Is this the Appleton side-on lookalike?

I always laughed when Millwall were giving us a load of cr@p and the chant of “we’ve got a garden, we’ve got a garden, you ‘ent, you ‘ent” started up in the terrace. I think it was the evening when Mickey Bell scored a goal from distance

Really hope Westy just needs fitness as he's by far our marquee singing money wise! Expensive for a bench option.

Also we have signed two Danes but nobody from Sweden. Is AI biased against other Northern European nations?

Darren Drysdale?

I have no idea if any of the assumptions in the following are true but I’m just trying to think through how it could be possible.

Maybe there is a great wealth of data available on players from clubs based in Scandinavia where the majority of players are white; and a dearth of data on players from clubs based in Africa where the majority of players are black. This might lead to signing a higher proportion of white players than you would expect if the club had access to perfect information; and there would be no intentional discrimination anywhere in the process.

Again, this is a very one-sided view. There are concerns that AI algorithms may exhibit biases based on the data they have been trained on and the parameters specified by programmers, but AI also has the potential to be far more objective and fairer than humans, all of whom undoubtedly exhibit in-built unconscious biases (likely to a far greater extent).

Besides, we have signed Simons, who seems to be mixed race. And 5 out of the 6 players we released were white.

Moreover, I doubt you mentioned anything similar during the 2017-18 season when 8 of our 12 signings were black/African (Eze, Umerah, Moore, Thompson, Williams, Tyson, Ma-Kalambay, El-Abd). That was far more disproportionate to the general population than this January window, and those signings would likely have been made with more "human input"

If we win promotion, I think Kone will sign a new contract and won’t leave for anything less than mega money of £20 million plus. If we don’t win promotion think he goes for about £8 million.
