HBA got his own plane over here without permission from Marseille and wasn't going back until the loan was agreed...and he was treated as a god on here.

Big Geordie Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The NUFC that exists now, is very different to the one that was when Ben Arfa joined the club. I'd much rather have good characters around the place than folk who may upset the applecart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 He's clearly just desperate to join Eddie's stonewalling Mags. Makes me like him a bit more, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 There were people calling for Botman to go on strike when Lille wouldn't budge last January. I'm reluctant to criticise when we aren't privy to what is going on behind the scenes. Just look at Lingard last January, Man United completely shafted him.

TRon Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 No one will give a flying fuck about Gordon's shithousery if he pulls on a toon shirt. In fact we'll love him even more for it. If on the other hand he signs for Chelsea he'll be rightly labelled a talentless rat-faced little cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just mean he recognises that Everton are a fucking disaster zone that look currently destined for relegation and he wants to get away from it now, or that he sees this as a great career opportunity and is willing to act accordingly.

McDog Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 2 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Also worth remembering his own fans ambushed his car and chased him down the street about a week ago Toffee forum speculates he told his agent “get me the fuck out of here” after that. I have a feeling his agent was given one valuation ;but then when two clubs come in for him they jacked it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Why couldn’t James Maddison not turn up for training? Not turning up for training for your club that you’ve been at since a youth and presumably support is BRAZY. Kane did it though and everybody has forgotten.
