Covered Rodri very well for a 7/8 game stint around Christmas last year. Bit of a shout for us all things considering this summer.

Enjoyed the Everton game!

Oh yeah hopefully he comes good for you. City selling business this summer has been insane.

Savio (savinho) has changed his name to go with joining the Spuds.

Chelsea signed Liam Delap after a fairly decent season for Ā£30 mill. In 28 games he’s scored a staggering 1 goal. And yet Forrest agree his value has increased to Ā£45 million. Plain as day corruption from the same 4-5 clubs in the transfer business.

Seen their dodgy dealings to get around Marmoush’s sell on clause?

If others haven’t seen, Frankfurt get a cut of any profits so City have sold Savinho (who they signed for peanuts from Girona ie themselves) for an inflated fee and Marmoush for the same fee they have bought him for in a double deal to spurs. Sly as fuck.

I legit thing this has been the weirdest transfer window I’ve known in my lifetime.

The player trading thing to balance the books has gone wild, especially when you look at Villa and Chelsea. Chelsea are playing 4D chess with it, where they are selling players for so much more than expected but I refuse to believe there aren’t ā€œgentleman’s agreementsā€ on other business elsewhere.

Emi Martinez for Ā£7.5 mill. Do me a favour. He’s probably more than that in FPL.

Nicolas Jackson moving the other way for £65 million? Chelsea are clearly up to something dodgy to try and avoid falling foul of spending rules.

You might get Richarlison back? Hahaha

Genuinely quite hyped about that tbh. We loved Richarlison when we had him but obviously Ndiaye is such a better player. We shouldn’t be selling anyone. Well……maybe Beto.

Glad you aren’t selling Armstrong to Forrest anymore

We’ll see about that. Can imagine that happening tbh

Go on Ipswich

So I’ll caveat what I’m about to say with the fact that I fully understand that going to games when your teams getting results is naturally gonna be more fun, but something dawned on me yesterday when I was at Molineux.

I’ve already enjoyed this season so much more purely because when we score I can actually fully let all the emotion out and properly celebrate. Every single goal yesterday felt like euphoria, a proper feeling I haven’t felt since VAR came into the EPL.

I’ve banged on about how much I dislike VAR since it came out but I think I only truly understand how much it’s affecting the game now we are in a league that doesn’t have it. Footballs meant to be an entertainment industry and the entertainments being sucked out of it for clinical reason (at best, the cynic in me says it’s other things…).

Of course I’m hoping we manage to get back to ā€œthe promised landā€ but I already know I’m going to enjoy every second of every game far more than I would even if we were doing well in the top flight.

How the fuck have Barca got Gabriel Jesus for £8.6 million but Delap was £40mil plus.

His huge wages have been a problem and why we’re shit at selling.

deemed good enough for Barca says a lot tho when nobody else was willing to take a punt.
