Johnnyrotten Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 29 minutes ago, Dr. Feelgood said: I'm told, by a notoriously unreliable, knee-jerk, guy .... Duck Egg knows him well ... that we're about to sign a centre-back from Barrow. Obviously, I've never heard of Matt Platt but he has an alluringly alliterative name. 24, 6' and played 80 games for Barrow in the past 2½ years. So solid enough but, presumably, a squad player. Nowt wrong with that I guess. Presumably IE signed him for Barrow, so he must know if he's capable of the step up (we'll forget about Tom White). Had a few years at Blackburn without getting in first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 No idea on Matty Platty but centre half is where IMO an experienced head would be brilliant. Help develop the others as well as make a bit more solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t know either. He’s only young though, 21 years old and very exciting talent with many strings to his bow. Drogba didn’t score a huge amount compared to some legendary PL strikers but he did score in big moments for them which has put him up there with the biggest names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern won all 7, scoring 19. 23 in 16 starts in the Champions League. Not sure if he can do it on a rainy night in Bolton Stoke Burnley though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Steejay Posted May 10, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Apparently, Rudiger will be paid £345,000 per week by Real. No wonder Chelsea are letting him drift. Edited May 10, 2022 by Steejay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that’s £16m for the 4 years. Throw in a signing on fee, agent fee and it’s probably £30m Nothing to them. Going to be the same for MBappe, could happily pay him £500k a week but they don’t have to pay a fee. Clever business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Beevers made available for transfer by Peterborough. Would be giving him a wide berth now at 32 and having struggled whenever at Championship level. A good un for us in our promotion season under Parkinson nonetheless. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61385278 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s becoming more and more frequent. Clubs are telling agents get their clients to run down their contracts and we’ll double their wages. Juventus have been doing it for years.
