Trix on SC. It's incredible people still believe this fucking chancer

Older post from last week
I have actually just found out the full story from the players side now, and whilst I can't disclose any of it this whole mess is completely understandable.

FWIW I believe this is still likely to go through once all the chest beating has died down.

Today's post:
"All I can say is that the player himself tried to play 4d chess without understanding the rules and it backfired spectacularly. Everyone thought money would solve the problem but Maranakis just put his foot down. In the end MGW had little choice but to sign a new deal, which happened very quickly btw, despite still desperately wanting out.

I know I'm not exactly explaining much, but this is 100% not the club's fault or even his reps for that matter, but I think I'd be really pushing my luck if I said any more than that tbh."
 
Surprised these young players are prioritising blood money over their career.
But if they're in The Blood Money business, then it IS their career!!

Best we can hope for now is an Elliot and Hackney double deal ..... surely one of them will turn out to be a decent player

Or an Alex Scott

Cut our cloth accordingly and all that :franksnarl:
I thought she'd retired....?
May as well go for Jermaine Jeans if we're That DESPERATE!
 
My mate at telegraph recons some player called Enzo Millot

I think Millot is going to A Madrid ......


The La Liga outfit has until the end of the month to obtain Millot via an €18m release clause in his current contract.
Los Colchoneros will surely be keen to acquire a €35m-valued player at approximately half his current estimated valuation.

I feel much better now that Trix has explained what happened

Top ITK.
 
Woolwich have already spent more than 200m, in this window, how much more can they afford? Wonder if we could price them out of a move.

For the most part the dosh is moot......

Fandom aside; where would you prefer right now?


Paying CP more won't change anything...... And realistically how much more would you have to pay the player to change his mind that football's not the most important thing in his life? ...........5-10m extra p/a (on top of what the scum offer) for 5 years?

If this happens I will change my name on here for a year to pay tribute to levy! :levyhands:

This is the we tried transfer mk2

And btw its always monitoring or identifying if you want to step ahead of the rivals while they have spent what they needed thus far you bid

Rodrygo is better on the lw which he isn't getting at Madrid due to vini so with son likely going rodrygo would be the main guy on the left. Bayern getting Diaz means one less team pit of the race and we have to hope Woolwich want eze more. Not a whole host of teams can afford 90 mill and city don't need him either

People actually cough up cash for this bullshit. Real money.
 
This is not the correct way to view transfers. Just because Pool spent 130m to sign someone better than Elliot does not mean he could not add things to our team that we don’t currently have. The balance in the side is more important than anything else, and at the moment we lack imaginative passers and creators.

My problem with Elliot is that there is plenty of rumour and evidence that he’s a dickhead and could easily go off the rails at any time. The background research should be telling us to pass.
But dippers did not pay 130M to replace Elliot as Elliot is not even a regular starter. They have bought a player who competes with their other starting 11 midfielders like gravenbach, macallister and the Hungarian.
