Why would clubs agree to pay the whole of a sell-on fee in an initial lump-sum when payments are usually staggered? Have you got a source for that?

Fingers crossed!

Talking of former strikers, this is the guy we need: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosimo_Sarli

WRONG THREAD

Camara was class though.

I saw him in Rhino club.

Worst "wonder goal" ever!

Fin.

Really? I see this cliché trotted out on here quite a lot but the world is full of people who are ****e at their job but bumble through regardless without any proactive management for many, many years. Are you sure you would be sacked? Are you sure you're not one of those people?

Indeed. I know lots of people who have worked for PWC, Deloitte, KPMG etc. and I can confirm that none of them are billionaires.

Is he, or is he just a patsy for Alisher Usmanov?

He'd work well alongside Carsten Janker or Oliver Bierhoff. I just hope Paul Hart and Arrigo Sacchi can get him playing near his best.

I think the police should investigate that. Sounds rather racist to me.

Frankly, if Walcott commands £100k a week and Arsenal want something like £20million, I'd rather just play Josh Sims.

The only thing we got wrong in the summer (apart from appointing MP) was not adding a striker.

This. Yes, the city centre has some shiny generic shops and bars. Much like any other city centre. Go out to where people live and it's a dump full of feral wastrels. I don't hold out Southampton to be some glorious paradise but neither do I buy into any suggestion that Liverpool is nice. It isn't.

I've been there. Thought it was ****.

Because Ings has barely played for years and Sturridge is a prize **** and both of them are probably on wages we don't want to pay. Apart from that, yeah, they're probably a bunch of idiots.

Maybe they can investigate this while they're at it: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jan/25/everton-farhad-moshiri-alisher-usmanov-new-money-ownership

If someone has the ball and you kick the lower half of their leg you are not going to get sent off unless you stamp on them, use excessive force, go in two footed etc.... If they haven't got the ball then it's just a kick and you will get sent off. That's why Beckham got sent off, although it was more of a tap than a kick and could hardly be called violent so the red was harsh. It's not at all relevant to this discussion in any case. The chap that Fer tripped had the ball. He wasn't lunging two-footed, he wasn't high, he didn't stamp, it wasn't with excessive force etc. It was a cynical trip. Yellow card What you are saying is that all referees are applying the law incorrectly apart from this one trail-blazing hero.

There are numerous deliberate trips in every match. You know full-well why it isn't a red card by any stretch of the imagination. Stop being a berk.

It was clearly not a red card and the ref made a ridiculous decision. That said, there is some merit in saying that the laws of the game ought to provide additional sanction for fouls which are clearly purely cynical.

Could be the least of his problems.... http://www.espn.co.uk/football/liverpool/story/3328015/liverpools-dejan-lovren-faces-perjury-probe-in-croatia-reports

This is obviously what we should do. I'm not being sarcastic. It's obvious. No idea why we don't.

No, I'm sure we'll sign someone but it will be towards the end of the window and a waste of money given the useless manager they will play under
