That sounds like we've offered him a £13million salary.

Yeah. We've been spoiled with Bruno. And given the way he has slotted in, I'd be reluctant to buy anybody that didn't share his attitude. No arrogance, I totally get why players might be reluctant, and we should try our best to convince them, but once the convincing is done and they're still uncertain, let them go.

Of course. But if we start with the same first XI but improve our back-up with big potential, that will represent improvement.Spend £60 million on one superstar who might flop, or 3 £20milion prospects? I know which I'd prefer, for now. Ideally we'll get both.

I can. He's a servant of the BBC.

I don't think lawyers do zero hour contracts.

Is our 3rd strip Lincoln green?

To be fair, the US banned beheading videos first.

i don't get the desire to gloat in the fact that he underachieved. He's a lovely guy who just wants to play football. He was ruined by a manger that just wants to milk football.

He doesn't get much attention because he doesn't stand out as much as the front two,

That's exactly what sportswashing is, to me.

Nobody does "reprehensible" like Bill Burr.

That's not the problem.

I think he just thrives when he has space to drive us forward, with a target ahead of him.

Yeah, that reminds me of a lunch I served at Balls Brothers. The kingpin of Chinese off-shore, or something, meeting with City bigwigs. The question was asked, and I'm paraphrasing, "how do you deal with lowlifes" and the answer, after a moment's silence, was "We're China". Everybody laughed knowingly. Like sombody asked "how do you maintain your success with your abhorrent record on human rights?" and he replied "Are you asking me or telling me?"

Because people can't punch you in the face for not minding your own business, on twitter.

The best thing they ever did was put in that "login to continue" fail-safe.

I think he is built for the midfield destroyer role, his ability to get the ball forward from anywhere on the pitch can not be overstated. I can't believe people think we need a CDM. He and Bruno are absolute beasts in that pivot. We've got a very capable, and well organised defence, that doesn't need babysitting. Sure if we were still a Bruce team, then playing Bruno in that position would be to waste his abilities, but we're going with the high press so he'll be exactly where he can do most damage.

They told him 90 but the bald tory cunt gets paid per character.

Wasn't Maradona's Napoli famously backed by mafia money.

Well he tried didn't he, goddammit. At least he did that.

First tie I've really been on tiktok and I ost a bit of time in there. When I came back and saw 54 replies to this thread I thought I'd been in a timewarp.

Is that not Steve Howey?

The Italian media are representing Milan in the way that our own media represent the so-called big6. As we've often seen, the big6 always get their man. I don't know how much that would influence the player, but seeing your name on the back pages must be a part of being a footballer.

Ten out of Ten, followed by the mackems, as the vhs collection tells it.
