Yeah, potentially I think Burnley would rather lose him on a free personally (well, take the risk and attempt to convince him to resign through the course of the season) They'd only have to spend what they receive in transfer fees to replace him, and why take the risk? Obscene PL money is at stake.

We pursued Ings. It hasn't come off (yet). Pretty simple.

Nope, I'd be more than enthused by his addition. The fee speculated is undoubtedly high though (by a few mil).

Morgan's quite capable of dragging himself down, evidently. Furthermore, how did you manage to cope supporting Southampton pre-2006?

This.

I did. Regardless of whether I forgot about that specific sentence, my original point remains, that tenuous link (which is over a year old) is representative of the Barcelona fan-base? You think it is, evidently. I see it as a year old toss-up between Samaras and Klose.

I read the article, couldn't reconcile what you decided to conclude with the article, questioned ("tenuous link"), forgot about that specific line (admittedly), assumed that you were now spouting your deductions based on the source article (which wasn't referenced in the Express article), re-read Express article and subsequently realised you weren't, returned to original line of questioning. Incidentally, who's "punctuation Barry"

Haha, punctuation, obviously (the life of typing on a phone). Besides, I made no mention of spelling

I would've done, had you taken the time to grasp the correct usage of puncatation, I.e. I failed to recognise that you were quoting from the article (I thought you were asserting). Furthermore, I'm struggling to believe that you deemed that poll to be representative of opinion on Samaras, rather than representative of a choice between Samaras and Klose (as Bearsy has already mentioned).

Yes, hence why I questioned what you said. At any rate, here's the original article in its entirety - http://www.mundodeportivo.com/20131013/los-internautas-se-decantan-por-el-fichaje-de-georgios-samaras_54390985016.html I'm convinced....

That article is close to a year old.

You posted a link to an Express article. Care to post a link to the article you've just now mentioned? And you're welcome

The article doesn't make reference to the Barcelona fan-base. I suggest you take the time to read it.

So a tenuous link in the Express represents the position of the Barcelona fan-base? Fo' real?

"Competition for Sam Gallagher" isn't exactly a compliment.

Semantics.

Haha, damn auto-correct, right?

You're not, pal. I *believe* in you! In all seriousness, your posts are valued by this here poster. P.S "tentative information" was basically a contraction of your third paragraph there i.e. 'stuff' doesn't always transpire as expected.

Please, 'come backs' are for children. Just a different perspective - I do hope you can handle that. Reference 'omniscience', you discredit the guy because he didn't know about two specific incidents, ergo, you conclude the rest of his information is trash because he's not aware of *all* the comings and goings. And I trust you'll be referring to his smiley posts as 'noise' when he's confirming incoming transfers in the coming days/weeks, yes?

However miserable you deem him/her to be, he/she hasn't resorted to 'threats' of violence as a result of reading posts on an internet message board. How do you cope with real problems, pal?

This would be my assessment. Concrete information is posted several hours before official confirmation. Anything else is (likely to be) speculation based on the tentative information provided by his/her source.

A wit that rivals Oscar Wilde's. Bravo, sir.

You appear to be suffering from a case of 'selective memory'. Besides, being 'ITK' does equate to being 'omniscient'.

Surely this post is worthy of an infraction(?).
