[Albion] Carlos Baleba SINGS a 5-year deal

[rebel51]

Not your fkin money though so he can do what he likes with it.

I’m assuming of course that your posts are purely to wind up the rest of us, in which case

I'm just saying what a lot of people deep down are thinking, but scared to come out with it.

I think we've spent around 90 million on new players since Macallister Sanchez and Caciedo left so it's not like the club are just stashing the cash is it

It sounds as if this has made RDZ happy and a happy RDZ is what we want!

 

[b.w.2.]

Really pleased we have closed our biggest squad gap. Welcome Carlos. LB/LWB and RW still required

Where is this pic taken? Is it the stand at the training ground where the U-21s play their matches?

I have some jeans exactly like these that I wear for gardening/diy. Does this mean I've finally become trendy?

Where the fkin rest of the sales money. Keeping it in his piggy bank for a rainy day

What a stupid post. You've clearly not taken any time to observe how a football business is run.

No.

You’re just saying what you’re thinking, and assuming ‘lots of people’ not only think the same way you do, but are too weak-willed to say.

Which is ridiculous. Like you.

Maybe some people then

So by the time Baleba born, James Milner had already played 29 Premier League games, scoring 3 goals. Plus 6 Second Division games (including one against Brighton) scoring 2 goals, 4 FA Cup and 1 League Cup appearances.

In fact on the day Carlos Baleba was born James Milner was playing for Leeds in a 4-1 FA Cup loss to Arsenal (not a happy 18th birthday).

To complete the story, 20 years ago young James holidayed in Cameroon and Carlos calls him “Dad”.

To complete the story, 20 years ago young James holidayed in Cameroon and Carlos will call him “Dad”.

‘Papa’, surely?

No.

Deep down, people are thinking this:

‘Will the Caicedo money help reduce the club’s £400m+ debt to Tony Bloom - I hope so.’

Rebel51 is one of those that so craves the serotonin release given by a notification, he's willing to say anything to garner replies even if it makes him look like an idiot.

Either that or he is just an idiot.

No.

Yes TB has invested £400M but I believe his long term plan is not to get his money back whilst still owning the club, more to make the club sustainable, with no additional money needed year on year.

 

[Badger Boy]

To be fair to Rebel, there was a guy in the Victoria (maybe it's him?) who was saying something very similar about Tony Bloom's lack of desire to invest in the team and the club. I didn't handle the conversation very well because I was certain he was on a wind up and deliberately spouting the most tedious and ridiculous opinions ever heard but he was totally serious - he genuinely was of the opinion that Bloom has made "hundreds of millions" from the club now and was reluctant to invest, despite the success on the pitch, because he doesn't want to lose the money. Naturally, I asked what he thought the motive would be and he thinks that Bloom isn't actually worth a lot of money and needs the club to fund his lifestyle.

I asked what that lifestyle was, there was no answer.

I asked where the money for the stadium, training ground and player trading over the last 15 years have come from and there was no answer.

The club seems to have a lot of faith in Baleba given how inexperienced he is. I'm not gonna doubt their judgement, but I'd be fascinated to see the Starlizard data that (presumably) has made Bloom et. al. so confident that he's gonna be immense.

i suspect its the same data that got Moises and Biss to us, trust the process is my advice.
