Hound Well Laurent would be the obvious one. Probably along with Rino then I suspect Incey has added an extra 1 or 2 for effect :)

Morro is probably very unlikely but just about possible...

Struggling to think who else Ince would have worked with. Doesn’t really apply to Drinkwater...

Perhaps a sneaky 4d chess shot across the bows of a couple agitating for a Jan move as well.

Is anyone agitating for a move? Joao maybe but hes gone in the summer anyway, I reckon.

I think it's a nudge to the likes of Meite who may be entering contract negotiations in the next couple of months. Is that extra £3k a week elsewhere really worth it?

Yeah not sure Morro had much of a say into whether he was leaving or not, doubt he got more money either

But yeah I expect it’s a bit of Ince playing some games here as well. I like the prioritisation of team spirit etc. I’m guessing from the comments that this is what Ejaria actually did wrong - prob being sulky and refusing to join in or something

For Morro, I could see him being potentially offered a big pay cut and going elsewhere for a smaller paycut, but.its unlikely. I get the feeling he wasn't offered anything.

Ejaria has never really looked part of the 'group'. Fine if you deliver, but Royal Mail make him look bad.

In what way could Ilkeston ever be categorised as Southern?

Whenever I hear Lita’s name I always get the visuals to go with it…



15 years now since the tape?

I get that some clubs might be in the cusp of the boundaries for Northern and Southern leagues but none of these are that close.

I've just about got used to Brackley and Banbury being in the North! But if thats the cusp, it's even more ridiculous to think Ilkeston is South!

Just the utter weirdness of league constitution, poor Gloucester have to pretty much make the same journey up the M5 every other week rather than get to play the likes of Bath and Chippenham in what would probably be decent local derbies for them.

Mo Barrow has left Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors to join Al-Ahli Saudi. Probably not earning quite the same as Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro at Al-Nassr though.

Beautifully placed goal from Jon Swift last night with his LEFT foot.

It hasn't been all plain sailing for him at WBA but I would like to see him make it to the Premier League at some time in his career, and preferably with good players around him, to see if he can hold his own at that level.
As with Olise, I think he is made for Premier League football rather than the rough and tumble of lower league stuff.

I'm assuming Palace fans are as angry about that as a not insignificant proportion of Reading fans used to be?

I do hope so

Interesting to see he is playing 90mins regularly for them now whilst the likes of Eze are on the bench

Jose Gomes has Marítimo in the relegation zone in Portugal. They have spent the past 40 years in the top division.

I hadn't even noticed that he left them 2 1/2 years ago, managed 3 other clubs since and now gone back to them again :lol:
