Seriously I'm still shocked, of all people he needlessly bit at - it was me. Incredibly and unnecessarily rude. Truly amazing. All I said was basically "hey man, don't joke about this - it's cruel"
Well transactions like this could either be widely marketed/announced or be handled quietly under NDAs and such to protect the identity of the purchaser and their other businesses should the deal not come to fruition. Also "off market" transactions tend be quick, better pricing for the buyer/seller (no hassling with other interested parties or other hold-ups etc).
Sadly, I've given up on Cisse; he's gash, doesn't really do anything and missed some real tasty chances today. I was his biggest fan, absolutely loved the fella for us but he's just useless.
We won so people aren't going to be so vocal on how fucking stupid it was to bench our best player. The same player responsible for 60% of our points this season.
