You're not ok are you????


You have a go at someone for rating Garnacho then post that you rate Garnacho??? Do you want to see the rest of the posts about him from you??

Just means you were simply trying to initiate an argument at the time which I knew.

Bro who cares man fucking hell, digging up old debates from 8 months ago where you're ironically trying to do something you accuse me of - let it go man :porrohands:

He's on a mission for the regime this evening.

He's dug up one of my retro posts about Amorim in an attempt to prove some kind of point.

I'm now worried that our 'transfer coup' for the Chelsea target may be nothing more than another Eze type 'stop the protests' gesture rather than a serious attempt to sign a player.

SPG on overtime for ENIC.

Really, which post was that then? :gallashmm:
 
We probably accepted a little less to keep Harry away from the EPL cunt teams.

Maybe. Ultimately when it came down to it I think he couldn’t face signing for another PL team and Munich was just too big of a draw. After being there for the friendly earlier this month I can see why. It’s a sweet gig for a player playing for the biggest team in a one team league. The arrogance and confidence that they have in that stadium before a ball is kicked is huge. It’s like a combination of Liverpool and Man U.

Plus the city is nice and the Germans are a decent lot. A hell of a lot of worse places to play football for a huge wage a week.
 
IMHO we’re trying to step up a level in the player we’re trying to sign and because of this they have several suitors, so we haven’t got a clear run at them.
It's as simple as that really. You don't get a clear run at highly rated talent, and coming off of last season, that just makes us less of an appeal. When these players look at Chelsea they're seeing Club World Champions, so they'd expect them to be challenging for all top honours.

They're not seeing that in us at the moment, whether we're Europa League Champions or not.
 
I thought they shaved a tiny bit off our fee in the end?

.....I mainly recall the rumours of that tart kicking off.
Yeah they kinda pretended the deal was less than it was, but all historical sources list it as a world record, as did all journalism at the time


Though tbf we did a bit of the same for the Kane fee, it seems.

Hard to exactly pin these things down in the era of mystery add-ons.

They're seeing this bloke and his best offer.

:levyeyes:
 
What are people expecting to happen tonight?! 😂

They don’t have a chat and a tour of the training ground and say ‘Right, better let the Twitter ITKs know what’s happened’ - they’ll want to keep it as quiet as possible, especially after events this summer.

Guarantee that almost all transfer news is 24 hours out of date by the time we hear about it in a normal circumstance. Let alone this one.

Christ almighty.

Yer true.

Hopefully hes tucked up in bed at hotspur way in 5* luxury murmuring the words 'johnson again ole ole' as he drifts off to sleep.
