Moldova have refused to grant a visa for Dinamo Zagreb's Lirim Kastrati, because he's Kosovan. The Moldovan state doesn't recognise Kosovo and still sees it as part of Serbia. The Croatians have a Champions League qualifier tonight against Sherriff Tiraspol. This should be an easy and straightforward one for UEFA, in my opinion. Give Sherriff the option to play their tie in a neutral country and kick them out if they refuse to do so. You shouldn't get to choose which players you get to play against.
Wolves have been linked with Ruben Semedo of Olympiakos, who scored against us a while back. He's not related to Nelson Semedo, who's already on their books. They also have Ruben Neves. He's Portuguese, which will surprise absolutely nobody. Not a Mendes client, though. The agent is supposed to be involved in the deal, of course. Someone's been editing his Wikipedia page, as it had a section called Criminality this morning. It's now called Legal Issues, which probably downplays things a little, in my opinion. Kidnap, robbery, wounding and illegal firearm possession are legal issues though, I must admit. Won't be playing in Spain again in the immediate future. Til 2028, at least...
Which is why they separated. Dinamo got smashed by Sherriff, rather unexpectedly. 3-0 loss with Adama Traore scoring twice. Not that one. Or that other one. The one that used to play for Metz. No, the other one.
Ignorant stuff from Rowett. People may well decide that taking the knee is not how they want to oppose racism but those booing anti racist gestures need to be called out cos booing anti racism is not OK. I don't think wearing an anti racist badge will change the world but I would never ****ing boo anyone for wearing one ffs. There is a fantastic book by the cricketer Michael Holding called Why We Kneel And How We Rise. I think that anyone who thinks booing those taking the knee is justified should take the time to read it.
That book should be compulsory reading full stop. Incredibly clear description of the effects of racism.
Arsenal signing Ramsdale for about £25m... The **** is wrong with them? Am I missing something here? Already been having a little debate with Pinkie on their board about the quality of Gabriel (well, I say lack of) and having just spent £50m on the wrong Brighton CB they're signing a keeper who's been relegated twice in the last two seasons and not shown anything to suggest he's better than that level. Our recruitment in the last 5 years has been woeful but they're starting to make us look like transfer wizards.
