Not yet but going to Krakow in early September. Lost money during pandemic as company went bust. After 6 months you cannot claim back on a credit card. So I would like to try again getting to Split for a break.

FACT in capital letters on NSC actually means probably / maybe / imho etc.
Oh. Fair enough. I didn’t know that
No, but he has agreed personal terms 2,376 times since the end of the season and his arrival at City is imminently going to be imminently imminent

I'm glad I no longer have to invent - sorry, report - transfer stories as part of the way I earn a living. These days clubs are far more professional about keeping secrets than they used to be, while agents are even more desperate to plant stories suggesting that certain players are heading to various clubs, in order to get improved contracts for their players from their existing employers or to to create interest among potential buyers.
Why anyone thinks that clubs would reveal their transfer intentions to interns and work experience kids sitting on online desks is beyond me. As far as I can tell, there isn't a shred of hard evidence (or any other kind, for that matter) that City are interested in Cucurella at all. It's fairly logical that they would be, but that's about all anyone can say.
As for our local guys, Brian Owen seems to have decent contacts in South America, and both of them have an invaluable skill that many journalists seem to lack these days - the ability to use a telephone to check stories out.
Is there really any need to spoil a dormitory of tepid enuresis with your so-called facts?
Yeah capitals FACT means you can guarantee one thing about the fact in question that is the fact isn't in fact a fact.
I hope that clears it up for you.
Thanks. I’m old school. I thought the poster was SHOUTING
They were, shouting the fact was anything but a fact.

Compare our club PR and local reporters to Leeds. They seem to have leaks everywhere with a demanding fan base desperate for news on transfers.
I’d much prefer our below the radar approach.

They can prepare as much as they like they are not getting him for that price.

Some people are preparing for Aliens to arrive. More chance of them being right than Shitty getting Cucu for £25m. Delusional doesn't even come close to describing their mental state.

Exactly - what's to prepare? Loads of money plus either Delap or McAtee or both. End of. And forget any nonsense about a buyback - we lost any interest in Livramento when Chelsea insisted on a buyback clause.
....... and there was me believing for years it was an acronym of Fanciful And Clueless Talk .......................
Trying to prepare a bid that we will accept that involves us being fobbed off with one or two over-valued makeweights on a loan or a buy back basis?

Never late in a V8
Do we need need any of those players onloan or even to buy?)

Do cash-plus-player deals ever actually happen in the modern game? I can’t think of any examples, albeit that I don’t pay a huge amount of attention to the details of non-BHA deals.
No. Make-weights in the deal are almost invariably over-valued - basically a face saving tactic for both sides of the negotiation

We don't do inward loans at all, so that wouldn't happen. McAtee and Delap are major talents that I don't imagine City would want to include in any offer, but we should ask anyway, just to show that we'll only let Cucurella go if the deal is ridiculously good. Then it's down to how much they want him - if in fact they do.

Liam Brodie on talk sport saying" I'd love it if we can get Cuca but it'll be a bit underwhelming compared to previous left backs".........let's hope you don't get him then!!
