Patrick Bamford and George Saville; any good?

Patrick Bamford and George Saville; any good?

I like Bamford from what I've seen from him.

@Buckaroo I don't know... Phil Neville and Rio Ferdinand...

Bamford scored some important goals for us last season, but he doesn't always seem to put all his effort into the team cause. He's a bit of a luxury player.

We also didn't play 442 and he isn't strong enough to play as a target man so that hindered his opportunities in our starting XI.

Speaking of Saville... something from Millwall to Leeds for this weekend

Some weird smile enhancer thing...

supposed to be in for memphis depay, more expensive version of townsend, opposite sided winger who wants to cut inside and have a crack on goal... £15m though, and always loathe to buy a player off of a strong world cup, price is ratcheted up...

You not throwing Chadli in the mix?

Useless WC PL Stats.

You not throwing Chadli in the mix?

not sure how long Chadli will be around. If you believe the press, pretty much everyone who we brought last season will be out the door this..

£5.5 million for a Peterborough player?

you probably all know this but Mclaren, new three year deal you say..

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/07/steve-mcclaren-commits-derby-county-three-year-contract

think he'll stay to the end of it?

C'mon you re-eds

I think that deal was signed a while back, but the owners have been leaking good news stories over the course of the summer just in case we had any bad news to gloss over. I certainly heard rumours about it a few weeks ago.

So far things are working well. It's a great coaching team and things have clicked in place nicely. Steele is probably one of the best goalkeeping coaches in the world and Moyes was a twat for letting him leave Old Trafford. If we get promoted this season then he'll more than likely be here for the three years or maybe longer. If we fall short of promotion then I guess there will be questions asked of him again. I think McClaren is great tactically, but he's made errors with signings in the past. We have (not the) Chris Evans and Sam Rush handling these matters for us now and they are also doing their jobs well.

Great, a new belm.

This gaff's going to be belm central soon enough.

A poem in an early-twentieth-century school textbook runs:

"Oho!" said the pot to the kettle;
"You are dirty and ugly and black!
Sure no one would think you were metal,
Except when you're given a crack."

"Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot;
"'Tis your own dirty image you see;
For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –
That your blackness is mirrored in me."

—Maxwell's Elementary Grammar, 1904

Now, does anyone know how that poem can be translated substituting the pot with a head lice?

This gaff's going to be belm central soon enough.

Sooner than even you had imagined.

I had that clown on ignore.
Sexism/racism aren't really my thing.
Xenophobia's different.

forum is currently a free for all, nothing is excluded, nothing is ignored, for the football thread to flourish, more fans need to join the fold. If someone says something stupid, educate them, don't just call them a name and run away...
