World Cups can have a huge effect on player's reputations. It's really not worth the risk in my view to ell before the tournament. Say for example he scores 5 or 6 goals in a great run for Serbia is seen as the main reason for them reaching the Semi's or whatever. He goes from a 20 million player to a 40 million one. We've been at the opposite end of this situation so many times, trying to buy players from awkward sellers. We need to be the awkward ones, ideally I would like to see him go aboard with a sell on clause built in. Fulham will want to get him cheap before the world cup, why make it easy for them ? Did they help us out last year with Cairney ? So we’re just banking on him being a Golden Boot contender then. I think him scoring 2 goals is charitable.

I haven’t watched enough of him to be able to judge his ability, but if Rafa wants him and think he could do a job at striker, I’m on board.

Be funny if they ended up sacking him before Christmas.

Iirc the MLS-to-Cincy talk started before there were any rumblings of Columbus moving. And Cincy has a strong base of support.

The subtext to all of this is ultimately “black athletes need to shut up and just appreciate what we’ve given them.”

Imagine that’ll make it easier to get a UK visa

Aye, RTG might not have a ‘Coventry fan in peace though’ Should just do a ‘Coventry fan in no peace’ thread.

Already is

Wasn't aware that Real haven't lost a CL/Euro Cup final since 1981.

Will be gone soon but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loris_Karius "Loris shithole Karius" "He is now best know for his embarrassing display in the Champions League final 2018 vs Real Madrid where he lost Liverpool the Trophy. Immediately after the final Karius moved to the Sahara Desert in the hope to escape ridicule from the Liverpool fans by burying his head in the sand. [24] Loris Karius completed his free transfer to real Madrid just before the Champions League final in Kiev in 2018, where he provided the assist for Karim Benzeama's opener and scored Real's 3rd himself."

Like his hands became pancakes

Shut up joey.

lot of things happening in that song, none of them great

It’s pretty hard to reconcile. And understandable why PL clubs will do whatever it takes to stay up, leading to the appointment of the Fat Sam’s of the footballing world and turgid football.

Been to Rwanda, beautiful country. Lots of white guilt development money flowing in there.

Who's the billy big bollocks calling the shots at Arsenal now?
