Can't fathom what Barry Bannan was thinking here.

Giving David Goodwillie a platform to speak and calling him a toplad.

Goodwillie has been accepted as a rapist by a civil court.

Criminal court dropped the case due to lack of legal evidence.

But the lady was awarded compensation by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.

Hull City have signed Manchester City's Liam Delap on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old forward had two loan spells in the Championship last season, with Stoke and Preston, scoring four goals in 38 appearances.

The Chile international scored 47 goals in 177 Rovers appearances and joins Villarreal on a four-year deal.

Haven't even got the best manager in Yorkshire :)

His Championship and Premier League win percentage is better than Daniel Farke.

Decent appointment potentially

His credentials are not better than Farke's.

His Press Conference will struggle to be beaten for comedy value :)
Xisco looks so uncomfortable

The Webdies owner basically said Xisco hasn't the best cv and is the cheaper option then went on a long rant about Carlton Palmer :)

Remember this gypo who took Sinisterra out causing Luis to be subbed after half an hour prior to him giving us the lead against the foxes.

Expect Barnes to follow.

Signed Coady and Winks though.

I know he’s decent, but that’s a lot of money for him IMO.

Pretty decent fee for Leicester imo but not overpriced for Newcastle, fair price I think.

How much would we want for Harrison? £25-30mil?

Barnes scores or assists a goal at a much better rate.

Significantly better on minutes per goal and assist than JH at both Premier league and Championship level.

In fact if you combine the two Harvey Barnes scores or assist at exactly twice the rate that Harrison does (Minutes per goal or assist of 154 to Harrisons 308).

So if we want £25-30mil for Harrison Barnes at £35-40mil is a bargain imo

Decent signing that.

Vastly experienced and proven.

And the price shows why Nat Philips for £10mil would be extremely poor value.
Aye - that is a big scoop for Leicester, very surprised at the fee. I wonder if he has a fitness issue ?

Knowing our luck, we will draw them in the cup and he will get a couple then.
