I'm another thst would take a punt on Yakupov for a third (or ideally middle of the road prospect).

Thoughts today are that I'm still fairly pleased but would have preferred if we could have signed him for 3-4 years and if one of the picks traded could have been a decent prospect instead (to get a contract off the books).

Very true that.

Good luck for later.  I might catch the second half depending when I get home from work.  Hope Will Grigg's on fire! Poor display all round from us last night - this is where not having an Andros Townsend in the squad to come on and help unlock a defence really hinders us.  Henderson was a...

I read a comment from his agent saying he is still going to free agency in August and all this does is change the team that has his exclusive negotiating rights.

Very happy with this given the price

Maybe better placed in another thread but is a team with plenty of cap space likely able to get anything decent from Detroit in return for Datsyuk's contract and cap hit?

Yeah, the Russia game was everything that is typically bad about the England team (lack of killer instinct, weaknesses, poor tactics and use of subs) and why we won't get near to winning the tournament. Maybe it will be different with Vardy in the team but I'd be much happier with two forwards.

I reckon you're ok anyway.  Hoping as many of the home nations make it through as possible, although not looking good for the Republic.

Very topical - I'm certainly voting leave next Thursday. Almost suprised we went for the win knowing our negative manager. But to be fair they were there for the taking.

In that case at least the trouble seems to be almost entirely instigated by the Russians. What happened in the stadium certainly was down to them and all accounts report the pre match fighting was planned by the Russian hooligans (who came heavily armed, many of whom were in uniforms). Not...

I am indeed - I used to be English Leaf many moons ago (from around 2001 onwards) although always have been more of a lurker.  Was away for a few years due to change in circumstances and then back a few years ago when we needed to re-register.

Another vote for Matthews here.

How is the 2017 draft in terms of quality and depth? Still over a year away but comparable to this year's class?

Yep, agreed that it's not a likely thing to happen again. I support Leyton Orient (4th tier) so it will never happen to us that's for sure!

Truly amazing season and I've seen nothing like it in my 36 years on the planet. Just cannot believe it has happened given their budget and squad compared to the other bigger teams with far greater resources. They are going to win the league by a minimum of 7 points and potentially as much as 13...

Yeah, that's what I was getting at - could be a possible salary dump trade there for us to get Detroit's first this year plus for Bozak + and some contracts

When does Datsyuk's contract expire?

Mismatch mishmash.

Thanks for the info - I would have asked.
