    Yeah for sure. I'd take Tuanzebe back on loan no matter the criteria. He'll likely leave United at some point.

    He was maybe the best player on the pitch when we played them. He's so rapid and tenacious. I think we may have to pay more and I think he may be worth it!

    I can see the logic of moving on from it. The lion is pretty lost in that old badge. I'm ok with the current badge. It's the best badge we've had in ages—er probably since the round one ironically! The redesign they did a few years ago made a huge difference.

    Steve Bruce did it at Birmingham I think!

    For me it was all down to Richards. My memory is of him being out of position for a huge number of goals. Never a CB. What a disaster. Worst signing ever along with the other dozen... Replacing Benteke with Gestede didn't help either. What a terrible idea.

    I imagine there's usually a clutch of similar size clubs (though we need to stay up and consolidate for a few years before we truly deserve being mentioned in links alongside the mighty West Ham) who get linked to the same players. It could be agents too. I just can't imagine the conversation where people mix up Aston Villa and West Ham in relation to transfers because of the colours. 'Hey Sergio, have you heard about that Fornals guy—he's going to the red and blue team.' 'Oh, Aston Villa.' 'I don't know. A red and blue team.' Bit silly but it's never going to happen like that. You'd say the team name a million times before you said the colours.

    This happened to me a few times in Devon!

    You're right West Ham translates to Aston Villa in Spanish. Dumb foreigners. Option 3 newspapers make shit up.

    Eh. Genuinely absurd to presume we're only focusing on a goalkeeper. If you mean 'absurd to focus so much money on a goalkeeper' I guess they'll have worked out their budget and know what they can afford—that would be a pretty obvious, logical thing for them to do. Also absurd is believing every single transfer rumour is 100% true. Maybe all this is your point though, 'absurd to believe we're focusing that much money on a goalkeeper'?

    I don't see it at all. I like him but I'm not anywhere near thinking he's good enough to play for England.
  11. praisedmambo
    He's meant to be eligible for Scotland. Super John says he's trying to get him to convert. I would if I was him.

    My impression of this thread is that it's us all talking about the links in the media and on Twitter.
  13. praisedmambo
    Hold up...in a sentence where you mention fake news you seem to be blindly trusting someone on twitter. Surely you see the problem there?

    Maybe we didn't even try tbh. Gil was playing for Eibar in the second division when we bought him (yes, on loan from Valencia, but I doubt they were sad to see him go) — I know nothing about Crespo though. There are good players in La Liga.
  15. praisedmambo
    Do not agree with the second part at all.
  16. praisedmambo
    Am i right when I read online they did a year-long cheeky £3million loan first. Not a bad idea.
  17. praisedmambo
    This happens of course but his English definitely isn't good enough! Having said that in Madrid they have bilingual schools though and a lot of the Spanish teachers teaching science history and so on in English (to improve general levels of English nationwide they don't teach these in Spanish) can have about a good a level as he has. For now anyway. I think the idea is that the teachers have passed the advanced exam but it is definitely not the case in practice. Also, yep poor Nigel's kid.
  18. praisedmambo
    It was your weird comment that made me say it! I live in Madrid and don't expect many of the Spanish people I know expect me to teach kids Spanish. That wouldn't make any sense. Y esta.
  19. praisedmambo
    Why would a Spanish guy teach your kid English?
  20. praisedmambo
    Is another 'Why haven't we signed someone yet' post in disguise then? I am probably being a bit of a dick at heart by responding the way I am, and I apologise in advance, but I just don't get it how every single window people say the same things about transfers. For every Kalinic deal there are 20/30 or more that, even though they are simple, seem to take a while to get announced. And every single time people start doubting it or interpreting different problems with the deals. Dean Smith said himself he was going away on holiday—maybe he is on holiday, maybe Jota is on holiday, maybe Gardner is on holiday. Maybe the clubs need to negotiate. I bet £10 it happens.
  21. praisedmambo
    Bit cynical. It's not as if these things don't always take time.
  22. praisedmambo
    Is that just because he's Spanish? Having watched them both they don't seem that alike at all.
  23. praisedmambo
    I think our mid-table manager would.
  24. praisedmambo
    You're interpreting all that yourself. He has changed his tactics plenty of times throughout the season. I imagine 'trying to win' from a manager's point of view entails a lot of tweaking tactics. You are hilarious. Smith Out.
  25. praisedmambo
    You are and have been on the lamest windup for months. Go have a rest.
