Must have mistook him for someone that dug out a fellow Premier League winger in front of thousands. Fuck him.

Can't think of anyone we've been linked with I'd want less than Grealish with the expense involved. Gutless fucking primadonna. And he's nearly 30. Fuck clean off.

I don't know how someone who spends so much time discussing football can be so fucking dense when it comes to the basics. Shame you can't play Burnley in the other 36 games, you thick mackem cunt.

What a colossal waste of money. Betting on West Ham coming in with £50m in two seasons time.

Disappointed we’re not in the race for Maignan at that fee tbf. Level above the pontiff.

ZiDan Neyul.

"That was purely Parish" is what Dobby says after he has just finished dusting Susannah Reid.

It's the create-a-character duplication with way less colour saturation behind imo.

They should insist we take part.

Box Office now accepts Apple Pay. Wow, proper futuristic stuff.

Fuck off, Luke. You utter pissflap.

Mine has expired and next season's aren't on sale yet. Tickets for the friendlies go live tomorrow at 10am. Shitshow as usual.

Falk off.

Yep, by adding another liability of roughly £230m onto the books (based on both players being on £200K p/w). We'll take Bruno Fernanj off your hands, mind. Not for the laughable figures banded about.

Getting players who aren't even good enough to get in mid table teams. Class.

I was thinking of another London club but completely forgot about West Ham. Ideal for him.

I'm not ignoring anything, I know you have sold a chunk of youngsters over the years but you still have a transfer deficit of around £550m over the last four seasons. That's without going into your wage bill which is extortionate. Your point about average salary, I'll admit I don't have the breakdown of how many of those layoffs were full-time workers (and their skillset). Do you have it to hand? Either way, it's £11.1m which is still less than 10% of the money you have spent on the transfer fees two employees in the last few days. When you factor wages in it will be nearer 5%. Maximum you can amortise that is 5 years, that still gives you a 75% deficit in the trade-off.

300 employees on (generously) £30K a year is £9m, yet you're lashing out £130m on two more speculative signings. There'll probably be another £150m+ spent next summer too. Don't give me that shite, it's those at the bottom that have to pay the consequences for performative penny pinching.

Dortmund know that him being English-born, a couple of season performing at a semi-competent level with some Champions League appearances thrown in will have the likes of Fulham, Crystal Palace and Everton willing to thrown £40m+ at them.

I'm not acting like the rules don't apply to you, more that they are near-infinitely less impactful than they are to you and clubs that have already entrenched themselves at the top of a tree by their own design. Us, Aston Villa, Everton, Nottiingham Forest and any other potential usurper has to be near-perfect in their recruitment, their salary structure and performance of the team as a result to come anywhere near breaking the stranglehold created. And if we do get our recruitment right, an army of media shills are waiting in the wings to link our best players away at every turn to the beloved six in an attempt to unsettle them and ultimately tempt them to leave. Again making us have to go back to our near-perfect recruitment strategy again in an attempt to catch up to teams who have taken those players away. Since PIF took over you can count the number of duds we have signed for £10m+ on less than Dan Burn's right hand, whereas let's put Man Utd and Chelsea's transfers up in the same period for comparison. The list of failures would be legion.

Just shows that the “top six” are swimming in so much money that they can bankroll £50m+ transfer after £50m+ transfer with barely a bump in the road. Ultimately, they’ll stumble upon some good results. Whereas if we had a dud we’d paid £60m for it would set us back three seasons. We had to sell two of our most promising youngsters to stick to these shite rules. It doesn’t bear thinking about what Man Utd would have spent if they had qualified for the Champions League twice in the last three years.

He's the poster child for why some people can't be a mod.

Added time? Fuck that.

Coaches running across the pitch can fuck off like. Disrespectful.
