Funnily enough Archer was my first thought when looking at his highlights from last season. Didn’t realise he was the one who scored when Peretz decided to go walkabout. Looks quite direct, plays off the shoulder and relies on his pace. That all looks fine when teams press you but if there’s no space behind or you can’t get the proper through ball then they look anonymous so can’t say it’s a link I’m that excited about. Here’s the https://youtu.be/nhisb9-DoXs?is=_y39qQAZOVBMvlGW

I know next to nothing about him but seems a bit of an odd link. He's predominantly a left side winger/inside forward and we've got Scienza for that, he's 5ft 9" so isn't really going to be a like for like Stewart replacement if we play him centrally and he's never really played as a 10 so wouldn't be considered the competition/cover for Azaz either.

Let's wheel Martin Bell out again for one last time and have him stand as an anti-corruption candidate.

Presumably that's the only way they can escape paying a fee for BBD?

Appreciate they’re good technical teams and all that but Spain v Portugal is very dull.

If he leaves West Ham then I would imagine JWP will be a deal done late in the window. Doubt any premier league team will come in for him and that leaves Champ clubs who will likely be put off by his wages. I guess Wrexham might be interested but I don't think many clubs will be beating the door down for him and the longer it drags on, the more West Ham will be likely to compromise. We've probably got another 6 or 7 weeks to enjoy the speculation........ He'll sign for us tomorrow now, just you watch.

Other than the Blackmore speculation has there been any links to JWP? FWIW He’d probably do a half decent and unspectacular job if he did come back but can’t say I’d be enthusiastic about it.

No, but there is a small mouse inside the ball that squeaks every time the ball is touched. That's what the microphones are picking up.

Yeah, he got that for looking at the Stoke bench a bit funny. Clearly the FA weren't aware that he always looks like that.

Oh great, the wrong type of brexit. Anything that puts barriers to 50% of your trade was always going to be detrimental. There's no version of Brexit that would have avoided that. Besides which, it wasn't really about the money anyway, was it? Or was it? I've lost track now.

Portugal vs Croatia. First time I have seen both teams playing for penalties from the kick off

It's only YouTube and I don't think he's playing at a particularly high level but thought the lad looked pretty good in the videos I saw.

I think we probably would have sold THB last summer if a decent offer came in but doesn't seem like anything did. I'm not sure we can expect anyone to bid more than last summer given he has a year less left on his contract and all he's done last season is prove he's a very good championship player (which he'd already done anyway).

Think the owners (Coates) also own Bet365 and were potentially the richest owners in the league. Not sure how that fits in with whatever financial regs we have this week though.

Not sure creating a new department that will work for all the nation, and then calling it "No 10 North" is the smartest move he could make.
