Every day I log on here and this thread seems to have engorged another 20 pages, mostly full of shit...

But since I'm here ;)

Is it bad that I like Manuel Lanzini.

No mate, I quite like him too. I think he's easily their star player and who they are looking to.

Vin Dijk has shat the bed at Southampton, so it wouldn't surprise me if they come in for big Kev, once they've stopped fannying around pretending Liverlol aren't going to sign yet another player from them

Clever from Liverpool, it's going to drive that £60m down. "Oh go on then, but here's £30m"...

I suppose he's £22m too.

€25m euros innit.
 
This whole Van Dijk saga is confusing me.

If he throws his toys out of the pram and Liverpool come back in for him in the same transfer window they previously got found out for tapping and publicly removed themselves from the whole thing...

What's the fucking point, anymore? Surely that's just zero consequences for utterly scummy behaviour. Southampton should officially alert the FA and give the scousers what they deserve.

That's what they should do, but 60m quid is 60m quid, and it's not 60m quid when he's rotting in the reserves.

He's an asset, ultimately, and whilst I'd fuck them over and fuck him off with the kids for a season to teach him a lesson, money talks. Especially to Southampton, who have a habit of selling their best players each year.

It would do Van Dijk well to remember that Southampton took a chance on him from Celtic, but no loyalty and all that.
 
Just thinking it should be named the summer squabble thread.

Is this place is used for therapeutic reasons over the summer.
Instead of battering the missus and kids to death before topping yourself.
I'd just call it the toilet window.
Much like most of the other transfer windows really (but the lack of football makes the summer windows much more animated). Everyone gets excited, everyone gets deflated, the arguing begins when nothing is happening & everyone breathes a sigh of relief when the fucking thing closes (usually with a new thread about our 11th hour signing). Then within 10 minutes, some sadistic cunt starts the next transfer window thread. And off we go again...

:avbhumph:
 
Everyone taps up everyone. The rule is ridiculously outdated, hence the reason hardly anyone is ever fined for it.

I would bet my house that in every signing we have made in recent years, the first contact was with the player in question's agent rather than his club, as is required.
