Golac's Cunning Stunts

How reliable is Talk Sport? They are saying the Livra deal is not done The Magpies are believed to have offered £30million for the right-back, who has made five appearances for the England U21s. However, this is way below Southampton’s valuation, with the Championship newcomers wanting £50million. https://talksport.com/football/1508055/ Edit: I see it's Alex Crook

I got mine displayed in the living room cabinet

Interestingly enough, I believe he is represented by Wasserman, the same agency who represent Eddie Howe

Chelsea will have a hefty sell on percentage for sure. At one stage it was rumoured they were in for him. They have a £25m buy back clause as well - would be funny if they came in and gazumped newcastle, although I'm not sure how all that works to be honest I'm sure the deal with newcastle will be dependent on games played given his history of injuries

The bit I am disputing is that many people considered him the best RB in the league last year…

Not sure if that’s true? Did he get in the championship team of the year? Can’t be bothered to look it up… Either way, he is clearly not Tino or kwp quality

Agreed and there really aren't that many are there?

they are both shit IMHO, hence why we are playing in the championship

All this talk about Tino and not being fussed about losing him, he might not be the same player etc. If he reaches anywhere near the heights he did before the injury, he will be a hell of a player. Bree is a journeyman. Will be a shame not to have Tino for this season, but reality will probably dictate otherwise. However, I won't be one of those saying I'm not fussed about losing him. A reality of relegation, but a shame all the same.

We don't get to find the next tino/kwp in the championship I'm afraid

I take it you mean any championship club? No Prem clubs would be happy with it

and utterly crap defenders and utterly crap managers

That's harsh. We all know it was a boyhood dream of his to play for al-hilal

Seen a few articles linking us to him. Was a flop at Everton but probably better than Lyanco

All great teams have a rock solid DM. Lavia will be part of a great team. Unfortunately it won't be us and last season he was playing with pretty much 10 other gash players

Spot on. It's a massive step up from youth / reserve team to a full blooded Championship season. If we're using international experience as a measure, then World Cup semi finalist Orsic should have had no problems last season.

So said Hitler

So all the teams that will be fighting relegation then. Says everything you need to know.

As we know, all the big clubs don't give a shit about FFP. It's bollocks. Here's Manure and Barcelona the latest 2 to get fined - I mean, those fines are peanuts compared to the revenue they pull in, so it absolutely pays to break the FFP rules https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-ffp-fine-b1094498.html

It's only fair they should get to set the price they want given the expenses Klopp will have incurred entertaining Lavia in Blackpool

West Ham 'expected to bid £20 million' for James Ward-Prowse https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/23646213.west-ham-expected-bid-20-million-james-ward-prowse/

Seen a couple of reports saying an imminent bid is incoming from the wet spam for..... ahem... £20m

Club PR man: "Max that's not the club badge you idiot"

The home games v Blackpool and Grimsby were some of the worst football I ever saw Saints play and I have been around long enough to have seen them play gash numerous times in the past

Not expecting to replace Lavia and JWP with someone just as good, but would be nice to think we can replace some of the other dross with better
