I think this forum is not for you.

Swansea under Garry Monk could be a right force next season. And Villa have signed Joe Cole and everything. Oh, I so wish I supported them.

Quite a lot on twitter, surprised there isn't a dedicated thread on here already.

Ohhhhh yessss.

Chelsea to win the league. Man U to replace Liverpool in top 4, probably second. City and Arsenal 3/4. Down will be Swansea West Brom Burnley Outside bet for relegation is Hull whose mental owner decides to sack Steve Bruce in November and replace him with Dean Windass. Derby to come up automatically, with Fulham. Middlesbrough do a Burnley from nowhere and go up but through the play offs.

Sharp will probably end up L1 or maybe the Championship. Who plays where in glorified training kick abouts in neither here nor there.

You could have PM'd us both with that gem.

Let's go back to the beginning. You started by saying why buy now when he'll be free next year. I pointed out that's highly unlikely to be the case at which point you decided I was not working in the realms of reality. Interestingly, MLG pointed out he wouldn't be free anyway, so one-nil to my version of reality. In the world of reality Burnley are very very unlikely to let Ings run his contract down to zero and in the world of reality Ings is very very unlikely to let his contract run down, and if he does it won't be out of "loyalty". So don't pretend "I don't understand" when your grasp of reality is so feeble.

Deary me. I think the only assuming going on is from you, boiling down a complex and multi - faceted process into a black/white decision point. There are myriad ways this process could play out over the next six weeks and indeed the next twelve months. Of those outcomes, Ings walking out for free (or a tribunal fee) is way down the list, just above Ings signing for Barcelona. Keep this stuff up and you will soon be one of my favourite pet forum idiots. You don't have a view on the Boston bombing do you?

And he's just banked fifty odd mill in in-no-way inflated fees.

Nice info, cheers. Inflated fees, eh? Fancy that.

Pretty easy when your "predictions" cover every single conceivable outcome.

Georgio Burlieo?

Their version of NickG never said that or anything like that and you are deliberately misunderstanding them on purpose or something. You need to understand the meaning of "might maybe realistically aim to possibly try to realistically target" something, mate.

Running his contract down to the bitter end is not actually "giving back to their club", is it? It's fu cking them over. Ings won't do that. It's called reality.

That, or they sell him. Pretty common practice at every football club, everywhere. Kinda "the realms of reality", I'd say. Far more realistic than the "oh look! A free player!!" nonsense you're coming out with.

Let's assume, for a second, that Burnley won't let him run his contract down and just leave on a free.

Alpine was right, as your quote proves. Subjectivity basically means "opinion" in contrast to objectivity which is cold hard facts. This entire forum is subjectivity, except for maybe the full time scores. Don't hang Alpine on that point. The objective facts prove he is an effing chubby idiot but he is right on that one point.

Not really: surely the only ambition a player ever needs is to play for a team with ambition and vision. RK has, I'm sure, convinced Lovren that we will be that team. And as we know playing for a team with ambition to play at a higher level beats playing for a team who already are at a higher level hands down.

Fraser Forster?

Les "too much power" Reed is only responsible for stuff that goes wrong. Good stuff is all down to other people.

Feyenoord? Feye-sale more like.

My favourite bit is when he accuses "the forum" of being "illiterate".

I think I speak for everyone on the forum when I say I love jizz cocks.

Nah, he's on an obscene amount of money. Once someone sat him down and told him that his ambition to ever play anywhere else simply disappeared.
