Fofana looks like the replacement for Chiesa. Simons would be a very very expensive squad player.

Hasn’t he got a £60m release clause or something?

Fofana is more of a LW player is he not?

I dunno, there was some chatter that RBL & Simons had accepted the player would leave this summer, but neither club nor player were in an particularly rush to get it done - I’m just throwing it out there because RBL have popped up as a possibility for Harvey.

Now, it might be that selling Simon’s elsewhere funds a Harvey bid - or, yuu know, opportunity to player plus cash it.

I do think the squad make up makes it more likely we’ll look for HG talent though.

Fofana can play on both wings. Just the type of winger Slot likes in terms of ability. With Lyon getting relegated there is a good deal to be done there.

July is, after all, put your toaster in the cupboard month.

I have toast with marmite every Sunday morning, January to December. It's one of my (the only?) life pleasures

The problem with air fryers is that they are impossible to clean; after a while all that cooked-off oil will start to smelll and you either have to live with it or buy a new one. I think a conventional small electric oven is better, there are now plenty to choose from at any price point.

Just buy a scraper.

What? It’s super easy with a rubber trays to keep it spick and span.

 

[jan]

What's the point?! It cooks food quicker than an oven and is more energy efficient than an electric oven.
You order food, it arrives cold, stick it into the air fryer....boom good as new.

I wasn't aware that people had such strong feelings on air fryers. I sincerely apologize to anyone offended by my microaggressions

 

[Farkmaster]

What the fuck is this?

So I should eat it cold? I gave you one example of how it can be used and this cunt interprets it as the only way I use it.
Like micorwaves don't exist.
Fuck outta here.

I'm fucking around. Enjoy your reheated takeaway.

 

[Farkmaster]

Also who the fuck doesn’t use their air fryer?

Aren’t most of us lazy fat bastards.

*checks on his 15 chicken nuggets.

I actually like cooking, I don't own an air fryer. I do own a sous vide and all sorts of other stuff. There are definitely patterns of cooking that call for one, but I think by and large they'll all end up in a landfill like everything else and become the most recent index fossil of a particular time. I want my counter space.

 

[Mystic]

I really don't want to sell him, but if we do, we better have a buy back clause.

Ditto. Though I don't own a sous vide. I don't have any more room in my kitchen for gadgets sadly.

Theyre fucking great and not big, so long as you already have a large stock pot.

There is no better way to cook chicken breast, or pork, or to slow cook things you don't want to pay attention to, or to make a shittier cut of beef taste better than it is. It can't do it all but it excels with lean protein.

It's also a fun way to make carrots still have texture but be cooked. Everything comes out very cheffy but meanwhile there is no possibility of failure.

It's almost cheating. It's so forgiving as to cook time, you put a chicken breast in, or a pork chop, forget about it, two hours later you take it out, dry it, cook it, sear it and it'll be the best you've eaten. I often make things hours in advance and just finish them at the very end. And if you forget to take it out, the window for perfection is very very long and it doesn't matter, since it can't bring the protein over a precise temperature.

Yeah, I'll probably get one when we finally move and have more room. Sadly my wife is a pescatarian so don't get to enjoy cooking meat as much as I'd like but hey... maybe we'll give watermelon "steaks" another go (they were actually not too bad). On a semi-related note, I switched to a reverse sear on steaks generally speaking though and find it's better... so would probably use a sous vide for steaks for sure.

Reverse sear for good steak that's well marbled. Sous vide is better at taking a chuck steak and making it much better than it ought to be, than cooking a ribeye imo.

It's stupid to sell him. I get that he is in the unfortunate position of having 2-3 top class players in front of him, but he's a gem. The whole "didn't take his chance" thing is such contrived bollocks, considering Slot treated him, Endo and Quansah like absolute cunts for most of the campaign, while the likes of Jones and Szobo couldn't string a handful of good performances together between them. Amazing that Szobo is getting a free pass because he runs a lot, from the same morons who used to criticise Hendo for offering just about the same.

I also don’t understand why we have to sell him. We apparently have the money. Loves the club, happy to be on the bench as long as we give him reasonable number of starts. He has his limitations but we can’t have world class players sitting on the bench. To me he is a perfect squad player.

Because Slot won't play him so he won't get a reasonable number of games. When you say "we have the money", do you mean we have the money to bid £130m for Isak? I think we are bidding for Isak know we will make sales to finance it, which includes Harvey being sold

Yeah it seems obvious to me that selling Elliott is mostly a money-raising exercise. We don't have that many valuable players who don't need replacing, so selling the few who don't seems essential if we're going to get a striker.

 

[KopRed]

He hardly played last season and we won the league regardless.
We got in Wirtz and sold none of our midfielders.
Jones is probably going to get Harvey minutes from last season and Harvey, probably none.

I like Elliott as well but there is no place in the squad for him.

I have an all-in-one but I can probably count on one hand the times I've used the sous vide function. I'm far more likely to use the slow cooker or even pressure cooker, and deffo the air fryer which probably gets used 2-3 times a week

 

[peterhague]

I live in fucking Sweden. During winter, which covers like 6 months of the calendar, it doesn't matter if I get the food delivered or go to pick it up myself. Unless the restaurant is situated just below my building, it's going to arrive cold.

You could, like, you know, er, like, maybe er.... try cooking?

 

[Modo]

You could, like, you know, er, like, maybe er.... try cooking?

And you know err...I kinda use the airfryer to cook as well.

 

[refugee]

We should see if Elliott appreciates air fryers and then sell him if he doesn't like them.

 

[Farkmaster]

Of course Elliot would like airfryers. There's no chance he can cook properly.

He lives on pot noodles. How else does he get hair like that?

Our counter is massive and still full. thermomix, slow cooker, two air fryers, toaster, blender.

 

[Squiggles]

Elliot does not have a role in the first team, nor is Slot isn't going to give him the minutes for to ever stand a chance of evolving his game into one.

If he's understandably no longer wanting to be a squad player then it's time to sell to a club that can make use of him. Were Elliott to thrive after leaving it also wouldn't mean it was a mistake to sell him. My feeling are that it was never going to happen here. He's been a cracking signing, and it's been good for all parties, but there's limits to players that don't fit the system and we might have exhausted that with Elliott.

Interesting.

I’ve been having a play around with steak cooking and tried the reverse sear last week.

Been playing around with pans as well, bought some cheapish stainless steel on Black Friday last year to see how I went with them after using the bbq exclusively for steaks for a while and the old pans started to look a little past it.

I also have some small cast iron pans that I don’t use as much as I probably could.

My social feeds are c full of Gordon Ramsay pushing Hexclas pans.

I love me a kitchen gadget, so I might invest in a Sous Vide - they’re pretty cheap these days. I’m kicking myself for not picking up some Bluetooth meat thermometers I saw going cheap on an Amazon special the other week.

I mean, I’m not particularly good at cooking, but I enjoy playing around with different things - we got most of our meat via small producers at farmers markets rather than supermarket - the quality is noticeably better.

 

[singlerider]

The trick with stainless steel is getting it at the right temperature.

If you flick some drops of water into the pan and they dance around, it's hot enough
