Looking forward to your contribution

Yep.

 

[Balli001]

Yep.

Interesting life you lead then.

 

[long way home]

Surely somebody can make something of the tune Big in Japan from the 80s.

 

[shmmeee]

Keep his song from his old club. It’s original enough.

 

[fatso]

Not much imagination used there.

Reminds me of the David Busst chant.

 

[David O'Day]

He's got a point though

The potential Gyokeres money rather than Dave King money is making the difference, although he does appear to be letting us keep most of it, unlike SISU. However these two new signings represent a clear break with previous purchasing strategy, so has risk, Look at the squad that finished last season

Out of contract / tiny fee: (8). Wilson, McFadz, Bidwell, Allen, Palmer, Maguire, Moore, Dabo
Youth: (3) Eccles, Howley, Burroughs
Converted loans: (3) Sheaf, O'Hare, Gyokeres (try before you buy?)
Strategic purchase: (2) Godden (£750k), Hamer (£1.5m?)
Loans; (5) Panzo, McNally, Doyle, BNC, JWE.

Clearly spending £8m on a strategic purchase is way beyond the usual model. As is spending £2m on a 26 year old import - hope he is Hamer rather than Hilsner.

I didn't realise we all had to be professional songwriters

 

[David O'Day]

No, put sometimes it's best to only use the inside voice for some song ideas

 

[gazza]

We shouldn’t try to come up with songs for our players then?

 

[fatso]

There was a lad on the bench at Leamington yesterday with a Greek sounding name.

Moussaka?

 

[David O'Day]

didn't say that did I

I said some of the ideas for songs are shit and people should of probably kept them to themselves

Understand?

 

[Gibbo]

...a further thought.

We may have been a bit fortunate in the last two seasons. Because Covid so affected revenues for all clubs, our low budget model with an established squad was more resilient compared to otherwise better funded clubs whom you might think capable of 'buying' promotion - like Bristol, Swansea. Because of their reduced revenues they were unable to do so.

This year may be shaping up for a return to the pre-Covid norm, when a number of clubs were spending big in an attempt to reach the nirvana of the Premiership. Obviously based on the last two years' performance, DK hopes we can join the Championship elite. However the cost of doing so may be rising.

Some forum posts are shit and people should *have* probably kept them to themselves.

Obviously not but ffs last thing I want to hear at a footy match is some fat, balding tryhard getting all red while spluttering out cringe songs no one else will sing to.

Something simple like the Ben Wilson song would suffice.

If you're going to ? be sure to wear.....

Why do we seem to have big hold ups with announcements, other teams seem to just fire them. We’ve literally got a player that’s been quoted as costing 2m€ in Portugal with us for pre season and still not announced officially, meanwhile Boro announcing players by the day, saying they’re joining the team abroad soon.

Simple, because there’s nothing to say until there’s something to say.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Maybe he’s on trial

His club would have to agree to that which seems extremely unlikely

Fuck sake our fans absolutely love a moan don’t they. Will find literally anything to whinge about

Hypocrisy summed up in a single post.

 

[Finham]

Agreed. Some real deluded comments here thinking Japanese people are going to come out in droves to watch CCFC because we signed a guy who only played two international fixtures for them.

They won't come in droves, but we'll get the odd handful.

Haven't seen Boros signings, are they as exciting as the youth team nobody's Sunderland have signed or the generic Championship players Birmingham have signed that everyone was creaming about last week?

There's definitely a song to turning Japanese, something like:

He's got you turning up and turning down,
And turning left and turning right.

We've got Tatsu Sakamoto, we've got tatsu Sakamoto I really think so

 

[EalingSB]

First song I thought about was Holding Out for a Hero.

We need Tatsuhiro
We’re loving Tatsuhiro down City’s right … etc

Probably best left to @gruffskyblue!

 

[torchomatic]

I presume everyone has heard of the late, great Ryuichi Sakamoto from the fantastic Yellow Magic Orchestra? Would be fantastic to use something from them but they tended to be instrumental. Shame.

@Otis will know.

We would be buzzing if we had signed Jobe Bellingham and some Benfica players, we are buzzing over a Japanese Winger who has played in Belgium for one year.

 

[Martin180]

I'm glad none of you write music because all your songs are absolute shite.

Says you Scott Mackenzie

Looks skilful, though. And there's something exotic about it-we've never had a Japanese player, have we? Or even Asian? He screams "potential cult player".

A Benfica B team player? Really wouldn't be buzzing at all

Your posting history suggests otherwise

Yup. Love a bit of YMO. Actually have some of their stuff on vinyl somewhere.

Definitely more instrumental than vocal, but many of their songs have vocals and lyrics. I can only think of Behind the Mask and Nice Age of the top of my my though.

I will try and wrack my brains.

Going Loco, Saka Sakamoto

Going loco,

When he scores a goal!

One minor change. Going Loco, Saka Sakamoto.
