Window Cleaner

To each his exit strategy I suppose, Dani had to go to stage 3, being an knob...didn't work, hitting a Newcastle assistant coach...nope, nutting José..bingo.

I'm not even sure where they are with their desire to acceed to the Euro system, sh*tty economy so probably none too close.

Which incidentally neither country involved uses at the present time.

Right so Brewster's Millions it is then.

But there must be better than Van Dijk as well, seems that we have a strictly limited budget to be adhered to. Perhaps we're waiting for the arse end of the window when clubs drop their valuations for respectable players.

although I'd have thought we could do better than Gardos really. Not seen much of him of course but players from the Romanian league do not really excite me.

You'd think we could attract better players than either of them really wouldn't you.

But at the end of the day you're only as good as your weakest link, make up your own mind whether that's KD,Gazzaniga,Jos or even Gallagher or Guly. That's why 7 teams finished above us, they didn't have weak players of that level or at least have to use them.

and do you work in a chip shop ?

:rolleyes:

Going on strike ? Rojo is owned at 75% by a venture capitalist, they probably tell him what they want him to do when an offer from a club like Utd comes in. They also manage his image rights. He's being told what to do by his owners as likely as not. Sporting have very little say in the matter, if we are to believe what we read the threshold for his contract with them to be interrupted has been reached so it is no longer valid. Deals like these are why 3rd party ownership is illegal in the premier league. You can't have an agency who are managing the player telling him what to do because they own him.

Ah must be just me being antiquaited then, I still open car doors and stuff for ladies, even my mother in law.

Tell me something Irene, there was a report on ESPN football or something like that last week stating that according to "sources close to the club" Koeman was not impressed by Artur. Would there be any substance in that and if so why exactly?

Why, does he live in Ocean Village then ?

Have you no shame speaking to a lady like that ...honestly. Make your point but keep it civil.

My my what cosmopolitan offices you all do work in.

Genuine question. Does anyone actually know when he last played ? Mid May perhaps.

Sick Note Grenier will still be at Lyon on the day he retires. Physically far too weak for a CM, he's not a winger either, they could at least get that bit right.

Obviously the team manager and the director of football thought otherwise. Forster was signed to be number 1, there was an article on ESPN sports a while back, apparently Koeman was not impressed with Boruc, how true that is I couldn't say, the fact that we've paid 10 million for a keeper tends to add weight to the argument though.

The deal was never going to happen...full stop.

Keep on hoping then, in reality Rojo is out of our league. I mean we could offer 15.8 million £ (or 20 million euros) in the same way as Utd but his 3/4 owners are probably more concerned with the subsequent images rights deal that they will no doubt get if he's at Utd. Januzaj has just signed up with them as well. It's getting to be a very concerning situation with nebulous groups like Doyen, they co-own the players, act as their agents and manage their image rights. The players seem to do nothing without their approval.

Well i wouldn't know whther he'll go to Utd or not but he would certainly have considered Saints as beneath his status. Especially as he probably had noticed how difficult it is to get out once you're in.

out of interest it's 10 million+ Chichires+Holtby....that was the last known (or reportedly so) offer. That's about 20 million £ in all, but we didn't want Chichires or Holtby, they're probably over our pay scale as it stands. So instead of signing Chichires for say the 35K/week that he'll be getting a Spurs we pursue the signing of his old oppo Gardos who'll be happy with less than half of that sum as he's coming directly from Roumania.

Perhaps we had a pre-defined sum of money that we wanted to obtain and took the shortest route to that objective. Who knows what the reasoning behind it all really is/was. However there is one no doubt coincidental occurence...the sales ended (or so they say) and so did Hofstetter....reputed as an expert in corporate finance and part time attorney,

To be honest Altidore had failed as a striker virtually everywhere he'd played except at Alkmaar, think if you tot up his games elsewhere (except for MLS which is worth absolute firk all) you get a bit over 100 games for a handful of goals, say 8 or 9. At Alkmaar 55 from about 110/115. Can't see why Sunderland signed him as he'd already proved at Hull that he was shîte. As for Pelle well we'll going to find out very soon aren't we.
