Monroe Transfer

Shipped out by the bucketload? One left because we were offered well over his real value. One left because he isn't very good (Routledge). One left because the chairman lied to him. Barton is still here and might stay after all. I haven't got a problem with them all being French to be honest. It's just the way it is, I don't see an agenda in place which states we must bring in French players. We've still got plenty of British staff around the place. The above players have left for specific and very different reasons. Replacing them with Englishmen is usually a bad idea nowadays as every English player has a higher price on his head than his foreign equivalent purely because he's English.

One has started in Middlesbrough now too apparently

So it's not coincidence that he bought a house next to one?

£4.5m apparently. Even more reason to be annoyed.

Shane Long to West Brom confirmed, £7m-ish. More ambition than us?

On the way from there to Peterborough methinks.

Says it all really. Whats the official fee by the way? Probably something to do with the 25 man squad thing. I was wondering if he was referring to Obertan being Routledge's direct replacement. Couldn't commit to bringing him in until Routledge left, or something.

All about whether he wants to come here though. His best mate/lover, Timmy, plays for us. He'll come.

PSV need the money perhaps?

Easy to say that on a forum.

Apparently it is old then

Sorry if old. This is appalling and I found it quite uncomfortable to watch how brazen they are about it. Scum.

exactly. Tear gas the cunts, then deport those who shouldn't be here [of which I would bet there are a lot] Yeah, that'd go down well wouldn't it.

This has caused the England friendly to be called off. So at least something good has come about from it.

He's a replacement for Routledge I'd have thought.

That'll teach me for doubting 'Sportsmail Reporter'.

He scored apparently. .co.uk would only refer to him as "the French trialist" in their match report.

Yeah I'm struggling to see the humour in that.

Sweet Jesus.

Zany.

Has he signed or not then?

Ouch. http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2011/08/08/jody-mcintyre/

Well fuck me sideways... It's those evil video games that are at fault here! Of course! Wouldn't be surprised if they blame Marilyn Manson for it as well on page 2 (you know how those little rascals in Tottenham love a bit of Marilyn Manson).
