[¡Cereal Killer!]

The kind of signing I would make in Football Manager... Normally by the time they arrive at the club they are turd!

Silly money..

Wasn't there a kid a few years ago of 7/8 signed on a similar deal?

Oh dear

There is a kid in Brixton who all the top clubs are trying to sign I think he’s still under 10.
He plays for a local side, I know the manager of the side has been offered a full time well paid scouting job at Arsenal plus a large cash bonus if he can persuade the parent to let the kid sign for them. Chelsea of course went straight in with a brand new house for the mother and a load of money in her bank account.
She’s a single mother living in a council flat and so far hasn’t accepted any offers as far as I know.

My lad works for Rio Ferdinand who in turn works across London with youth football clubs. I get a few bits now and again.

Initially I thought that this was a bit much this bribery. Then thinking about it, why shouldn't the mum and manager get some of the squadrillions thrown about in the PL. Especially if the mum is a single parent in a council house. Go for it, you never know if he'll fulfill his potential, have a career ending injury etc...

Too short.

Great game. I’m gutted Mbappe’s goal was offside - wonderful, wonderful skill. Reminded me of R9 not for the first time.

Vini’s got to leave Spain though. The constant abuse he’s expected to put up with means this sort of thing will happen. He’s always being goaded.

Oh dear

This was a prime Albion performance. Dominate a game, the opposition gk has a worldie, miss tons of chances, get some luck, then manage to chuck the game away through awful game management.

Would provide excellent cover for Mitoma.

 

[The Optimist]

In hindsight, £39m well spent.

Does he even come close to passing the no dickheads rule?

Very true!

Why would you say that?!

Even if we did have this mythical no dickheads policy (we don’t, it doesn’t exist and we’ve had our fair share of dick heads anyway) - the only dickheads are the Spanish fans, media and football industry generally who constantly abuse him either blatently racial or with racist undertones. Full credit to him for not reacting more often.

Brilliant player and role model. La Liga doesn’t deserve him.
