I have been amazed at how much assumed superstardom is being hurled around abour Lamine Yamal. The commentators seem to have arrived with praise lists & use it all, even pointing out how close he came to being fantastic if he'd been a tad more fortunate. He was voted 'PoM' v Belgium despite losing the ball 23 times. I'm not saying he won't go on to be a superstar, but he's some way short at the moment.

I have a view, re. Taylor. No insider ITK. could be entirely wrong, but sometimes a player fails a test & gets an extended playing suspension but it's not broadcast to the World. Just wondering out loud. Having missed a year & returning at a higher level he has a task on his hands though.

Tell you what, if you think 99% of people understand the difference between "Head Coach" and 'Manager" you're greatly mistaken. Tje NHS analogy, I assume you or someone close works there, means you've swallowed the book of excuses. There is a similarity though. For both, no matter how much money they're given they'll always want more.

... as Dan Nlundulu signed for an obscure FC Petrolul Ploiești in the Romanian 'super league'. One dreads to think.

Oooh, fckg Hell !

Yep. I get all that. Personally I'd risk it, not all would & I'm not fighting anyone. What, for me, he did show is the Gulf between the two levels.

Notwithstanding his injury I'd like to see CB-T back.

When Bolton were at their very nadir Everton & Stretford waved some loan fees we owed them, I suspect other things too that aren't as well known. There was no need to do that ... not sure why someone wouldn't if able to but it was their gift to us. I'd hope we would do similar if ever in a position to (except for Wigan, obviously).

Is this an attempt to show yourself as meanly rational and hard nosed ?

Yep. Of course Brighton will have other options. As will the lad himself. Loan or Sell ? Home or Abroad ? If sell, what fee ? But I'd love him back.

You are Mr. Wilkins Micawber and I claim my £20.

Cheeky twats, Bristol City. So, a couple of giant Victorian Plumbing 'derbies' next season. The tension can be felt already.

Lamine Yamal. Clearly will go far but fckg Danny Murphy is talking him up like he's Pele, Maradona & Messi rolled into one.

Fair point. I misread it. Sounds a bit Wiganish ... or Blackpool. The point remains though.
