Iffy ground. As long as everything they’re doing to string it out is legal, which we assume it is, you’d be taking a mad risk issuing any kind of punishment for doing that.

You can hardly expect them to be punished before they’ve been found guilty of anything. How long it’s taking mind….

Probably can’t wait to get away. Has wanted out for the last 18 months, just acted and played like a professional regardless.

Should be back for the CL semi finals.

It’s good see they’ve paid world class money for a world class talent.

Certified SOFT CUNT according to the Macclesfield manager on the latest episode of The Overlap.

They’ve just sold their best player for £65m, so it’s a case of being forced to replace him out of necessity, rather than being adventurous.

He’s right. Worst away trip in the league.

Cut-off for recalling him is tomorrow

You have to walk! Alright, it’s hardly that far to the stadium from Gaucho, but if it’s pissing down it doesn’t exactly make for a top class hospitality experience…

Going of that lads YouTube video for one of the CL games, it’s an outrageous rip off.

He’s definitely a complex character. Sometimes basic as fuck, sometimes quite deep. The boot knowledge thing was also high grade OCD behaviour.

I understand the comparison to Bale, positionally at least, but he’s pretty different to him in terms of skillset. Bale developed into an absolute physical monster, Hall is never going to be that, but he’s probably more technically gifted than Bale. He’s closer to David Silva than Yaya Toure if we’re looking at elite midfielders.

Oshimen’s on over £300k p/w

Burn should be back in a couple of weeks

Don’t know about other clubs, but with the 10 home transfers, we effectively do, just not in a named capacity. But obviously that’s not much use to you, as it doesn’t include aways (bar the two transfers you’re allowed).

Glad we’ve got the Tuesday - Sunday rest. We really need to avoid a West Ham / Brentford / mackems type energy-less performance.

I’m prepared to give it a try and find out…

Aye, it’s the way of the world now. There’s no real point in advocating being moralistic martyrs, or you just get left behind. Plus, what’s the ‘fairer’ alternative? Those with the most money always dictate.

Whilst it’s hardly multi-club ownership, it still feels slightly grubby that you effectively just pay to have first dibs on the best African kids. That said, agree we should probably do something similar….

As @RobsonsWonderland pointed out, it’s a lot easier to seem smarter when you have all of the advantages they do.

You’re right, it is always ambiguous, but even taking those numbers at face value, it would still make Cherki fairly comfortably our top earner, which would have been a fairly dicey situation to have been getting into.

Yes, but Elanga was intended to be able to compete. He’s just been largely shit so far.
