General Football Nonsense

This is a good article, about the impending Haaland saga and football transfer fees in general.

Would love football to get a reality check. There’s muppets on Utd forums who think Haaland, Sancho, Rice and a new CB is realistic this summer.

Mad_Cyril yup Barca and Real both in around 1bn EUR of debt… hard to imagine they’ll sign him… same for Juve… City pitching themselves as unable to afford him which prob means they will buy him at 100m. Can imagine big transfers only happening at the end of contracts now… also, wages should be linked to appearances and success - can well imagine a much bigger role for aggressive incentive structures going forward

Haaland is a beast. I played CB at a pretty decent level growing up and feared nobody. If I found out i’d be marking him before a game i’d fake my own death. uNiT

Mad_Cyril

Agree. He’s HUNGRY too. A scary combo.

Not sure about him mentally though, seems a little on the precipice !

Mad_Cyril Mentally, blatantly one of those crackpot Scandi blokes you meet around the world who are early 20s but about 14 years old in terms of maturity: “Letsh all do Jagermeishters! The girlsh in Beijing [or wherever] are crazshy man! I fucking love it here man!”

Mad_Cyril

Not far off Dave, reckon there’s something sinister lurking.

Mad_Cyril

Ole needs to get Matic on ASAP. Get us out of neutral and in reverse, really fuck with their heads

alistair

Pogba back to his usual self. Liability

Likely at the VERY TOP of his ‘to do’ list

nicksneddon He’s no Fred

Well that has been mental. Spurs let me down badly today. Very badly but somehow I’ve still walked away £1.5k up

Old-Dutch We really need a WhatsApp group! Well done that man 👍️

I honestly hope nobody stumps up for Haaland and Raiola’s stunt blows up in his face.

Not because its Raiola, more because of the bloated excess it seems to symbolise

Jules72 Assuming our current MO of getting in early and doing signings very quietly is still a thing, he should be lining up alongside Jotta come the end of August.

Had to confess to wifey who was asking what the fuck I was streaming about when she was putting the kids to bed as United scored their second.

Bitter sweet feeling cheering United on but desperate times call for desperate measures

LOL. Sold your soul, but worth every penny 😁

Old-Dutch

@Mad_Cyril I hate myself sometimes lol

bosstrabs

This is one of the reasons I don’t really gamble (except sentimental stuff the National - twice a winner - and one or two other flutters), or play fantasy league, seems utterly bizarre cheering on United, or being happy with Liverpool failing to score because ‘Lamptey is in my fantasy team’ etc.

Mad_Cyril

bosstrabs the National - twice a winner

Didn’t realise you were a jockey dave?
