People will believe what they want to believe. I'll just wait for all the bollocks to blow over and wait for the club to announce the SINGING.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

He certainly has contacts within some clubs and with some agents. He has zero inside info at BHA however.
Unless he has contact with agents of players playing for Brighton.. which certainly isn't impossible.

I read a piece from a pro saying that pro’s use him to generate a move away if they aren’t happy at a club. Also players get upset if he hasn’t tweeted a here we go when they sign for another club.

Do you know what the phrase "flat-track bully" means? I was talking about Alejandro.

Lol, actually I didn't., I thought it was just a bully.
noun:
a sportsperson who dominates inferior opposition, but who cannot beat top-level opponents
aka: dickhead.

It doesn't mean dickhead at all. Just someone that can't perform to the same level against the best teams in their division.

Someone who bullys and dominates others is a dickhead in my glossary
You've misunderstood the phrase, mate. It's got nothing to do with bullying. It just means great against the bad teams, average against the good teams.
It was a favourite phrase of Lawrenson when he was a sardonic pundit.
Personally, I think it's a nonsense phrase. Most players find it easier to play against the bad teams, obviously.

Still the fullest of the full on shitters.
(Edit- still the very best at manipulating social media and making money from it. Respect for that.)
It’s a cricket derived term, that works much better in that sport than in any other context.
A batsman, who on a good wicket, facing mediocre bowlers repeatedly racks up tons of runs - but who can’t do the same when conditions are less stacked in their favour.
Perennially levelled at Graeme Hick, who’d follow up a record breaking 405 at Taunton, with a pair of failures against the Windies quickies.
Looks like he might be right this time though..............................

£150K though? Peanuts by today's PL standards - surely we could gazump that if we wanted to?

Because he's not yet turned 17 and hasn't signed a pro contract then the player is pretty much free to exercise his right to speak with other clubs and if a move does happen then compensation is agreed between the two clubs.
It wouldn't matter if we could better the £150k being offered as Southampton have very little say in the transfer.
OK, fair enough. Offer him a bit more money then (if we actually want him).

But some are unable to step up against higher quality opposition e.g. Knockaert, Mark Ramprakash, Maupay, Ted McDougall, CMS, Graeme Hick.
