Yeah, I'm sure that'll come as a huge surprise to the medical team.

The wages saved on De jong probably mean this is effectively a free transfer. Still like to see somebody else but this looks like it could be a god bit of business. Should link up well with Jesus then.

The fee's nothing special but he was probably on a canny wedge too. We've shifted quite a few high earners this summer and the replacements most likely aren't getting half what they were.

Strong side Nice to see us taking it seriously.

He's deed man. Back soon though apparently.

That's why you're shit at blackjack.

Any chance of the american tv channels picking up a few of our games if we sign him? I ask more out of desperation than any kind of realistic hope btw.

Mad buggar. I wish players wouldn't say things like that tbh. 99.99% of them never live up to it. One instance of him not tracking back or pressing his man, and we'll be all over him for not trying. Assume Siem de Jong is the other 0.01%.

I'd agree with that. The guy has the talent to be a top player but just doesn't have the heart or will to make it happen. He's got a beautiful touch but he needs to get himself more involved in play, take the game by the scruff of the neck instead of waiting for it to come to him.

Unless it's ISIS it'll be a step up.

It's more like £30M with the current exchange rate Typical that fat Mike is one of the few to get some benefit from Brexit

Scarily accurate. FWIW, I hate 'try hards' too. But suspect the micky taking of Ian (well brushed-off by the way) is based on what people think it means. To me it means always making sure that you draw attention to your effort/play to the gallery. So huffing and puffing and excessive brow-wiping 'look at me look at me' type s***. Rather than just putting in maximum effort (i.e. literally trying hard) and not constantly drawing attention to it...actually come to think about it, that's how I am with our lass ("oooh, it was really hot in the loft, but I've put all the boarding down now love; only took four hours...'[wipes brow]; "I've done all the kids washing, even though I could have had a game of golf, thought it would be good to clear it all...'; "hope you enjoyed that orgasm, even though me neck's f***ing killing me now/I've been down there for ever"--you get the picture). Turns out, I seem to hate myself...explains a lot. [edit] p.s. I don't personally think Ritchie is a try hard. Suspect his lass shoots her muck through coital sex and like straight away ( ) and he never even mentions it. I'll probably understand the Steve Harper suicide post before I manage to decipher any of this. It's just an overly verbose way of saying 'exaggerating the effort put into a task'.

Takes time for a keeper to get a good understanding with his back four. You've got to give him at least six months to get settled before making a judgement imo.

You're alright, you're married.

Fixed

LET'S JUST SIGN 16 LOAN PLAYERS AND GET RID OF THE WHOLE SQUAD THEN derp

Shouldn't we be the ones asking him to guarantee us games?

He's flying over, they've hired a van to take his medical records.

Dross doesn't sound much good.

Moving on Saturday and won't have Internet so probably have to rely on NO match thread commentary Think it'll be tight, Rafa will have us playing compact and stifling it but I fancy a slim NUFC win. 0-1

In some ways I am, he's probably our best player and when he's on his game he really drives us on. In the championship he could play a huge role in getting us promoted and become a talisman for the team. On the other hand, £3m is a lot of money....

Bitch and Butch.

This is absolute bollocks by the way, unsurprisingly from this poster. Ayoze wasn't a passenger. He won the ball back with a fantastic tackle that lead to the Gayle freekick goal, he got pulled back which lead to the freekick for the 1st goal, played a lovely through ball to Hayden which resulted in us nearly scoring and made some delightful runs and touches in the first half. He was nowhere near his best but to say he was a passenger is bollocks I note you quote my post but look back at previous posts by TIoteWD ....confirms my assesment of him as well. So im not alone in thinking his performance was just so dissapointing , not for the first time. Its about opinions and i have mine, he will be dropped for Mitro...why? Because he's not good enough. Thing is we'd rather stick our nuts in a mincing machine than hear your opinion.

Not just that. Other teams fans are generally the most knowledgable about their club and players and brummie along with most of the Villa faithful have told us what to expect.
