Welcome Bri

[TheToffnar]

Juve would write something about severely managing his minutes into any contract. Didn't they do that with Forest?

[Dick Edwards]

Hasn't he turned us down about 6 times before.

Rumours Luiz heading back to Juve. If Gallagher didn't happen and Bouba is out all season we could do a lot worse than loaning him back for 6 months.

Good call

The concern I have with Luiz is his firm for 3 months before leaving was pretty poor and it doesn’t look like he has go anywhere near his previous levels with us.

I agree, I wouldn't buy him outright for sure.

[LeeB]

That was at the end of a long season for us though. He's had 18 months off more or less and knows how we play inside out, and I reckon he'd walk over broken glass to come back.

[Rigadon]

*Checks Kamara thread, notes no new posts have been made, returns to 'work'

He makes moon eyes towards us on his socials.

He got (and gave) so much love on his way up the touchline before the Forest game, I was a bit choked and decided there and then I'd have him bak in a heartbeat.

That's why I'm not a manager, too emotionally led. Nothing to do with lack of ability.

I may be wrong, but doesn't he have intramuscular edema?

I'm sure part of the loan clause to Forest was that they had to severely manage his minutes or incur a massive fine.

Love the man, but we shouldn't be going near players like this at the moment, even if it where for a short loan spell.

[Percy McCarthy]

Gallagher supposedly also interesting Spurz.

Not sure why anyone would choose them over us at the moment.

Footballing wise. Nothing. But being based back in London close to where he grew up and spent most of his life might be the draw for signing for them.

They’re in the Champions League.

Would he not be cup tied after playing for Atletico? Not like Spurz are going to get European football next season!

No, you don’t get cup-tied over different phases in European competitions. He’d be fine for us or Spuds after Feb 1st.
