And I thought you’d be troubled by having “love bet” slapped in bright white over their shirts.

The better side without really creating much. The odd flourish from Redmond apart, not much quality on display from either side.

Yep a recurring theme.

Impressed with Romeu so far (chance apart).

Che is a bit lucky there.

Any way of contacting them without going through Facebook - don’t use that ****.

Pure, unadulterated passion.

I assume a final transfer fee is agreed in advance for loans with an exclusive option to buy? Or is it negotiated/determined if and when a team exercises the option to buy?

Can we get a Lallanaesque sway in there too?

So is it a loan with an option to buy or something more binding? Seen contradictory reports.

A commercial and communication failure? Relax pal.

Did he injure one of his players in the process, proceed to concede an injury time penalty and get sent off?

It’s like the bloody Lernaean Hydra - you can cut the head off one oddball (eg cabbage face), someone else will just take their place.

Good lad.

The way things are shaping up, our first XI might be a bit too ‘exotic’ for a small section of our fan base.

SSN mentioning his wiki photo is of him in a preseason friendly against us 2 years ago (Augsburg infamously smashed us 4-0 that night).

Interesting, thanks.

Doesn’t appear he’s a starter for Augsburg.

Edit

Like we did with Carrillo No doubt he’s in our database and some grunt has assembled a bit video footage, as we’ve probably done with hundreds of players (the costs of ‘following’ a player aren’t prohibitively high). Doesn’t mean he was a serious target.

Yep Ralph binned it.

Some have suggested that...

Yep saw that - looks a very interesting prospect. That it has Ralph’s fingerprints all over it only makes it more exciting.

If Austin (not a huge fee/savings in wages all things considered) was a precondition to getting a deal done, it just shows what constraints we’re working under.
