Great summary Ed. I must say, Casillas is a class act with that video.

I still struggle to understand what clubs see in Tom Ince.

{Ed001's Note - thank you and you are not the only one with regards to Ince. Terrible player, decent technically but such an arrogant tit he thinks he is world class and lacks the intelligence to make the most out of the little talent he possesses.}

Morning Ed001,

I hope you are well and keeping out of this crazy Dubai heat! It's only my first summer here and I have no idea how you have managed to live here long term when the weather is like this!

Anyways, good little read that as always.

I take it you aren't the biggest Tom Ince fan? Is his Dad still micromanaging his career?

Also the winner so far of these summer transfers is surely Jorges Mendes. How many transfers has he been involved in now with Moutinho? He much be earning some seriously big bucks (especially with the Ronaldo transfer) . Was there ever any conclusions as to whether his involvement with Wolves is against the rules?

Red Sandman.

{Ed001's Note - it is not really an issue for me the heat - just stay indoors as much as possible. You will find after a few years you start finding it cold in winter and not as unbearable in the summer.

Can't stand Tom Ince, he is one of those players that needs a slap and taking down a peg or 8. He has some talent but nothing like as much as he thinks he has. His dad is still very involved yes.

Mendes involvement was passed as ok by the EFL but the Premier League will have to clear it as well now.}

'He has some talent'

A bit too generous there Ed mate ;)

Completely agree about him though, I don't know who he thinks he is. If he thought more about football instead of himself maybe he could've been a decent player but he's a big head who thinks he's it! little turd.

{Ed001's Note - it is very difficult to like him, he struts around the pitch but does absolutely nothing for the team.}

Morning Ed

Great read as always! I think Roma have snapped up a great replacement goalkeeper in Olsen. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a much coveted goalkeeper in the next 1-2 seasons.

{Ed001's Note - I am not convinced on that, he is 28 or so now and so should be around about peak. I am not convinced he is all that great either. Good, very good in fact, but I think he is way off great. Glad you enjoyed though.}

Thanks for that Ed001.

You missed out the 'h' when describing Stoke's new 'winger' ;-)

I'll be interested to see how Olsen does at Roma, although relative to other GK moves (including Alisson to us), he seems like a bit of a bargain!

Interested in your view on GKs. If, as we suspect, both Migs and Karius leave the club, either permanently or on loan, who would you go for as a No 2?

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea, no back up keeper is worth buying really, as they have to have absolutely no ambition to be keen on being a back up in the first place.}

Thanks ed, out of interest what would roma sue bordeax over, i thought this type of guzzumping was a common part of football.

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea mate. Monchi said they are looking into it, but I have no idea why.}

Cheers Ed. So am I basically right in thinking that Roma are miffed because Bordeaux made them announce the deal and then Barcelona stepped in afterwards and Roma were made to look foolish?

Whatever the circumstances its a bit unprofessional, considering it would only been for a couple of million more, and assuming payment terms weren't a lot more favourable. I bet this sort of thing happens all the time though, just without anything being announced.

{Ed001's Note - I really do not know why Roma are so bothered, it happens.}

Yeah the only 'keepers who might want to come in as backup to Alisson are probably ones with an expiring contract who fancy a bit of job security. Someone like Adrián would be fine and I reckon he'll only be backup to Fabianski anyway. John Ruddy at Wolves is also going to be usurped by Rui, although I'm not a big Ruddy fan. Then there's that De Gea lad who could do a good job as backup and would look nice on our bench. (whoever we get I'm glad at least that it won't be Rob Green)

Striker Dominic Telford has left Stoke City on a free transfer to join Bury on a free transfer.

Was it a free transfer by any chance ed1? ;) jkjk

Love the lil digs at aqualani and tom ince though haha

Thanks again :)


Also, Salah for FIFA Best Men's Player Award! Screw the rest of em lol.

{Ed001's Note - I just know how old some of the readers are, they will have forgotten it was free by the time they reached the word Bury. Honest.}

Yep fair enough ed. I just wondered if there was more to it, but obviously they're just bitter about losing a top target.
