Shays Given Tim Flowers

He was.

I'd like to think he woke up to the text of his leak, went straight to the travel agents booked the holiday of a lifetime and came home and told the kids straight away before the wife got back from Spain.

There's some nuance there tbf.

So she wasn’t nice?

I am not sure what problem it is even trying to solve?

I guess because we don't want a leaky transfer bath. I'm just glad we ceiled the Tonali signing.

He might want to play champions league.

Once the relationship started it was shit or bust for the lass.

I do think £40m is about right for him. Not quite sure it reflects multiple party interest.

I think we will have something else lined up. Hopefully he was one of those if we didn’t make CL signings.

Let them dream STM, let them dream.

the glory days of winning scudettos and going deep into Europe?

Sostieni la squadra, non il regime

You're still delutional.

I mean admittedly that's not exactly primo sauce.

Oh fuck off Chelsea.

Or it's actually really far along.

yeah there’s something about the obvious, continual repetition of the same gag that just grates.

Good grief.

Au contraire, check out the Ashby thread.

Well that does kinda depend on who comes in next.

He wants to come to us, but this is a way to get maximum wage.

There's always the hope he'd drown. Or get stung by a jellyfish and pissed on. Pards doesn't strike me as a particularly charitable guy.

Do wonder if this Saudi league stuff is an attempt to leverage into UEFA/FIFA…
