With my failing eyesight? I could only tell the keepers apart. :rof:

Was watching from the top deck for about 10min.
Major Mitchell Murphy walked past me with a couple of suits in tow...didn't recognise them.

Probably nailed on as squad filler. Can play at the back, can play in midfield, can play up front. If he signs on for peanuts, it will meet our criteria of signing filler for minimum wages.

Though with the ragging he did on Newcastle on twitter a while back, not sure how welcome he would be...

Purely business, **** loyalty. If a rival company offered me double my wage to do less work, I would jump at it.

What if your job was to break in the new bunnies at the playboy mansion before Heff rides them ? Would you go to Penthouse for more money but without the opportunites offered to you at Playboy ? I seriously doubt it.

Unless your job is something very special I don't think comparing it to that of a professional footballer is relevant.

That is possibly the daftest post on this forum and I have recently been reading the best hits of RAM, ffs.

My point is that if you are a good player for a mid-lower table EPL side and you had the opportunity to get paid twice what you were earning and sit on the bench for City or United, loyalty is out the window.

Anyone know anything about young Patrick Antelmi trialling with the squad?
I believe he trialled with them last season under the Stubbins regime, and has been playing at Blacktown with Joey Gibbs since then.
In England between the ages of 15-20 at clubs like Wolves, Leeds & Wigan. You'd think his technical ability would be very decent having been nurtured at that age over there.

Most players ego wont have them sitting on the bench. So they take a bit less and feel more important at lesser clubs. The odd player doesnt mind.

Nah. Professional sports is just that. You tell a bloke he can play for £40k a week at Sunderland or sit on the bench for £70k a week at one of the big 4 (or 6 or whatever the number is these days) and just about everyone will collect splinters.

I think you will find it is the odd player that stays loyal and isn't entirely after a pay day.

Has Hoffman signed or not? I need to know because I'm deciding shortly which team to follow this season.

Yeah just hope it's not true, we need a decent striker... Hoffman would be alright for minimal wage as a back up
