I used to rate Tristan, haven't seen him for the last couple of seasons though.

He and Valeron were mint for Deportivo about 4 years ago, but we all know who else was......

Am I the only person finding some amusement in the situation at Manchester city.

No. For one thing they hate us and they ally themselves with the Mackems. Can you get much lower than that?

I've lost track of the relevant thread, but how many clubs has Shola turned down this summer? Are we really pricing him out of anything?

 

 

He contends we are over pricing him.

 

Despite the fact we've agreed a fee with more than one club and he's been all due to sign the dotted line only for himself to change his mind at the last minute?

 

Fuck off stroller...
