Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 15:58 - Aug 27 by Lblock | I'm not saying I'd have the fella here.... I certainly wouldn't. But....... That is the other end of the spectrum to Le Shrug so far. Tells us that for Saturday we need to do the three basic things better than the opposition (Janet and John for footballers) 1. Run more 2. Battle more 3. Score more Oh......... |
Agree. I cannot stand that attention seeking little prat but an 'environment and culture of out-working and out-running' the opposition sounds like a dystopian paradise. Thong bikinis only. Air con in the bar. Draught beer. Sizzling King Prawn McCoys. Smoking doesn't damage your body. And a Rangers side that out works the opposition. Pinch me. |  | |  |

Thought he was signing for us? I’m sure someone posted ITK that he was coming here? |  | |  |

Every time I’ve seen him (not many admittedly) he’s looked a bit dodgy. Sheff U played Choudhury there and he’s worse than crap. |  | |  |

Think they’ve pretty much done £100m in sales before they get to the parachute payment. |  | |  |

Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 15:37 - Aug 28 by NorthantsHoop | The worrying thing is will our bloke have our lot fired up, if we go all passive like we tend to after about 20 mins at home, Jones and his lot will have a field day. Stephan may just be a bit too nice for the Championship and English football in general and if the team does not go at it on Saturday maybe more trouble ahead. Got to send the team out to win the game not to try and not lose, been a problem at home for a long while now and that is why Loftus Road has been seen as a bit soft, when it used to be a hard place to come for a win. |
You certainly can't imagine Jones being told who to select in goal. |  | |  |

True , That kid has just signed for a premier league club for West Ham for 42 million . That’s burst my Edwards bubble . |  | |  |

It’s sick really isn’t it? We’re on our knees praying somebody buys Varane for £8m, Southampton win 2 games all season and flog the midfielder who played in it for 50m. |  | |  |

It was me. We definitely asked about him a couple of months ago. He had been told by Chelsea that's it. His family wanted him to stay local, in London, so we seemed a good move. But then Jimmy signed up for more torture, so that was that. |  |

I'm yet to be convinced on how judicious it is to buy players from newly relegated teams. It's easier to stand out when you're surrounded by the mediocre, self-belief may be low, etc etc |  |

I know it’s hardly a new phenomenon but some of the fees this summer have been even more bizarre than usual. £42m paid by Brentford for Dango Outtara, £40m for Jacob Ramsey, £55m for Kudus from West Ham. We were saying 25 years ago it was getting out of control and the bubble would surely burst but if anything it’s accelerating, if bubbles can accelerate. |  | |  |

Couldn’t agree more. Southampton were abysmal last season . The 2nd worst premier leauge team ever . Yet they’re raking in millions. Even they must be mystified . Mind you that charlatan Martin was in charge for quite a while so failure was inevitable. |  | |  |

We were on our knees the whole of pre-season begging the gods for the sell-on fee for an Eze transfer but at 60m if not for an injury Arsenal wouldn’t even bulge Now these lesser know players (well at least to me) are going for 40, 50m without a blink of an eye |  |

Norwegian strikers are worth big money at the moment: Haaland, Sørloth, Strand Larsen, Nusa and now this guy. Not many countries in world football will have better strikers than them at the moment. |  | |  |

One place up for grabs for EPL - let them have it but the championship as spectacle has been ruined by the EPL. mad stuff. |  | |  |
