Cheap, loan, free, cheap, 8th choice. Aye canny

His gums, then gullet, then…

Also, I’d take Alex’s advice, KD. I’ve covered some ground up there by road and, whilst it’s stunning scenery, it’s full on exhausting driving any great distance. 150 miles a day, in a VW camper, is mental. You’ll be in 2nd (or 3rd if find a straight), gear most of the time.

Last dose of chemo tomorrow. Had to have a blood transfusion last week cos my red blood cells were low and I kept fainting/falling over. Six week wait after tomorrow for a scan see if it’s worked. Ready for it to be done now like, I’ve been rough for weeks, wouldn’t wish it on anyone

If he's as lethal as Perez was in the back end of last season, I'll be happy with that. On the surface, Schar seems an improvement on Clark, Muto is an improvement on Gayle (you'd hope) and Rondon is better than Joselu so, it could be worse but once more, they weren't first choice and "slight improvements" are about the best we can hope for. Not good enough, really.

This Muto smacks of another Riviere\Joslelu. We bid £20mil for Plea, and instead of adding an extra £2mil we blow £9mil on our 6th choice striker target who we will loan out to a shit club in 18months before selling him on for £3mil

Second episode was a big improvement on the first.

Unfortunately we’ve seen the current shitshow time and again. We leave our business till the last minute either because we’re lowballing on wages and fees or because we dont want to pay wages in June/July. We give rafa little money to spend and drag our heels when he does line up transfers. So what happens is all the decent players sign elsewhere and we end up rummaging in the bin end for free transfers and loans. Cue high fives between Charnley and Ashley for another successful window (for the bank manager)

Not necessarily. They can have contacts within the club who divulge the plan at the time but it’s impossible to predict what Ashley will do.
