Deary me, is that all you have left in your arsenal ?

Too subtle for most to understand, Charles...

Childish drivel.

I said "I dont think so". Its my opinion. I didnt write "he's wrong". Illiterate tw*t..

Shaw, Di Maria, Hierra. Priceless, Turkey...

So what ? Cortese wouldnt have let them go.

Thats a fair summary. The biggest crime of this shambles is letting Lovren go without a replacement, without a doubt.

Who is acting like the sky is falling in ? I get the impression most of us are utterly ambivalent about the player himself, and are somewhat concerned/exasperated with the transfer activity of Uncle Les. Hardly Doomsday stuff. Maybe you should get a grip and stop the Hard Man / Über Fan / Cantankerous Old G*t act, whichever it is that taking your fancy today....

I dont think so.

Oh, I am sure the terms and conditions are separate for the two loans. But as I wrote a few mins ago, I guess Inter didnt want to pay a loan fee at this stage so told us to pick a player to come on loan from a short list so neither side passed over money. Strange some of you are totally incapable of understanding subtlety. I am guessing Sassuolo give us our money back. So everyone is satisfied. I have not suggested in the slightest that the collapse of this loan should mean Osvaldo should be coming back.

Indeed. I still think we took an Inter player to stop loan fees being exchanged, even if the deals are "separate". And Taider was top of a short list of utterly average players. Hope Stevegrant is big enough to apologise for his abuse the other day...

*sighs*

Isnt the Bournemouth airshow this week ?

It's not happening, is it ? I reckon we're done in the market. Hopefully out as well, if we are really done with incomings, since I dont think our squad can take much more weakening. Uncle Les being too clever and the board too tight-fisted as well, probably. Either that or they are poor communicators unable to sell their vision, or maybe as has been alluded to by certain ex-players, the vision is simply pants. Lets hope everyone stays fit..

European football's destiny is in completely the wrong hands. Platini confirmed that yesterday with his complete capitulation in the battle for the future direction of world football to Blatter. I didnt realise just how bent the seeding/draw for the CL was until I read Martin Samuel's article today. Arsenal get away with murder; it must be the French Connection.... The gap between the big boys, already massive due to the FFP (or should that be FUP, Financial Unfair Play) rules, is going to get far, far worse. 85-90 of the teams in the professional levels of English football are going to be reduced to hoping for an "MK Dons" moment to come along once in a blue moon...

FFS, this is a bit previous. We havent even seen Gardos or Taider yet. Lets see who these two last signings are before even making a preliminary judgement. I dont understand why the board didnt stand up to Lovren the way they have to Morgan, I dont get Chambers at all, and their communication was utterly f**king diabolical, but they seem to be getting things under control now.

Hodgson is a c*nt. He is clearly sending Clyne the message that he has to move on. The tapping up / message-sending starts with the very next England squad after the WC. Makes you almost feel like apologising to Gerrard. Rooney as captain too; hillarious.

I say rip their arm off. We will never get our money back.

Jesus.

The complaceny in this post is simply astounding....

Yes, because offering a theory is "complaining" Jesus, right bunch of touchy hysterical old women you've become

The bit where I DONT BELIEVE IT.

I dont have to explain myself to you.

Righty-ho, Turkey.. Skool starts next week, you know that dont you ?

Yes, I didnt watch a game for which I was unable to identify a source of coverage from here in Austria. Talk about stating the bleedin obvious
