That's class, always wonder why more footballers don't go for these experiences in the end of their careers. World is full of amazing places.

English players have almost felt like they've been vaccinated against the mere thought of playing football anywhere else than on the British Isles, so every time I see some news about an English player signing for a team outside the UK I genuinely feel some kind of joy because of it :lol:

You realise he's been playing in France for a while now?

Thought they went bust?

 

They did. They accepted a forced relegation to the 4th tier where the current state of their finances would allow them to participate, going bust in the French league system is apparently a bit different to when it happens in the UK as it doesn't require you to start again as a phoenix club way down the league pyramid (or buy the league license of another club to skip a few steps on said pyramid). To my understanding it means the club that went bust get a forced relegation to the level of the French league pyramid where the club's finances are acceptable for them to participate, in turn promoting the clubs that would be next in line for promotion (based on last season) from the tiers they jump past down the pyramid. 

 

My info is based on me skimming through some Wiki articles about it a few weeks ago, so take it all with a grain of salt until someone with better knowledge of the French league system either confirms/debunks what I've just said :lol: That said, if it is how their league system handles clubs that "go bust", I dare say it's one of the best ways I've seen it dealt with by any FA so far. Much better to just move the club going bust down to a level where the club doesn't have to liquidate and "restart" as a phoenix club that in turn will need to fight it out in the courts to be allowed to retain "their" club history/achievements/honors. The AFC Wimbledon/MK Dons debacle is the perfect example of what a nightmare that is, thankfully today AFC Wimbledon retain the trophies/honors that Wimbledon FC achieved and MK Dons have no historical records/honours in their "history" prior to their first official match, played August 7th 2004. That it took three years for AFC Wimbledon (officially the London Borough of Merton) to get the 1988 FA Cup trophy replica returned to them by MK Dons, to me, feels like pure insanity.

Oumar Solet released by RB Salzburg. Surely thats one we should be all over? Young, pacy ball playing right sided centre back and Mitchell will already have knowledge of him from being in the RB system. 

Wouldn't be able to play until January at this point would he? Liverpool, west ham and villa all linked.

 

I missed Brandon Williams being released from Manure too. 24 too, quite a fall from grace. He looked like the next big thing. Priority issues apparently and manure staff don't reckon he will return to the PL.

Genuinely jealous of that deal

He's brilliant, I love him. If it fails then it'll be because his legs have gone or he breaks down again.

They always seem to get good value on both incomings and outgoings them lot. Though I would say Chiesa is made of glass, £13m is ridiculously cheap in this day and age. Less than Jack Clarke ffs.

 

Even if he scores a few it will end up being extremely good value.

ah man, I absolutely hate that. would have loved him here, I don't think he's finished whatsoever.

 

fuck sake :lol: football is pure shite

That's an unreal deal for them bellends mind - £11m - no risk at all.

 

Bastards!

Probably on decent wages, but its Osula money for an Italian national player.

Chiesa :( 13m Euros is a great price


Just a select few.
 

Approaching December, 78 minutes of football played, currently injured (unavailable for 10 of 14 games since arriving). 
 

Hindsight a wonderful thing, but we’ve had a right touch not dropping £80m+ on him and Guehi :D

Never thought we’d be interested in Chiesa, for many reasons. When someone like that is available so easily, something is wrong. 

 

Liverpool could take the risk because they had a massive pool of wide forwards already.
