None of these ITK idiots, are sources. Cast a net far an wide, you'll eventually get something, and the fools drink it in.
I'd completely forgotten about Souza
I agree. Everyone is happy with RDZ & we know he has left clubs in the past after arguments with the Club officials. So why are the names linked with us ones that we were after before he came. I do hope the next signing is an RDZ choice or we could be losing RDZ during his contract and start again.
I dunno if we should be doing any business with City just yet if the FFP rumours are true. If this is the summer that sees them get pumped they might be forced to do stuff they don't want to do.
If RDZ wants Savinho then fine, but we shouldn't be paying over the odds based on what he's shown the league over two seasons.

If those steel plates are shifting under the weight of 22 players, then that is an engineering fuck up of catastrophic proportions, considering they weigh 3000 tonnes each. They're covering bases to show fans they're being listened to I'd wager.
Scrimping should be a thing of the past. We need to get recruits in for a whole preseasonto give them, and the manager the best start possible.
Robertson hasn't been injured since 23/24 so pls explain how he is a "crock"......?
Honestly I dont think its totally crazy or about weight or shifting plates. But there could be a tiny tiny issue regards the give. Say theres slightly more push back on impact with the surface could repetitive running on it landing on it put increases strain on muscles and tendons. Its amazing tiny issues can become bigger cumulative ones. I think its worth investigating if only because Real Madrid have had an injury spike and have the same set up.
Jesus christ.
Lionel Messi himself has probably forgotten about this incident.
Why you still remember it is ridiculous.
I agree with your sentiment, but no way De Zerbi accepts players he doesn't want.
My thinking here is, we've essentially said to RDZ, we have two free signings ready to go which we've been working on for 6 months and they won't affect our transfer budget, so won't affect any other potential incomings, do you still want them? and RDZ has said yes lets bring them in.
I don't see any reason why he wouldn't want Robertson and Senesi in the squad for next season, especially as they are costing nothing in terms of a transfer fee. So I wouldn't read too much into it.
do we think there's any possibility of them tearing out the retractable pitch even if they found there was a problem?
Yep, he’s a wingback in a 5 really. Can get away with it more in a back 4 if he’s playing for a possession dominant team who spend more time camped in the oppositions’ final third.
Honestly, if 3k tonne plates are shifting over the weight of footballers, that is insanely dangerous and only a matter of time before they collapse. They're not designed to shift, that indicates the mechanics supporting the plates are defective.
So if it is the pitch, and it's flexing, we'll in Wembley again for a while.
Ex players are saying that the medical team isn't fit for purpose and doesn't have the budget that having hundreds of millions of £, talent warrants. They said it wasn't that they were incompetent, rather they were criminally under resourced. We had normal-ish injuries with the pitch for the first 3/4 years, now all of a sudden we're getting ridiculous injuries.
The surface is another question, if it's too soft, it can cause studs to get stuck. But injuries like ACL's aren't degenerative, barring a tiny, tiny % of cases, they are impact/momentary issues.
I think the inquest needs to go back to the start of Angie's first season, because since that November/December, that was the shift.
That would be very expensive and time consuming. But if the plates were shifting unexpectedly, I don't see that they'd have a choice.
