Yes, that’s exactly what the Swansea manager confirms in the article. He literally says that. Duff insisted. "There will be a valuation of every player. If it's met, they get sold. That's the food chain. It doesn't matter where you are in the football world.

Yeah alright MLG, I never said there weren’t some shockers. Sheesh.

Please don’t do that. I’d somewhat forgotten him and I was all the happier for it. Besides, we’ve otherwise got a alright record of Norwegians. Claus, Egil, Soldvedt, Jo. We did alright out of Norge.

Imagine if there was zero transfer activity for SFC between now and the window. None in, none out. Where does that leave us? I’d say, a phenomenal squad for this level but probably losing a fuck ton of money. But the club are playing hard ball on prices so goodness knows what will happen!

He’s one that if we lost I would totally understand but if we kept then, at this level, he could be phenomenal. God knows where his head is at, let alone his actual fitness/injury level. 1 week left until that window slams shut, gonna be a roller coaster I’m sure.

A week ago there were reports of Monaco putting in a 25M euro bid for him. Would’ve thought the club might have jettisoned him for that sort of offer, but it seems to have gone very dry since.

I got the blue one 👍

I don’t need a t-shirt thanks, I’ve still got my 2014 “Stop Stamping On My Dreams” one hanging up in the wardrobe. Good luck with the sales though 👍

A bit part player but earning £120k a week with two years left on his contract. I think you’d have to believe in miracles to think he’d end up here. But, you know, never say never 🤣

If 10 million is on the cards it’s a no brainer. He’s not a starter but a useful sub. Anyway, I’m only seeing these rumours emanate from 2 or 3 days ago, so we’ll see.

Really? A little surprised with that though not massively bothered. I thought he was someone who was onboard with Martin.

What do Americans call a toilet? Then there’s a couple of the second thing.

Closest I got is Maradona but don’t know why it would be don for the second bit. Also the other clues mostly use first name surname except 6 of course which doesn’t need it.

Compared to which days? 😬

So I got a Simon Drew card recently (I love his cards) and one of the answers is doing my nut in. I’ve got 1-6 but simply cannot get 7. Here it is for full consumption.

Quite interesting, a supposed league official has come out and said that Greenwood’s brand may be too toxic for Saudi Arabia. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12436081/Where-Mason-Greenwood-go.html 🤣

🤣 Groundhog Day

What a surprise. Warner’s former leader Prigozhin has died in a plane crash. Shocked, I tell you. https://news.sky.com/story/ten-killed-in-private-jet-crash-north-of-moscow-wagner-leader-yevgeny-prigozhin-on-passenger-list-12946006

Hear Ford. Ffs

Looks like India have just safely landed a lander and rover on the South Pole of the moon. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-india-66576580 I flipping love stuff like this. Will be very interesting to see developments over the next weeks and months, the idea is to try and find out how much water ice is there and how it can be reclaimed for drinking water / rocket propellant.

I know, right?!

My one contribution to this thread was a video of a former Old Bailey judge who was making the case against changing the law for defendants being compelled to be present for sentencing. She made a very good case. Yet apparently that’s just trolling. Utterly bizarre.

I’ll always the remember the two games we played at St Mary’s shortly after it opened, both got crowds of around 10K. Also got to see the majesty of Federico “The Torpedo” Arias. Sadly he was nowhere close on the Jonno Quick scale, he made Joe Aribo look fast.

Spotters badge for you, looks like it.
