It's basically The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings.

I don't get the idea that Ashley knows how to get out of the Championship like, read it a few times on twitter too. First time we got lucky with Hughton turning out to be a top manager at that level and the 2nd time we had Benitez.

I like their videos on manager tactics but I'm now wondering if I've been duped

Tifo talk a good game but that potential line-up at the end tells us they haven't actually got a fucking clue what they're going onabout like

Can bang a header in for someone about 4ft tall if Dennis Wise scouting is out to go by.

That will deffinitely be getting used on this forum going forward

So the initial reported fees were bollocks? Saying Lille want £25m now when they apparently already knocked back an offer in excess of that? I'll be honest the initial reports seemed massively high like. Same with the Diego Carlos bid.

The buzz has gone now like

They're very 'bready', the pepperoni one is oddly nice imo.

Still probably my favourite episode 9f any tv show ever

Sidney Cooke was jailed for less than this.

WHAT ABOUT CHRIS MORT EH LADS?

Hearing he's been killed.

Didn't @Village Idiotsay his attitude has actually been good at Barca too? Like that isn't the reason he's been shite for them.

He gets a load of free advertising from this place like

Creased. Hope we emphasise to players that this training ground situation is temporary like

I doubt £35m is our final offer but I would be surprised if we go too high above it. £35m is a really strong offer for a 21 year old CB who's played 1 season in a top league. Under Ashley we would go in with pointless opening bids which not only wouldn't be accepted, but probably just put other clubs off doing business with us. It was like they thought they'd cracked it all, offer someone a grand for their brand new Ferrari, get knocked back, but then they'll be amazed by your second offer of £7k and will immediately sell up.

By the sounds of things he doesn't have the pace or mobility of VVD though does he? Botman looks completely fit to make it in the Prem like but VVD is a bit of an outlier given his height and how mobile he is.

Aye but the point is we've went in with an initial offer which more than matches the players worth. In the past we would start with a derisory offer and then come back with further derisory offers until the window shuts. Now we're starting off with a completely fair offer so I would be suprised if we add too much more on top.

£35m is a lot of money for a young defender who's never played in the Prem like. Obviously Lille are under no obligation to accept it, he's more than proven himself to them, but I cannot see us just throwing more money at them after seeing how the Trippier deal has been handled.

Seems like they've smashed this deal like.

You've probably just forgotten a bit tbh HTT. Cabaye had just won the league with Lille and there was a lot of buzz about him on here at the time like. (Unless it's me that's misremembering )

If all things were equal I'd say Ben Arfa then Cabaye would be the most exciting signings like. It was crazy when we signed Ben Arfa especially. Trippier is a great full back but the reason this is so exciting is because of the intent it shows as well as how it's shut down the talk from the typical morons that even with our insane wealth nobody will want to come here.

If it's legit then it's pretty hard not to read into though. If Liverpool put a bid in for ASM which we rejected, and then ASM started liking posts about Liverpool, I think we'd all assume he wanted away.
