Scowen I reckon, mind I'd like to see a 4-3-3 sometimes with Neil in the centre or embleton Parkinson doesn't seem adaptable though

Agreed. A midfield of Scowen, Power and Neil as the attacking midfielder would be decent. We've got good central defenders now, who could play as a back four. Trouble is we haven't got any proper full backs.

Slagging Barnes is shit mind. Decent bloke who cares for and has spent a big part of his career focused on SAFC.

Very true mate.
The fact is most of the people slagging him off, can you imagine if they were at a swanky meeting to do with work at a posh hotel, in walks SD.
You end up having a civilised conversation with, I know most of us would like to say we'd tell him to fuck off but if we are honest we wouldn't because we are in a posh hotel and we are nice people.
So we are having a conversation about his time at the club and he says look im desperate to get out, I'm in negotiations to sell the club there is an NDA in place and I'm hopeful the takeover will happen before the start of the season if not sooner.
I can guarantee if that was to happen to them instead of Barnes, they wouldn't have gotten out of the hotel before they were on here telling everyone.
Barnes has forwarded the information he was given the timescale is what he would have been told, but that just shows SDs incompetence at how quickly things can work not Barnes.
The whole things with blaming Barnes is little kids throwing their f***ing toys out the pram because they aren't getting what they want when they want it.
Just relax and chill out it will happen when it happens

Not sure if he has a Swiss passport, or if that was the case that his caps for Kosovo would even count toward his eligibility?

Just saw the other day someone saying its be hard for him to get a work permit post January, once his contract had expired.

He does as about 20 people have since pointed out to me

I'm just going to assume that current eu players will be treated as current non-eu players are treated now. In which case as his caps wouldnt count anyway as Kosovo arent ranked high enough. It would be based on other criteria such as our division, how many games hes played for us, the fee we paid and his wages. Get four points and you're granted a work permit.. I suspect the league will add a provision to these rules where you automatically get 4 points if you were here before brexit otherwise there'll be hell on.

Compensation is payable, but the amount is lower than for a transfer between two English clubs

Thats solidarity payments which is slightly different and would be negligible. They're part of every transfer not just bosmans

im more surprised they hace actually paid money.

Sounds like its the "solidarity payments" which are certainly not significant

To be fair that's why I said "maybe he's doing that in the background" in the part of my post you put in bold I know he might be asking, it's just seeing the replies and things he's giving on twitter (someone asking if he had an update and him saying "if only" and things) it doesn't sound like he's particularly chasing. Maybe he is, but I'd have thought you'd say something along the lines of "not at the minute, but I'm trying to get an update" just to keep people quiet if nowt else!

I understand what you are saying, big problem is, if you start to give explanations, people jump on that explanation to give another theory

Aye, probably right there tbf

What’s your “ pretendy takeover”song?

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

“significant training compensation package was agreed with Swiss club

A few balls?

On a serious note, what on earth could Storey stand to gain from being made to look an absolute tit in front of the world? He's already got very questionable business acumen and by all accounts, and judging by his tweets, a very questionable outlook / state of mind. Surely, if we have a takeover go through that doesn't involve Storey, the rest of the world know to basically ignore him when he starts to spout rubbish online. What does any of this do for him?
People saying the exposure of his product etc, but he's got less than 10,000 twitter followers, and his company has only 21,000 followers. People haven't flocked to follow him or to buy his product.

Your problem here is that you are thinking rationally like a sane person. William Storey is neither rational or sane. You just have to look at him to see that.

 

[Dilligaf60]

None of our players have any

This would suggest otherwise but I know what you’re saying. We lack a clear leader out there. Someone big enough and feared/respected enough to kick these fuckers into gear. Every team needs one.

If Riv and others have been given some info that something is happening, something will be happening, they don't strike me as bullshitters. It's just going slower than some would like but no one ever put a timeframe on this, it'll happen when it happens. If it doesn't they've hit a snag. That's life unfortunately, I just hope the snag isn't Donald.

Agree, I think they post info they get in good faith, none of us are privvy to the buying of a football club so we don't know how long these things take. Some people seem to be expecting hourly updates , the last thing the people involved will want is every step being played out in the public eye

Well I was close

TBF, about a third of the World doesn’t recognise Kosovo so to them he was born in Serbia.

I’m not too concerned keeper wise. We are in better nick now than when We had camp and Steele. Our defence is certainly more robust so I’m hoping our keepers won’t have too much to do.

Those two must have been our worst ever keepers with a nod to McDonagh.
Matthews and Burge look like they have both got a clanger in them but hopefully you’re right about our defence shielding them well.

Camp comes out on top but McDonagh splits them and edges out Steele IMO.

Hasn’t done Sheffield Utd any harm. Nothing wrong with the formation, needs a better centre forward and central midfielder to be really effective.

Which we don't have.

There is no takeover

Just been reading on Twitter he spoke with Lorik Cana who helped with his decision to sign for us.

Only "some" things that were good. The rest was probably shite.

 

[Mboma]

Happy with this signing like, it shows someone (Jones probably) is out there looking at the wider picture, unlike Coton & Co.

 

[Plank]

What a f***ing signing man. Holy shit.
