I read extracts of his interview and I could understand someone from abroad not settling here. That's fair enough. What makes me laugh though is that he was most likely telling the truth initially and then on advice some up with this 10 year contract which is pure bull****. As for loyalty, well it's a career and can be a short one. Rooney moving from Liverpool to Manchester was not because of cultural differences. Morata preferring to move back to Spain or even Italy is a different kettle of fish.

Absolutely agree - it tends to be the clubs that sign the players up to long contracts, not always to retain them but to make sure they don't lose out - the length of some of the long contract signed only reflects both parties covering themselves in the event of a better offer.


its often reported as "this contract will keep "A" at the club until "2077".....which is nonsense. Of course transfer fees are payments of compensation for mutually agreed breaches of contract as agreed between the willing selling club and the willing buying club. The club is always a willing seller otherwise there would be no deal.


But I do think that where loyalty should be expected is in respect of loyalty to a manager. Not giving your all / player power / player mutiny, all of these get my goat and modern players are very much guilty of this blackmailing of club to replace a manager they don't particularly like.

Because, rightly or wrongly, they are the embodiment of the club to most fans. It's they that take part in the 90 minutes of drama played out on the pitch.

      Wildlife night vision camera wanted

      By vladi · Posted

      I have available a Vivotek IB9367 bullet camera for $45 . This is a network cctv camera that can record to an SD card or a network device. it can be powered by POE (Power Over ethernet) or via an adaptor. It can be set to record when it detects motion I have it listed on Epay at a higher price but i I sell locally there will be no Ppay fees and no postage charges Technical Specifications Model IB9367-HT:  The IB9367-HT is the  professional outdoor IR bullet network camera from VIVOTEK, equipped with a full HD sensor capable of 1920x1080 resolution at 30 fps. With the most updated VIVOTEK SNV and WDR Pro technology, the IB9367-HT is capable of capturing the highest quality images in both low light and high contrast environments. The IB9367-HT also offers great image in night time surveillance technology. By adopting Smart IR II technology from VIVOTEK speed domes, the IB9367-HT IR illuminators now align with the remote focus lens' focus angle to provide the best IR image quality at any lens setting. This feature optimizes IR intensity, reduces IR hotspots, and increases the IR effective range up to 30 meters. Additionally, the IB9367-HT employs VIVOTEK's Smart Stream III technology and H.265 compression codec, reducing bandwidth more than 90%* while still maintaining excellent image quality compared to traditional H.264 without smart streaming. Furthermore, the VIVOTEK VADP (VIVOTEK Application Development Platform) allows users to add customized programs for various applications and user scenarios. Protecting all these features is the IB9367's IP66, IP67 and IK10 rated housing, capable of operating from -30°C to 50°C.

      SIM card for spare mobile

      By ianr · Posted

      Am I right in thinking, after a little checking, that 'sim free phone' is now just the equivalent of 'unlocked', ie not locked to a specific network? Sue, if you do find a network that will let you keep a connection with them for nowt, or without any risk (in some cases) of having the number and even account balance withdrawn, do let me know. :)  It's happened to me twice -- once with a really nice number too.  I need to find a better deal for myself too.
