Rossal is a proper thick cսnt.

Not a thick cսnt like twoleftfeet, who knows he’s a thick a cսnt. 

An actual thick cսnt who thinks he knows it all.

oooo touched a nerve earlier did I?  Proper thick cսnt that's rattled you good and proper

Malen going Roma loan with a €25m option.  Wants to play up top as a number 9. 

Turns 27 in a few days, a better option than either of the two we got? 


 

Son, you think when he's got the option of joining Roma, live in Rome, and fight for the title, he'd join a club falling apart, who have just been thumped by the leagues rock bottom team, and lost to the team they are battling with directly to stay up?

You live in a dream world.

[Eerie Decent]

There is an alternative version of the Paqueta story. The club has been touting him out to other clubs including London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham, because they will get more money from them. Flamingo are only prepared to offer up to €40m. Paqueta is only interested in going back to Brazil and is prepared to wait until the summer. Paqueta hasn’t downed tools and is available to play.

I’m not saying which version is true, only that there are at least two sides to the story. This also doesn’t change the fact that he often loses the ball and pretends to be fouled, and doesn’t create or score much. However, he is still better than anyone else we have in this position.

Given that he used the fact that he asked not to play in a game in his trial, and Moyes stood up in court and backed it up, it's hardly beyond reason to assume that it is him refusing to play. He also said some rubbish on social media at the beginning of this season that this was his last year, or words to that effect, even though he had 2 years to run on his contract.

As much as it's everyone's favourite game to bash the club, and I include myself in that, let's be real, this is clearly being driven by him. No need for the conspiracy on this one.

He's never a centre forward, not in this league anyway. Half useful winger. Flakey.

We're going down mate. No one half decent is coming here.

[Rossal]

So since the start of the window we are turning up to Spurs most likely without

Earthy, Ghillurme, Fullkrug, Paqueta, Wilson and Marshall 

 

More concerned that we have no new defenders.

None of those listed above are a great loss.

Yeah but Van der Ven and Romero for you are still probably better than anything we have

Even by our standards that is impressive. We need goals to win games or don't anyone at the club realise that? 

 

 

A bit dramatic and fail to mention the two new arrivals.

The Wilson situation ain't right though, surely we need him and he's been frozen out. You have to wonder why Nuno disregarded him before the two new blokes had even kicked a ball.

Usually with new arrivals you might say to the current players in those positions you've got a bit of competition son, not right you can go now you ain't required anymore.

We just signed 2 younger / better / fitter strikers than them, and only Paqueta was playing regularly.
At least Nuno signed them and wants them, both are playing and contributing. 

Taty looks ok, I think no Wilson, Earthy or Paqueta sat if they are all unavailable is spectacularly bad management on our part...... as usual

Just start preparing for the championship for fucks sake. Eric fucking Dier ain't gonna move the needle is he? The lumbering lego headed spurs donkey. Fuck off. No superheroes are joining this fucking shitshow and that's what we need now. Sensible young signings for a massive reset. This is all I want now. I'm actually up for the championship if we do this. But if we keep fucking Nuno and cunts like Kilman and Mavrocuntchops are still at the club then I aint interested, I hope we go out of fuckin business. But all these silly bollocks links to expensive idiots and unlikely loans for average players fucking piss me off. What's the fucking point? 

Dier is better than any defender we currently have at the club. 

So? He's still fucking shit. What's the fucking point?

I can't believe the club don't see it for the best that we sell him now, I reckon it's Nuno telling Sullivan he has to keep him. I hope we don't end up flogging him on deadline day.

Reports saying Flamengo will pay 40m euros and we want 60.

The 40m euros could get us 3/4 players. No world beaters of course but more experience for sure.

We just spent £20 million plus on a player that was bought £250k not that long ago.. A very odd transfer but he's with Mendes and apparently Nuno's mates son... Club is a joke and anyone expecting us to make savvy moves in the market hasn't been paying attention. 

People now seem to be doing to Sullivan exactly what he's spend over a decade doing to the club.

Let's hope his wardrobe is rammed full of easily pull-downable pants...alongside all those skeletons. He's clearly going to need them

[fraser]

Paqueta downing tools and only wanting Flamengo apparently.

Replace him with Hayden Hackney from borough. Talented young british player. Good chance would come here despite our situation and stay should we go down!

[theaxeman]

See Chelsea, Tottenham and Villa have all enquired about Paqueta apparently. Makes you wonder how Bristol City nipped in front of them for Earthy. 

[Keep dreaming]

Reeks of boardroom desperation I reckons

Anyway, Disasi, Jørgensen or whoever is a safer net than relying on the garbage we already got
