Tips / Bets Summer transfer market 2017

Wow!

One tiny prod from me at the dying embers, and the flames rage once more!

 

Call the fire brigade Quentin; watching the engines go past should give you some welcome respite from the BBC Gossip Column at least ... and sorry to hear about your tiny prod ... do you still have the word "Essays" tatooed on it in tiny script? ...

 

Wow!

There's still plenty of heat to be stirred up!

I could still roast chestnuts on that!

 

You strike me as more of the chinnuts type, Quents

 

Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe, 34, could be left in limbo with clubs such as West Ham and Bournemouth put off by his financial demands. (Daily Star)

Assuming this is true (and that is a large assumption, bearing in mind the source), what is it with these aging players?

Surely, they have enough wits about them to be able to work out that if they are more interested in raping as much hard cash as they can in their twilight years that their best option, by far, is to **** off abroad, to places like China and the USA?

Surely, they must realise that the pay structures at places like Bournemouth and the Spanners is not going to be any where near a match for the Chinese and the Yanks?

It's perfectly simple.

Either you want the cash, in which case be prepared to pack your bags and **** off to Beijing; or you want to extend your shelf-life in the Prem at a smaller club, in which case be prepared to take a significant cut in pay1

Surely football players are not that stupid that they cannot work it out for themselves?

 

i'd like to see him warming our bench

 

That isn't a bad call, mate.

I'm sure he'd teach young Janssen a thing or to, as well.

 

Burnley striker Andre Gray, 26, wants a new contract at the club worth about £100,000 a week but the club say they cannot meet his demands. (Daily Star)



Unbelievable!

 

Barcelona are furious with former club captain Carles Puyol after a 16-year-old defender he represents, Eric Garcia, decided to walk away from the club to join Manchester City. (Independent)

Ah, well. **** happens.

 

Chelsea have switched their focus to Southampton and Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk, 25, after Juventus closed the door on a move for 30-year-old Italy centre-back Leonardo Bonucci. (Standard)

It will be comforting to Virgil to know that he was a very poor second, in Chavs' plans, to Bonucci.

I bet Scott and Brains will be furious!*


*I know you lads love my Thunderbirds crack.

 

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane regards forward Gareth Bale as untouchable and will not let the 27-year-old Wales international leave the club. (Marca)

Mourhino will be livid!

 

Absolutely!

 

Tbf I think anyone would be second to Bonucci.

 

You've clearly not oney read too much BBC gossip column but worse still is you've actually believed it.

 

Euphemism?

 

Warming his seat?

 

Yep

This is quite telling ... (and taken from HIAG's favourite (only) source - that's and not the Manchester Evening News) ...

Liverpool target Naby Keita says he is aiming to play "for one of the very big clubs" like Barcelona, Real Madrid or Leicester City. The 22-year-old Red Bull Leipzig midfielder is wanted by the Anfield club. (Manchester Evening News)

 

That's hilarious!

Thanks for making my day, Bambi!
