I saw this thread and assumed that he'd died rather than was about to sign for us.
-
That's the minimum that Villa were prepared to release him for though. Liverpool have a history of overpaying anyway. Actually, this whole scenario looks very much like the Carroll one...
-
Is...is that for Gemmill because it's some kind of erotic segue from Roombas? It is, isn't it.
-
That was my favourite of those
-
Dunno about that, his hair probably represents between 20-30% of his body mass. Might not be safe to lose any of it...
-
Surely owt?

Leicester have lost Cambiasso...that's probably them down next year.

I'm still just elated that we actually fucking signed anyone. I seriously didn't think it was beyond the realms of possibility that Darlow and Lascelles were the only incoming transfers we'd see this season. Much as CT is an arse about these things, let's be a little pleased about how things are going surely?
-
I'd vote Corbyn, but not because I believe he'll win. I'd just like to vote for someone who fucking believes in something for a change...
-
Yeah I guess that's probably true. This is what happens when you lose an election and the leader immediately vacates the scene. Miliband should have stayed on to continue guiding the party and steering the debate as Brown should have done before him. I don't know if that would have been enough this time, but a significant part of me thinks that if Brown had continued to lead and stood in opposition while the fallout from the financial crisis was raging, we wouldn't be where we are today. The Tories peddled a pack of lies entirely unanswered by Labour, and they're doing so again now.
-
Thing is, much as I want to believe otherwise, I actually find myself in agreement with CT here. Labour look shot - they've never properly got it together following Blair and they have no idea who they are anymore. The left, while still the larger proportion of the country IMO, are fragmented, and the Tories are sweeping up the middle ground that Labour failed to vacate. Genuinely believe we're fucked until something else comes along that kicks off governmental change outside of domestic politics. Maybe withdrawal from the EU would do it, but I expect the Tories will play both sides of that debate...
-
Doubt we'll play two up front at all to be honest; if we get Austin in, I reckon Cisse will go - that said, it'd be nice to have two quality options on the forward line for once. Agree that Cabella will likely be on the right if he isn't sold.
-
As bad as Labour are handling this, the Tories have politicised the emergence of the SNP to kill them (Labour) and have done so with aplomb, sadly... It's actually making the Tories look competent, how well they've played all the other parties. We need better leadership on the left than this. We need consistent strategies that will differentiate our parties from the Tories, not this rush to the middle ground. Truth is though, it's not going to happen. We're lumbered with the Tories until a) they fuck up something really, really seriously or b ) some geopolitical issue (like the financial crisis) comes along and shafts them. Even then, on the latter one, Labour would have to be properly sorted out to be able to make the most of it. If the opportunity came along now, they wouldn't be able to capitalise...
-
That would be fucking awesome though

That's a harrowing and yet hilarious image.

So we've overpaid but he could make it to the very top? Right. Also, good thing we have so many top class wingers...ahem...
-
Can you describe that experience at all, or were you too far gone?
-
It's hard to argue that the comedy account doesn't produce an endless supply of comedy though...
-
Plus they're definitely not going to be spending anything in January following all of this...
-
Yeah that's a key point I think. Although the board made clear last season with the crazy sale of Santon for £2.5m that it's not always the size of the transfer that matters... Certainly wouldn't mind losing the people David Kelly noted, but we're just so light on the ground in terms of backup that I'm concerned for the problems we'll face when the inevitable injury crisis kicks in.
-
I don't know if the squad is deep enough for us to be selling that many players... would agree with Cisse assuming we can get Austin, but that's pretty much it from the first team. We barely even had a first team at the end of last season.
-
Wait, is this guy Thompers or Mako? Was Mako banned?
-
Agree with this wholeheartedly.
