Which is strange, as they did the same with Maradona and it worked then.

gotta try and prove he's better than Ronaldo somehow Prob his goals and assists already do that And literally everything else except penalties and headers. I'd say Cronaldo has(/had) more pace, strength and leadership* too. Bit ineffable, granted, but he functions better in a one-man show better than Messi IMO. I don't think he has more strength and pace, especially on-the-ball pace. I dunno, Messi has more take-on-an-entire-team-and-score. That'll always impress me more. Ben Arfa is better anyway

Yeah clear pen

Scoring 30 a season would make him a great player though, so that makes no sense. Gayle got 20 + in the Championship, does that make him a great player? It’s all about context. Mitrovic will never be a great player, Supermac is right on that one. Again even if he smacked in 30 one season. Phillips did it for the mackems once, still a bang average footballer though. Edit: I meant if he scored 30 goals ONE season, do it every season and that changes things Gayle got 23 so nah, not great. 30’s my marker ;-)

Most pointless transfer ever then. We’d get much more for Mitro than Andros is worth, and you know Mike loves his resale valuations.

Surprised Ashley hasn’t leaked a new takeover story yet tbh.

Nope, just this shit one.

Unless he gets injured, then we've got nobody to cover. I think that's the point.

15m euros? No chance.

See I don't see that, but I think Clark is terrible at this level. At least Chancel has the potential to improve, Clark is only ever going to get worse. The only reason I don't mind that we're selling him is that Rafa just doesn't fancy him.

Under any other owner I'd go with that too. However....

Not exactly busy here is he, so yeah.

Might struggle on getting a work permit, surely?

Great signing that. Wrong brother etc.

So having a first option purchase clause in a contract is essentially pointless?

£50m then please.

I'd be amazed if any of the players we sign (ha!) are actually playing at the world cup.

He’ll win the golden boot and we’ll sell him for £50m

He's bang average mate, all he does is score lots of goals. I'd much rather have a player with a bit of guile (like Gayle) who never scores, but at least he doesn't try too hard etc etc etc

Linked by who?

Is the link to Harry Arter genuine?

Cahill? Honestly?

Oh fuck
