I still feel we should have bought another defender in the transfer window but there's not much that can be done about it now. Hopefully we will have a fit & healthy RB for our next game?!?! No JJ experiments................. :evil:

Make that two defenders in January if Manolas' new contract has a €30M release clause. Madness :evil: :evil: :shock: :roll:

I'm here!

Just in 'International Break' hibernation mode ;)

Agree that the reported release clause in Manolas' contract is ridiculous, certainly considering the recent inflation of transfer fees.... :evil:

Interesting to note that Castan's been mentioned a few times now by Monchi, will wait to see if he gets much playing time though....

ETA: Wowsers my avatar pic is large! :lol: (will leave it there for posterity then reduce soon enough...)

Great to hear that Myles.

BTW a very minor thing (and I know you'll be mad busy working on various fixes....), but I'm pretty sure when I registered then clicked on the email link to log in for the 1st time it auto-completed my email address in the 1st field instead of my required Username. Not sure if this can be resolved, but wanted to point it out just in case it stops other users (whether returning from the old site or brand new) from logging in for the 1st time.

Place would not be the same without him, he's like a wise old granddad.

Hey now! Wise old grandad? lol Me and Er Pupone.....

Colorado was very nice. Love the mountains. Although the beating Spain gave Italia pissed me off royally

Good to see Manolas resigned, but only 30 mill release clause in today's market?? :o

I am sick of release clauses. Wair, let's slap a 1 billion release clause on LeBron James....

stupid

I did say wise. :P

I would love to see the mountains in Colorado.
Spain have been very good to be fair. In that particular match Isco was outstanding and made Veratti look like a plumber who plays for San Marino. I would say it was between them, France and Brazil for the world cup. Even though France just drew with Luxembourg.. :lol: But if Scotland manage to get there, we will put fear into everyone. :twisted:

for what LeBron is worth to the whole of Ohio I'd say more like $1 Trillion.

True. LeBron and Ohio State football are about it for the state of Ohio.

Yeah, Dels, you did say wise..... Not sure if that fits me though :D

The mountains in Colorado are fantastic. It really is a wonderful place. The only kind of downer was that there are a lot of wildfires going on out west right now and the smoke was pretty bad and hazy. Now there are hurricane warnings in Florida where my father and daughter live. madness....

As for Roma, hope to see Florenzi in tip top shape soon. And Totti is going for his coaching creds. Excellent smithers

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa back to nearly full strength on the thread. 8-)

Samp in good form so another tough match on Saturday evening but hopefully we should win?!?! A fit RB (Florenzi) would help and Schick should start so maybe a few more goals scored & less conceded. Fingers crossed etc

Same sentiments TR, I hope everyone stays safe from the storms expected over the Italian peninsular this weekend.

At least Schick will hopefully be fit for his return to Genoa in January so one small positive from the postponement.

I hope everything goes as well as can be expected and your family stay safe. The same sentiment goes to everyone affected by Irma & Jose wherever they are.

Flash flooding in Rome as well so fingers crossed everyone is safe there.

As of this afternoon my dad was fine but had lost power but my daughter did have power at her crib. Haven't heard from them since this afternoon. Which with them is probably a good thing. I would hear from them quick if something bad happened

Thanks everyone. They are fine, just a lot of cleanup to do. Dad still has no power but my daughter does/

Can Roma get a result tomorrow? I hope so but am a tad pessimistic.

Much more optimistic that the Bhoys can get a win over PSG at Parkhead tomorrow....... :o :lol:
