Transfer rumours !

If you're watching on Sky+ press pause and wait a second before pressing play. Being a second or two behind the live play will give you that authentic Emile Heskey viewpoint.


A new Mr Men character has been suggested, based on Emile Heskey. 

Mr Sitter.

Why are you defending a player taking £20,000 a week from us and is refusing to move on even though he could be playing football for the last years of his career?

He's the definition of an 'utter ponce' yet you're making him out to be some sort of tragic hero, did Mavies pass you on to Andrews or something? There's clearly another angle to your ponce loving.

This isn't an argument about Andrews, I agree he is an utter ponce for not moving on. But let's be honest, if your boss came to you today and said he wants you to move to a rival firm on half the wages would you go?

This argument is about Freedman's attitude to the player and players in general. Fine to try and move them on, but why freeze him out of the squad? He was poor in a white shirt prior to his move to Brighton - but he clearly did something right at Brighton, so shouldn't he be given a chance to prove himself seeing as we have to pay him anyway?

It's fine to try and move him on, but just in case they can't he should be training and playing with the first team squad. What have they got to lose by doing this? Fuck all is the answer.

He is a midfielder, let's hope all priority is looking for a striker.

I think you're correct here RT. What's more this patience will need to extend into the season. If he brings in a few more new faces and ships out some of the current squad- the team may well be virtually unrecognisable in the first few games. Given that pre season friendlies aren't much of a guide I imagine that it will take at least half a dozen genuinely competitive games before they bed down.

Lets not hang Dougie if there's a slow start to the season.
