Deuce

you're just stringing me along, aren't you.

Just because he would prefer to go to a nation other than China, it doesn't mean he's envisioning going to the US because he's desperate to play in such a promising up-and-coming league, or better yet desperate to move to gods country. He just wants money. Also, Liam fucking Ridgewell is a designated player. I haven't suggested anything like that. Don't think he gives a shit about MLS as a league, other than it being some place he can prolong his career by a couple seasons. Could be that the combination of the U.S. American city "X" being a hell of a lot nicer place to live than China + opportunity to play (while still making a decent amount of money) is what's drawn him. Just as it drew the likes of Pirlo, Villa, Gerrard, Lampard, etc.

He probably wouldn't have got as much from MLS as he would from China/Middle East even with a DP contract on the table, so the fact he still considered MLS at all suggests he's got more than just money on his mind. At the end of the day, he's still a cunt and I don't much care what he chooses to do. Just don't think MLS clubs should be really opening their wallets for him.

I'm sure, like Cole, he's earned enough already to live comfortably on a measly ~$300K/year or whatever if he still wants to play. Edit: It seems Roma is still paying quite a bit of his salary on top of that. Oh well.

He'd rather live here than China?

So hard to make any progress as a club when a significant portion of the fanbase is dumber than fuck.

Benteke, Lacazette, and Batshuayi a few of the names being thrown around.

Made 3 senior team appearances this season, all FA Cup.

Article says it was the Atletico v Bayern game. "100 quid on Barcelona like"

"Faac! I play for Bologna!"

Humble Lions FC from Jamaica, who not only have a terrific name, but also have a patch featuring a highly-distraught lion

He can look forward to a long, storied career in the Red Stripe Premier League.

More realistically, Sunderland will win in the worst match in Premier League history on a lazy Defoe roller which no one really does anything to stop.

Sturridge to Arsenal rumored in the Mirror

As I've said, I'd like to keep him. He's still very young, has the right attitude, and clearly there's talent there. Ideally we'd take pressure off Mitro by buying a proven goalscorer and bringing Mitro off the bench, where he's made an impact under Rafa.

This might've been posted years ago, but I hadn't seen it before:

What's the Championship/old Second Division single season points record? Anyone top Reading's 106?

Silverware for Luuk. And Jetro! We'll never get him now.

Cue the usual suspect skewering the French and their league in 3...2...1...

Pretty much everyone but Puma is capable of putting together a decent kit.

Good for him getting to 20.
