    We can't get Troy Parrot that will mean we will have Green Parrot playing together. 
    If you include Green’s initial it’ll be A Green Parrot. 

    Young Fish Costa Fortune
    A Green Parrot
  • So we’ve been linked with:
    Idah
    Parrot
    Kean
    Pogba
    Maddison
    Mowatt
    Gnanduillet
    Clarke

    From that list I would like Parrot, Pogba, Maddison and Mowatt. I think we’ll end up with Idah, Pogba, Maddison and someone who hasn’t been mentioned.
    How much have people seen of this Pogba actually playing to make an informed decision on whether we want to sign him or not?

    Genuine question - I havent a clue what kind of player he is or where he plays. I havent even got an Atlanta United friend to refer to.

    I was more relying on my St Etienne friends. 

    Seriously he is a free agent who is training with the U23's. We can sign him after Friday if he impresses.

    Saw him play a couple of times in the Europa League and he seemed to hold his own. And I’ve had a look on Atlanta United twitter and they all seemed to be a bit lost as to why Atlanta let him go. I know the MLS isn’t the highest quality league but Atlanta are one of the better teams. How many players in The Championship can say they’ve played in The Europa League? I know that doesn’t necessarily mean much but he must have something about him

    My concerns would be, who would play on the wing, and without trying to ruffle anyone's feathers, the North stand can turn against players really quickly and might give them the bird. Young Parrot may come on higher Perches, and I don't want to repeat myself and I don't want to repeat myself but...

    Nixon. Any reason why you can't write normally? In proper sentences. Annoys me. You're usually wrong. Shut up.
    Because the S*n is predominantly aimed at an audience that has a lower level of reading comprehension, and its journalists have to write for those with an average reading age of about eight. So shorter, simpler phrases are desired.

    (Sort of source here, but it's something I looked for to verify something I'd heard from my Government and Politics teacher a few years back: https://www.see-a-voice.org/marketing-ad/effective-communication/readability/ )

    In any case, as every football fan should attempt to do, I avoid the S*n directly whenever I can - don't give the website clicks, or generate the article via DoNotLink so it doesn't get ad revenue/appear higher up in search engines.

    With Kane out for the foreseeable I'd have thought Spurs would want to keep Parrett, just in case.
    You can say that again.

    Maybe he shouldn’t have been holding out for such a high amount that no club was ever willing to pay him.

    He’s a very talented player and one we would like in the team, they are working back on the deal this week.

    But I hope if he does sign, Bowyer sorts out his work rate and attitude. Not to mention the rest of the players will not stand for any kind of laziness or poor attitude within the group.

    Really?
    He hit the ball along the ground, down the centre. The goalie dived, but saved it with his foot.
    My 92 year old wheel chair bound mother in law, would have saved it, whilst asleep :smile:

    Does turning down an offer from Cafc first and then Birmingham mean that Maddison is asking for too much money to move to the Capital or the second city ?

    I accept Maddison could reside in Gillingham and live in Mobile accomodation. (Other dubious addresses are available in Kent)

    Passes the CL height test 6' 6" but she is only 4' 6" sitting up in the wheel chair.
