smiley on a comment... no worries mate

:LOL:

And there, ladies and gentlemen, we have the difference between men and women.

In such circumstances, a group of women would have rushed to the protection of their friend, guarded her modesty, consoled her soothingly and scowled at gawpers.

Men - just laugh themselves stupid before calling everyone else round to have a butchers.

Hate to go massively off topic but should be patently obvious why a woman laying exposed & unconscious at a festival would need protecting and be treated differently to a bloke in the same situation...

Didn’t think I’d need to clarify given the lighthearted nature of the discussion but.......I was only referring to what could be seen in such circumstances, not what could be done. We’re talking about the possibility of people being embarrassed, not raped.

In our defence, we were very shocked, and I couldn’t breathe for laughing, the others were like ‘what you laughing at?!’ Then they saw. When he woke up, he said ‘err, was my err, old boy hanging out?’

He was fine about it, ya know, maybe even got a couple of admirers?

Best ball recoverer in the world, sounds like something we need every time Sissoko shoots... new level of ball boy skills required for that. Most expensive ball boy transfer in world football.
Seriously though, the kind of player we have needed for a while, good signing.

It was all a giant ruse and we end up keeping KWP and signing Højbjerg for £3m (somehow... look I haven't thought this through ok?).

With Hojbjerg coming in nice and early, does anyone know when the players will be back for preseason training? I googled our preseason fixtures and saw that we kick off against Ipswich on the 22nd Aug... that's just 11 days' time! We can't be playing matches as soon as that surely??
