One thing it does say is that he feels both confident in himself to come out (after all it was illegal 50 odd years ago) as well as SFC being an environment where he feels comfortable being himself.

Hope you are not tempting fate!!

Not quite. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-everton/transfers/verein/29/saison_id/2017

If the Chinese Gov did not want him to buy us, then I suspect that they would have got their wish.

Gao couldn't get his money out of China to buy us due to government financial regulations so borrowed the money from an off short bank to finance the deal while using his off shore assets as collateral.

He 28 in a couple of weeks time.

But it would be ballsier if a current PL player came out.

I am always curious as to who is the arbiter of what is normal and abnormal.

Two wing back, 1 centre back, 6 midfielders and a CF yet to be signed?

True, but in life, it is much better to be magnanimous.

Watching Barca last night, he has to be better than what they have!!

Listen, we all know that the situation has been driven by his agent, and it is his agent that is the villain of the peace. If he comes back then I would be more than happy to forgive so long as there is 100% commitment.

For me, the manner he got his red card vs WBA was a little "strange".

No not kidding. I'm not talking about what happens in a country that follows some religious tenet that advocates killing homosexuals. I'm talking about this country. As for right wingers being more predisposed to extreme homophobia, I would actually look more closely at those in this country whose codified tenets condone the killing of homosexuals.

Adrian, you say that the "retarded comment" is the typical reason for gay pride, but in this day and age, do gay people really cop a lot of shît? While I understand the footballing world might be different, with lots of men in a small changing room, I thought (maybe naively) that the outside world had moved on. Now, I am going to take you to task a little. In your taking Duckie to task on his unenlightened views, you yourself have come out with a somewhat ignorant comment (due to flippancy) that has no place in modern society. This "retarded" business has no place now (or ever) - retards make retarded comments. FWIW my kid is retarded with a deletion in his 15th chromosome (hence my user name).

Their transfer dealings have been a little bizarre. They seem to have put all their eggs in the vD basket and seemingly have no Plan B. If they get no one, then they really have no one to blame but themselves. They obviously thought that we would sell without a fight and it seemingly (although there are still 2 weeks to go) is going to backfire. I head on the radio (talk****e) a sensible Liverpool caller (complete with Cockney accent) saying that the best option would not to spend £60m (this is pre Ralph's words today) but instead get Sakho back in the team. That fat **** Quim said no way that was going to happen as the relationship has completely gone. Well, some Scousers were going on about us cutting our nose off to spite our face (by not selling to them!!!!!) when really, they really are cutting their nose off over Sakho.

Cos we are a selling club and should be grateful for what people offer us?

That's very true. What is usually, half the teams in the qualifiers are pretty average? How many groups is that 8? So 16 average teams with say 24 out field players each.

Just about to post that.... Incredible. Rich man goes 1½ hours to hang out in London = signing for Chelsea. **** me this is getting beyond silly now.

Not impossible if someone bids a stupid amount. I suspect if it was £80m+ then that would do it. But who would spend that much?

Hoedt is with SEG. vD is with Wasserman.

For examples, in the 67th and 74th minutes.

AS you say LFC and press won't believe it. What they fail to understand is that our business model seems to have changed, both due to increase in money coming in, as well as a new owner. Kreuger even said that there was no need to sell THIS year unlike in other years. But no one seems to be listening. (As a caveat, I do realise that everyone has their price, and if anyone was to offer £80m or more, then.......)

With 21 players in Swansea's half for much of the game on the weekend, I thought that Long might have come on to try and beat them with the ball over the top. But we huffed and we puffed and we couldn't blow the wall now.

He came out months ago, not that I particularly care what someone's sexuality is. https://www.outsports.com/2016/10/11/13245004/hugo-scheckter-gay-football-association-soccer
