It seems pretty clear that one of Nourry's big findings in his year long audit of all areas of the club was that different areas of the club simply were not talking to each other. There seemed to be frequent reports of arguments between Warburton, Ramsey and others involved at various levels of the club.
Imagine this role makes sense as being entirely focused on ensuring everyone is singing from the same Methodology hymn sheet - and having worked in many an organisation where there was precious little communication and lots of friction between different department I am all for it.
If we're in a bidding war, I fancy the other team.
Looked better than our current lot at Sheff Wed, I had him confused with Uche Ikpeazu for a while and wondered why he suddenly half looked like a striker.
For a bloke who has only scored 3 goals (is that right?) for us, I feel like I have spent a long time watching someone kiss the badge and milk every last bit of 'connection' with the fans who has absolutely zero intention on staying with the club (seemingly.)
Weird one Armstrong isn't it - really like him, but 90% of that is purely the teams he played in being so bad that just having his blood and thunder style was something of a relief.
For what it's worth, I can't see him fitting into a Marti team and if Marti is indeed building a project then I am not overly fussed with his leaving. How wise that may be re: Marti I do not know in terms of the longevity of said project, and do think there's a Championship striker in Armstrong. Not this season though, and if it helps us get a better striker in I am not that concerned at his leaving as and when it happens.
Didn't Sam Field give an interview last summer saying he wasn't on any social media at all, and that he had no interest in it.
Always liked that about him.
Certainly looks like Heverrton is signing - will truly be watching a few players I haven't a clue about with him, Nardi and this Elisor come August if they all go through.
Think Rocco Friel and Daniel Bennie are both well scouted prospects and not your usual castoffs as both were highly rated in their clubs. Always a gamble of course.
I was referring more to rumours like Jonathan Varane, Ethsn Mbappe and the Scottish Bayern fella mentioned above. Might all be nonsense and we end up signing players never on the radar, but we do seem to be having a good look round - which is what you'd expect with Cifuentes really anyway.
Purely based on the photos in his contract signing announcement it looks as if he has filled out a fair bit over the last year - looks to be packing more muscle on his upper body. Always thought he looked very slight which contributed to him looking even smaller between the posts so that might be something.
Thought that with Field too - also the fact we actually had a midfield so he wasn't desperately hauling players back who were breaking through the spaces left by a certain friendly ghost.
Must be a lot easier to not get booked when you are surrounded by players you can trust and rely on, and not sure he has ever said an angry word to anyone in his life so nice is he let alone a ref!
One of the best songs written in recent years imo, gets me most times. The whole album (Process) is just stunning - processing his mother's death from cancer which he'd moved home to help care for her during her treatment.
Also, not got a lot of time for the guy but hard to look past Tears in Heaven by Clapton.
A few great versions of this song, and don't know who wrote it originally so I'll just use the GOATs
Got sober in my mid-20s thankfully. Early 20s were a mess of drink and other substances, couldn't tell you how many near death experiences I may have had during endless blackouts. Few trips to psychiatric wards and a spell in rehab and had my last drink late December 2013.
In the twelve step fellowships since, life is profoundly different and love the life I get to live today.
If anyone is struggling with alcoholism or other addiction and wants to chat send me a DM in here.
At the wafer-thin level I like the signing of Bennie, having never heard of him before about 1pm yesterday.
His write-up re: great on the press, physically mature etc. seems a good fit for the Marti press. Scouting further afield and seemingly to a plan/vision of the type of player we want to be coming through for the system just seems a little reassuring.
Of course, he may never make it anywhere near the first team but it reads well on paper.
Plus if he's sprinting all over the place on the press we can all sing the Benny Hill theme.
