Being prepared is one thing but with 6 million signed on at Pole Emploi opportunity is something else. There is no work for a lot of French people in France so paperless migrants have no chance whatsoever. Still I expect they're clued up on the generous benefits which create the no work situation in the first place. A job in France costs the employer twice the amount the worker actually receives, and tax isn't at source here, it's all social charges to give to scroungers, tax on top later. Whereas benefits are tax free. the French just want rid of these people and the chaos they're causing.

Was it not rumoured that Koeman wanted to buy him for whatever the asking price was but the TC turned him down because they didn't think he was worth the price? Left the door open to a move at a far lower (or non-existant) sum though.

Apparently Toby got married last Friday...did we know that ? Wonder if any of our other lads went to the ceremony.

Absolutely, neither Lambert or Chambers are really top 4 club material. Lallana will play a lot next season I think, can't see why he wouldn't, last summer was very tiring for WC players and an awful lot of them had dips in form and on and off injuries, it happens after every WC cup summer even if they're not in the searing heat of Brazil for 6 weeks or so.

Perhaps, I do not much concern myself with Liverpool, they are a giant club with a record of titles, cups and CL wins (well just the one but about 5 European Champion's Cups I think). Any player would feel honoured to be part of that set up I think.

Liverpool, like Saints, will have at least 50 games next season, there's plenty of time for everyone to get plenty of playing time. Football has become a squad game and if you don't have reasonable cover for every position you get wild dips in form.

Who's being dismissive, I keep hearing that we have some fantastic players in the academy, I'm just waiting for one of them to step up, play 25 or 30 games at 80 minutes + and not be sold the summer afterwards.

Never mind,don't we have some fantastic players in the academy who'll step up and see us through, then again I remember hearing that a couple of times already, in 2008 notably.

plus they've got a few other Belgians, do Belgians have a herd mentality, don't remember it in Wallonia but perhaps in Flanders they do, the dutch certainly like to hang out amongst themselves.

Morgan will replace him in the French XI anyway because Cabaye is on the slippery slope in the role that Deschamps insists on giving him, ie sentry in front of the defence, Pogba and Kondogbia could do it but Deschamps considers them too impetous and prone to absent mindedness or gung-ho charging forward, he keeps saying that they both have to improve on that sector of their game.

And even then it would depend if Reed actually controls the purse strings. He may want to sign the player but isn't permitted to agree to the amount in question.

Perhaps but as Toby has always said it's up to Atletico Madrid, perhaps they're just hacked off at having to pay us an extra 2 million euros in the first place, perhaps they've been subsidising Toby's salary for the past 11 months, we know nothing except that that he says.

Occult meaning hidden or dark.....they're still under investigation as far as I know, they were all hauled up before investigating magistrates a while back.

Odd transfers are one of Wenger's foibles. There have been a few, like Miyaichi and Squillaci. In fact he seems to go for players with the Ch sound in their name.....

Ah well, bullsh*tting is so widely spread now that it purports to almost anything. There only used to be 2 main reasons for it, getting someone to lend you money or get a chance at sha@gging some poor girl who was probably out of your league. Nowadays it's just a popular pastime because you've nothing else to do.

But if they could all move to say Ostend or the Hook to try their luck that would be extremely handy. We've half of our army on street corners watching out for terrorists as it is already.

Now I know it's all to do with flux and all that but these odds do really surprise me. To me, being the ultimate cynic, I think that this is just a rumour that we've allowed to be put about to gee up potential buyers. Players are back next week and we need to be getting our next season's squad sorted and we can't do that until Morgan is gone.

Would about 60 million French count?

Not for any of the "targets" that I've read about on this very forum, the pole won't sign because we're beneath him and we won't pay any more than 13 million for either Gueye or Clasie, perhaps there's someone else that I missed. If we should break our transfer record I expect it will be for Toby, then again you'd have to factor in the 2 million € that they have to give us first.

Wasn't that Tim ? Could be both I suppose, not taken much notice of either of them.

Especially when they're still offering 2-1 on a "done deal" in the case of Skybet. A couple of hours after this bomb of information you could still get 4s.

ah yes 10sport, wasn't that the bunch of clowns who were putting it about last summer that KL wanted to sell, nay was desperate to sell and a firesale was the order of the day. Do not take any notice of anything they print, it's all bolloaks and agent hype.

As you like, for me anything out of Marseille is on a par with Portsmouth. Don't forget how they blew the championship last season. That was about player mentality.

It's not a French problem at all, it's a Schengen problem, once they're in the Schengen space there are no controls until they try to get out of it and into Britain. Thanks to the catastrophic gouvernance of Hollande and his loony left acolytes we now have 3.55 million people totally unemployed and another 2 million on very reduced hours. All of this because the loony left insist on letting people for whom we have no solution stay in the country and refuse to close the borders. Sarko threw a load out and Brussels came down on him like a ton of bricks. Just wait and see what happens when the Front get elected.
