Keener window-cleaner Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'd like us to buy half the Zimbabwe team. Not only do they have Marvelous Nakamba and Talent Chawapiwa, they also have Knowledge Musona and Marshall Muntesi, as and an up and comer they have Teenage Hadebe. I'm thinking we could do with Knowledge in the back line, Marvelous and Marshall in the middle and then Talent and Teenage up front. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they played football in other countries, then we wouldn't have to go about chucking twice as much money as we should at other English clubs for their players. Have we? Says who. The papers that make up bollock rumours constantly and had no clue about Moraes Also how much did Liverpool pay for Henderson 8 years ago? Also how much do the likes of Chelsea pay for big name European players that don't always cut it in PL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After lecturing the entire family the previous day about their over consumption of sugar. I went shopping. That evening my son pops his head out of the pantry (which I had packed with cookies, crisps, chocolate, imported candy etc with new ice cream in the freezer) he inquired "what happened to 'things are going to have to change around here family!' then dad?" To which I honestly answered "Well sure , I was going to get healthy choices like fruit, but , err, I just did what felt good at the time instead. So yeah. Theres that." Which may or may not end up being an allegory for our transfer window I suppose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 What about Yohan Cabaye on a one year (possibly pay-to-play) contract to offer experience and help some of the young and/or inexperienced players bed into the Premier League? What's going on with him? Things didn't seem to work out in Dubai, but, In my opinion, he's too good to be without a club. Is there an injury and/or attitude problem I'm not aware of? Because he always seemed like a hard working talent whenever I've seen him play. He's 33 now, so doesn't fit the transfer model we're following, and his wage demands may be too high but I think he'd be a valuable member of the squad. I know there's a risk, but I don't think he'd fall into the category some of the players we've just released would fall in to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Guys, you have to learn something. Having conversations with children is not good! In fact, it can be more embarrassing than talking to the missus. The only way an adult man can have an enjoyable conversation is for him to talk to another adult man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm posting so early in the morning because I'm having sleepless nights during my recovery from triple hernia surgery. I only had an umbilical hernia to begin with. My missus, in her witty little way, asked me how I could possibly get a hernia when I don't do anything. Foolishly, in my own witty little way, I replied "what are you talking about - I've carried you for the last 27 years". Strangely, after that, I then developed left and right inguinal hernias too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few (or 50) pages back I listed a bunch of transfers that I’m pretty sure he ‘broke’. Tammy being one, Terry coming in as Smith’s assistant being another. He gets snippets, for sure.

He seemed to work in the Villa medical team as he had fairly solid info when medicals were booked and so on. He went quiet, presumably sacked or warned about leaking info, and then this year seemed to resurrect his account but hasn’t posted anything since then. Did you hear any whispers about it? Just curiosity on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
