Kid Icarus

Just the circumstances seem weird, selling him after a match in which he'll play. Maybe normal in Spain, just wouldn't happen here in case he got injured.

Very strange. This sort of thing has him staying or going to Spurs written all over it.

Read that as being about the reaction, but ?‍♂️

Why do you both keep thinking it's you that's being talked about? Just because you both have nuanced opinions, a lot of which I agree with, doesn't mean there haven't been some proper bairn-like reactions on here in a shockingly short space of time like.

Don't forget that he generally plays very well for England as well. Not saying last season wasn't a purple patch, but his performances weren't just at West Ham and just last season.

From experience, there's nothing about this that looks good and it hasn't looked good for a few days.

Which channel? Had no luck searching for La Liga TV. Edit: found it

I always read it like it's a text they've sent to someone they're blackmailing.

I mean they are still doing things that don't seem all that wise like.

It's just impossible to take TS at face value though, there's no chance we'll be arsed about paying an extra £1.5m

Pinch of salt

Aye, on a 6 month loan's a bit different though.

When all of the DJs from your generation move to Radio 2 and they're playing the bangers from not even 10 years ago. They had Disclosure on the other day man, ridiculous.

Snooze, you lose.

Managers somehow delude themselves into thinking that it might work in the long run, that they'll be the ones that can tame him.

Exactly, the price for these type of players always come down to whether the proof is in the pudding. For every Keane there's a Rudiger, for every Maguire there's a Van Dijk.

It's been 3 months since Ashley left after 14 years of penny pinching. Just give in and enjoy it man.

I know there's FFP to consider, but it's going to take a while for people to get out of the owned-by-Mike-Ashley headspace, like. £41m plus add ons isn't a huge amount for a seemingly highly rated defender for a club with unlimited wealth, with plenty of room to move within FFP, who will have to pay over the odds because clubs don't want to lose their best players, they know we're desperate, and they know we have money.

I heard that he is signing for Club Tropicana

Probably this - https://www.estadiodeportivo.com/sevilla/2022/01/19/newcastle-filtra-acuerdo-diego-carlos/376501.html @ Google Translate for throwing 'succulent record' and 'fetish fishing ground' into the mix.

Yeah you're right, getting mixed up with Lille. Still in the Europa and fighting for the title though.

If their season was over I'd definitely agree, but if you're competing for the title and still in the Champions Europa League, I think it's reasonable that a tax for those things is added. I'm trying to think of it like when we came 5th and were pushing for the CL. If bottom of Ligue 1 Monaco had come along in January and were sniffing around one of the main players that got us there, as a fan I either wouldn't want to sell or I'd want an astronomical fee for us to give up on that. Even Ashley would hold out for the absolute maximum.

This is that article translated for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Based on what? According to recent reports we've already offered €42m

£41m seems reasonable to me considering their situation tbh.
