Reply | London Standard say we're holding out for ÂŁ40m

Very true. When you are the most creative player in a weak side, you never get any space, as all the defenders are focused on you.
When you are a creative player in a side who have threats all over the place it is just much easier.
He’s young, English and highly talented. He’s definitely PL quality. £40m seems quite reasonable to me. But I’d much rather he stayed for another year [Post edited 16 Jul 13:20]

It will remain a mystery to me how he never got a kick at Wednesday (having struggled to find a club at all), joined us … and was just sensational for a season and a half. |

I always start by looking on YouTube. A quick search suggests there are loads of videos. Hopefully one matches your model |

Thread | Humphreys is 21, Baggott is 22
at 09:29 14 Jul 2025
Baggott has never played higher than league one.
Humphreys has played 3 times in the Championship, 61 times in league one.
We are looking for players who have a fighting chance of getting game time should we be promoted back to the PL.
If these two weren’t on our books would they even be on our radar?
Is them being under contract with us and constantly being loaned out doing them any good?
I’ve seen nothing of Baggott, and little of Humphreys, but I can’t help feeling the club has moved to a level where a parting of the ways might be best for all sides.
What do those who have seen more of them think? |

I can see us having fewer signings than have been suggested.
A striker. Another central midfielder.
That could well be it |

How is Johnson leaving? He’s played 90 games in the Premier League and none in the Championship?
We’ve seen how very good Championship players have struggled to make much impression on the Premier League. I have high hopes that Johnson will do very well for us next season.
Or are you imagining he’ll move back to the PL? |

I dunno.
If he wants to leave to get regular first team football … doesn’t his exemplary attitude since day one of being here deserve that? |

Sounds like the issue isn’t really the fee. The issue is whether he wants to join us. |

Reply | How would you feel about a UK Identity Card?
at 13:57 11 Jul 2025
The best argument I heard was having an (electronic) "right-to-work" card. This could be part of the new gov.uk app.
Then, when you went to an employer and they asked if you were allowed to work in the UK, you'd show them the card and you are allowed to work.
The problem isn't entirely that rogue employers don't bother checking. It is at least as much that papers can be forged ... and also that employers don't know what do look for.
The rules governing who has the right to work in the UK are actually pretty complicated. If someone who isn't a British passport holder is over here, how do you know that they can work here? How long can they work for? They can produce papers from some government departments, but would you know if they are legit? Would a small business?
At the moment the cost of evaluating the application is passed onto the business and if they make an honest mistake they are on the hook for huge fine. We *do* clamp down on this.
Instead if we moved the validation of people's right-to-work to a central body they'd easily know whether the paperwork was genuine and sufficient. It would also be easy for any British citizen to get a card. They'd just enter their NI number of passport or whatever.
This isn't really a UK identity card, but every job I've started has required me to show my passport and/or driving license so it is no different really. |

Reply | any Leftfield fans out there....?
at 21:03 9 Jul 2025
Nice. I’ve not seen either of them.
The local record shop near me had a big display when dubno… came out, and I bought in on their recommendation. They weren’t wrong.
I quite like Leftfield’s latest to be fair, although Underworld have gone off in a direction I’m not a fan of at all. |

Reply | Poor old EADT
at 10:42 9 Jul 2025
This idea of football news over the summer is somewhat new.
I remember the EADT used (wisely) give up on football coverage in June in years gone by (think Burley's time, and probably significantly more recently than that). |

For a fixed term contract? I’m doubtful. Anyway, that would be different to them continuing to pay his salary. Death in service is paid as a lump sum, directly to the next if kin. |
