How do you even counter this? :lol: So all the reports of an accepted Como bid, the player turning it down, then Allegri taking a shine to him and wanting to keep him that all happened before we went for him is nonsense then?

 

I don't really understand what you're saying and can't be arsed to figure it out. 

 

Players cost more to PL clubs; it happens within the league too, particularly if Chelsea are involved. (Caicedo a good example) 

 

If it's easier just to say the club is a fucking joke shambles disaster just have at it, whatever. Bored of trying to fight the corner now and this window is sending me fucking demented.

 

Phone in the fridge.

Dunno wtf I'm reading these days tbh. He's not a can of beans on a shelf with a price stuck on him. If the only club at the table is fucking Como then of course the price is 20-odd mill. If a bigger, more prestigious, significantly more wealthy PL club is asking, the price obviously goes up. Or are we saying inflation isn't a thing now? 

 

It was part of a wider deal that included Morata. This is a different deal now.

Everyone’s taken our eyes out this window, literally every person we’ve dealt with has fucked us one way or another. How fucking naive are we 

 

I'm not even convinced that Elanga was a good deal :lol:

I dunno what I said that's strange? That's the reported chain of events with Thiaw this summer. It's reported as the reason for the increase in fee for him regardless of who's in for him.

 

Enjoy the break though, wish I could do the same.

His touch has looked a bit heavy a couple of times but it is pre-season. :lol: 

 

Obviously I'm hoping that we've done our homework and he's yet to show what he's really capable of.

Kinda hilarious we are working from 3 year old scouting reports :lol:

 

 

If you told me our scouting database was secretly being held to ransom by a crew of Russian hackers, I'd believe you.

is our transfer target spreadsheet set to read-only or something? :lol:

 

I snorted tea out of my nose at this. Somewhat because of the funniness of the comment, some of it because I'd just had to explain this exact thing to a colleague.

So if they’ve changed managers and the new one wants him to stay, what are we even bothering for? It just makes it look like others are well down the target list when we go scrambling again. It’s a complete shit show.

That's not what the latest said, is it? It said the manager likes him but they'd consider offers of 30m. Sounded more like an effort to just sell him for more to me. But who knows.

I'm at the point where I don't even care if he's an improvement on Schar (I doubt he is), my expecatations have been eroded so badly thatI'm now at the point where I'd be content just to see a living, breathing humanoid sign for us, if only to prove that it's not beyond the realms of metaphysical possibility for professional footballers to sign for us.

Another one we were first linked with two years ago....

 

Andy really has just found the bit of paper with our old targets on down the back of the sofa :lol:

 

I remember doing the same thing playing Champ Man in the late 90s/early 2000s, I'd leave the list inside the CD case, so... 🤷‍♂️
