Perhaps he ought to give Berahino a call to discuss how to ruin a career: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48416456

That has been the case 2014 - December 2017 perhaps but the default setting now is "can't even give them away because they earn too much ...".

Agree, I still think he'd offer more as a DM for us than we've currently got.

The only interest appears to have been as a back up option in case another deal doesn't come off.

Wonder what this does for Mario and his massive ego: great player that he is - in his own mind - yet the fact remains no one wants to buy him. In other walks of life this might be used as a motivation to redouble efforts to achieve your goal, in football though it's more likely to produce a massive sulk.

Shame he's gone if he was Ralph's preferred assistant but easy to see why he'd want to be in his home country and with Bayern. Just hope Ralph is content with his assistants, two ex golakeeping coaches,(and is it Fleming?), along with Sparkes.

Can see Barcelona letting him go out for a season, https://www.football-espana.net/78680/fc-barcelona-concern-over-jean-clair-todibo

Perhaps they've learnt from watching our mishandling of an obligation to buy deal. Couldn't expect Reed to come up with anything as sharp as that when he lumbered us with Ings.

Another great piece of recruitment down to Bunsen.

Please...

I'd rather they concentrate on getting the design right rather than anything else.

Saw this quote from Boris in an article today: Obviously before Penny. Think he had a few choice remarks about Liverpool once as well, which Cameron sent him up there to apologise for.

I think the ill feeling goes back before then into the 1970's when Norf London yobbos rioted over there in a UEFA Cup match (c 1972 -74). Was one of the early outbreaks of English yobs on the continent and caused quite a shock in the media

No, but I think most understand they have no incentive to move on, but unfortunately put their earnings above their self-esteem in wanting to play. The anger is towards the d!ckhead who gave ludicrous and needlessly extended contracts.

The article says: I read this as he has 12 months from .. 14th August SuperSAINT advises... to complete the purchase. So until 14th August 2020.

Perhaps these are not fakes - and the genuine article really is that shoddy

Sign him up... loan him to the skates, we can crowd fund his wages whilst he's down there.

'The Chinese Mike Ashley' ?

Credit to him for that then but it still does't stop him from being a shortarse who is easily beaten in the air at the back post too often.

All very well doing those tricks in what likes dry arid conditions, but could he do it on a rain lashed Wednesday in November away at Burnley ? Providing he's not George Weah's cousin.

Some true to form defensive calamities in there as we've come to expect. Couple of other observations: What has become of Ralph's previous assistant Rohl ? Were has the other umlaut gone ? Who on earth sanctioned a grey kit ?

Therein lies the problem though. I don't suppose the club give a monkeys if a few are surplus and kicking their heels for a few months, other than the fact they are draining the £ at the same time.

A few years ago there was a trend of putting their squad number attaching to the autograph. I see a 15 there in your photo.Might be a clue, although might also lead to the question how recently it was signed.

I thought the story was he came here to buy a Sunseeker. Bit unfair to blame whoever was on Yach****ch duties. They probably spotted him although mistook him for Dalian Wanda, hence that rumour began...
