So we’ve pissed about with private jets and speaking to Frankfurt for days, all to mess Liverpool about? Seems extremely far-fetched…

626 followers but one of them is Douglas..

He’ll be done for the season now. Doesn’t / isn’t allowed to play once training starts back up. As it happens I was at Tynemouth on Saturday and they didn’t fair very well without him to say the least.

To a relatively minor extent, yes. The way I looked at it: Keep him and we could register 21 players + SL Sell him and we can register 21 players

Second biggest ever academy sale after Carroll? Anderson as well obviously, but who knows how much we actually got out of that deal?

Leeds buckle and pay what we wanted?

He played the last game of the season, so I would certainly hope so.

New Craig David remix is shite

And they are the ones that aren’t allowed to bet on it…

If there’s one market where ‘shrewdies’ don’t exist, it’s player transfer markets (and next manager markets).

Ekitike was 1/5 to sign for us this morning. Betting odds are often indicative of many things, however which club a player will sign for is not one of them.

“OK, we’ll sell you Isak lads, no bother, just let us get sorted with Hugo first”

So the consensus is this is flying the Frankfurt top boys back in again to continue talks?

Signs - yes Doesn’t sign - no

Don’t imagine it makes much difference to Frankfurt where he goes as long as they get the price they want. Might be a different story on the players side like.

Taking it a bit far if we’ve been sat negotiating with Frankfurt for 4 or 5 days.

Aye, there’s nothing new since yesterday from espn.

Laurens didn’t need to do any editing. He was correct first time.

If you have more than one baller in your team are they just ‘ballers’, or is there a special collective noun/name? Like a group of geese is a gaggle of geese. A battery of ballers? A band of ballers? A squadron of ballers?

If there was ever a player to trust Laurens on, it would be a French player with PSG connections. If you look at his Twitter timeline, he doesn’t actually tweet much in the way of transfer rumours, so he must have had solid info to go in with this. He’s also a pretty well established ’proper’ journalist, so isn’t quite as much of a slave to the interaction and clicks world of SM.
