Chuffed for the lad. Great season, great player.

Couldn't agree more. Well said.  
The arrogance of far left has pissed off many people like myself who feel the need to compromise personal values to actually look at voting for people I actually do not like because although they aren't socialist - they are more aligned to reality. 
you hear people using words like racist, right wing, fascist , to describe people who were staunch labour voters for many years. I genuinely think such people don't care for where the country is heading.
my family history, how I live my life, my views on healthcare and supporting those less fortunate is not represented by any party these days. Our identity as a country is being eroded. Our culture, traditions, ability to feel comfortable to speak candidly without being labelled is in the gutter.

I agree with all you have said accept the paraphrasing of Oscar Wilde in the context you have used it.
For me one of the biggest misconceptions is people confusing Patriotism with Nationalism, that’s like saying being far right makes you a Nazi or being far left makes you a Communist, neither are true. 
I am patriotic and definitely not a nationalist, and the people you speak of are not patriotic they are nationalists, so please don’t try and align one with the other because you are insulting me for being patriotic and calling me a nationalist, which I believe Wilde wasn’t trying to do. So I would be interested to know why you used those words in the context of this debate?

If he comes in and is 75% of the player he was at Leeds then it's a brilliant signing. 
If we had money to spend I would be questioning why we didn't get Adam Wharton from Blackburn who will probably go the euros. 
 
Fact is we are unable to spend money and he along with Barkley represents very smart business. 

What a lovely fella. All the best Kev - get well soon mate.

"Far right".... to me that is calling a £5 cup of coffee a complete disgrace in the cost of living crisis.  You need a shopping trip to Aldi to realise that "the scale has changed"... a previous £70 shopping trip now costs £120. 
What used to be considered far right is now right or just right of centre due to the left hand side of the scale shifting so much. 
an interesting read that captures my thoughts on this.

I used to think of myself as left, now I believe that is a recipe for disaster. The ultra woke behaviour is making people align themselves to people who will take people who just want "fairness" into very dark territory. 

As much as you think yesterday was all about racism's, skin heads, hooligans etc........ no... it wasn't.  It had a huge population of people who have frankly had enough of the way the country is being run.  Families out singing sweet Caroline - minimal arrests, and yeah - it's played right into to the ultra far rights hands who just need to tweak their ways to being less thuggish to attract new supporters.
When you see people like Joey Barton, Laurence "billy piper" getting more of a voice then the people governing the country need to take urgent action. 
 

Simon Jordan called Textor a very impressive operator - something along those lines.

He's 28 mate.... not 32. 
 
He's got min 4 years too level footy left in him possibly longer based on less have time from 26-28.
 

I can.
Absolutely no balance.
the country has a problem with thick, gammon knuckleheads who believe that every person who enters the country is taking the jobs they never intended to work themselves.
the country also has a problem with the fact that it is being changed in its values and culture in order to respect the values and culture of others..... there will be many people like myself who believe in diversity - but not at the expense of removing the traces of our traditions. 
You see.... not many people are able to recognise the issues that both sides see. They are too busy trying to cookie cut their views to align with the side they like to think of themselves as being. 
Because the country has an issue with virtue signallers everywhere, "listen to my totally disingenuous beliefs that I'm happy to air cos I'm not affected but as soon as I am I would no doubt go quiet"..... mr Gary "Qatar" Lineker for example. Filling his 3 litre V8 merc up the week he was backing just stop oil protesters..... bellend.

He covered 15k for England vs Denmark. No one made more tackles.
Was massively important to bielsa. Unless he's lost his interest in the game I don't think we have issues there 

You mean like with dele, Gomes, Holgate, Keane, gbamin....
£70m on transfer fees there too.
i think on a 1 year deal at a reduced wages for a 30 cap England international is a minimal risk. 
 
its ok we've got Maupay to come back... £15m fee wasted on him. 

Unless it turns out that Phillips is addicted to sleeping tablets and needs to address serious mental health issues that stems from abuse then I don't think it's a fair comparison.

The likelihood is that City will choose a club that will get the best from him and give him guaranteed time.
They already got a £6m loan fee for him and his market value is probably £10m as it stands.  A good season that sees him play like he did for Leeds will enable city to recoup a big chunk of the money and also do the right thing by the player.
city need to ensure that potential players don't look at the likes of Cole palmer and Phillips and think "nah not for me going there".... city need to send a message out that they will look after players. 
 
I can see us paying 50% of wages and a small loan fee. 

Shukes everyone's entitled to an opinion but it's difficult to debate  a film with someone who's only seen the middle 15 minutes 👍

Ding dong....... times up fuckers. Take your black baseball caps and fook off. 

No but I've watched enough of him over the course of his career from England games, bielsa ball. 
 
im not judging him on his last 2 years which is frankly ridiculous. Arteta, Pienaar, Gomes, - all struggled massively till they came to us on loan and looked brilliant.

The only way we would take this deal is if it had a minimal or no fee attached and City covered some of his wages. 
They are stuck with an expensive problem with four years left on his contract. 
They don’t need to bring money in to balance the books, they just want him out of there and in the shop window. 
That’s our best bet of picking him up and comes with no risk. 
 
If it’s full wages being paid and a £6m loan fee then it won’t happen anyway. 
 
The Kalvin Phillips who played for Leeds is an upgrade on what we’ve had from Onana this season, getting the player here and to that level again is the difficult part. 

777 have got no chance. Far too many conditions to reach for them.  All the news about business going under etc says to me that the EPL have done us a huge favour - intentionally or not.
