Other clubs' transfers


Recommended Posts

Azpilicueta has played over 500 games for the club over 11 years. He's their 6th highest appearance maker and is leaving at the twilight end of his career after the club have told him to go. I'd find it far more weird if he didn't acknowledge the club in such a way tbh.

Take your money and fuck off lads.

Depending on the length of service aye, sometimes it's understandable, but generally it's right up there with refusing to celebrate scoring (and making a big thing of it anyway) against some club you played for years back. Vomit-inducing most of the time.

Years ago, we were strongly linked with Wes Hoolahan of Norwich in the summer window.

 

The season started and he hadn't moved to us, and we played them at home before the window closed.

 

Hoolahan scored for them, and refused to celebrate, doing the whole 'hands positioned to say 'not celebrating' thing'

 

Genuinely, refusing to celebrate scoring against a team you hadn't even joined yet.

I was cringeing as I wrote it.

 

Forgive me if it goes astray, but when i woke up this morning, could have sworn it was judgement day  <--- internal jukebox triggered after i wrote first line.

From Wiki:

 

In January 2014, Hoolahan was the subject of transfer speculation from Aston Villa who reportedly had a bid of £1 million rejected. A few days after this reported bid, Hoolahan put in a transfer request which was turned down by the club. On 7 March, Hoolahan scored the opening goal against Villa in a 4–1 defeat, and executed a muted celebration.

 

Ghastly.

Although having said that, joining us in 2014 would have been akin to taking to your deathbed professionally.

I yearn for the days of you shite houses signing players of the calibre of Wes fucking Hoolihan again...
