Bournemouth paid thrm approximately 40 mil for Dominic Solanke, Jordan Ibe and Brad Smith 🤕🤮 As @Adamjr9 said, he didn't pull up many trees. But I think there's a very capable defender in there who just needs a more experienced and leading head to help get the best of him. There's a lot of potential for Dunkley, but as a second CB as opposed to a leader of the line. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Getting Johnson in for another year probably makes sense with a squad as thin as ours. I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other about Johnson, I don't think he's good enough to be starting for us, really, but he's a decent enough option from the bench, and his delivery is far better than he gets credit for. And of course, him sticking out the last season when others didn't is a credit to him as well. I don't think people are really aware of quite how badly this pandemic has affected finances in football, especially for clubs that are reigning in the big spending anyway, like Boro. People who think we are going to sign a whole starting lineup this summer may have to adjust their expectations. I saw improvement over the last few games that in itself is hope for better things to come. Players react to Managers and Warnock could be very good for Marvin. I am fine with this information 1 Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,449 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) With a history in the regional divisions, Amora Futebol Clube will be purchased, for 350 thousand euros, by an American company. Mozambican investor, Zuneid Sidat leaves the scene. "SAD will be purchased by the American America Soccer, a company of American investors who are currently investing in Middlesbrough (England) and Benevento (Italy)", according to Mauro Almeida, the new general director of SAD Amorense, who should be led by Daniel Golpe, former administrator of SAD do Praiense. The company "chose" to invest in a club in Portugal because it is "one of the countries that best trains athletes and provides excellent conditions for their development". The objective "is to try to change the management paradigm of professional football in the Portuguese championship, with the future administration already working on planning the new sports season". With 99 years of history, the club that was born on a picnic on May 1, 1921, at Quinta da Princesa, wants "finally" to have a national dimension. And in the next season alone, the investment in football will be half a million euros. In October, the construction of a new enclosure is scheduled to begin. The Medideira Stadium will be municipal, but given by the Seixal City Council to the club for some years. The models are ready and the projects are in progress. The academy is also already planned and should be completed in three years. Time to get to professional championships and revolutionize Seixal Bay.
