Alex

Are we arguing about sharks now?

Just a shame he wasn’t discovered in time for a minute’s silence ahead of Monday’s match

He needs 1,000 followers for a fixed-term contract.

Yeah. It screams attention seeking. If you’re that in the know, you’re either one of the journalists getting fed info directly or you keep schtum. Even got the all will revealed in the future trick that’s about as subtle as a soap opera cliffhanger. Obviously I’d be delighted to be proven wrong

Not that gobshite again

Not so much clutching at straws, more grasping at thin air as you plunge to inevitable death.

Nice one. Chuffed for you

I think they can still make him travel so he can be assessed.

I just think it would be overstepping their remit. I would imagine they only get involve if a member approaches them or if they feel a club or body is behaving egregiously towards their member(s).

Aye they represent the players

You can if you’re Ryan Giggs

What do you call four Mexicans in quicksand? Quattro cinco

He’s 28

If this isn’t the he’s 28 gag (and even if it is) he’ll either have half a season left or be out of contract. Not saying we’d definitely pursue a deal but he’s a versatile forward and Brentford would be fortunate to get 25% of what they’re asking now come January

I think the only way we get both is Larsen now and Wissa in January/next summer

Loads of the shitshow is avoided by tying up the signing of Wissa (a player desperate to come here) for circa £35m right at the start of the window. It should’ve been very straightforward in the context of transfers and would’ve been amenable to Brentford because it gives them cash + time to sort a replacement. So fuck if we’d ended up paying £40m + £5m in add ons to get it done. Hindsight obviously but still….

Assuming it happened (it won’t) we’d pay the £30m or so Juve want plus the last year of his contract (£12m) as his signing on fee. We wouldn’t be able to offer what he’s on but he’s not going to get that anywhere else either so that’s mitigated by his getting a four year contract or whatever. All moot of course

Hope it’s as good as the one for Espana ‘82.

Their nickname’s ’The Terriers’ isn’t it?

The Stadium of Lightly-Attended Cup Ties

Liverpool supporter from London. Because of course he is

Does anyone honestly think The Guardian would still make continual reference to the ownership if the Saudis had bought Liverpool or Man Utd? Despite their misplaced air of smug superiority that paper’s coverage of football is fucking shite. And I think it was HMHM who pointed out our having someone as appalling bad as Louise Taylor covering the north east for the last 20 years or so shows they’re as contemptuous of the region as any of their supposedly less progressive rivals.

British record thing is being mentioned so it appears we’re being unreasonable if we tell Liverpool to fuck right off. Or even if we don’t offer signs of encouragement so Liverpool can go about making the initial preparations ahead of readying their record breaking bid
