  1. The term you are grasping after is stable, dear boy.

    Big money for a player from France with so little first team experience, but we’ll see how he gets on eh.

    St Etienne have described this boy as "... one of the greatest talents of his generation" ... obviously we will see, but he's only 19 and a real beast physically, so plenty of potential..

    PS you left Paul Pogba off your list? <whistle>

    Yeah, it’s not like clubs/fans to rate players as the next big thing.
    Rodwell, Barkley, Ibe, Solanke and lets not forget Greenwood.

    Wait what, St Etienne said that about one of their own players who they were putting up for sale? No... no way, don’t believe you.

    Indeed ... didn't Man United sign some 19 year old fat kid from you once that didn't turn out too bad? ... them's the risks of course ... but can't really fault our scouting over the last few years ...

    You mean a teenage sensation who’d already taken the domestic & International stage by storm? Him?

    Not sure that’s a remotely equivalent example, but still.

    I’m quite happy with the 19 year old French defender we signed on a free as he’d run his contract out with Marseille - Nkounkou - ended up costing us £250k in compo. Has looked mustard in the 3 cup games he’s played so far.

    Pleased for you mate ... and I'm more than happy with this lad ... biggest transfer deal in St Etienne's history ... likely them just trying to placate their supporters

    I'm also rather pleased about how the unknown Timothy Castagne is working out too <cheers>

    Going well mate ... sister club Leuven in Belgium got 3 of our kids on loan and currently sitting 7th in Belgian league ... just beat Gent who are in the Europa atest ... after a brace from young midfielder Kamal Sowah... Daniel Iversen between the sticks has already got a full cap for Denmark and will likely replace Kasper for both club and country in due course ... future is looking bright and no mistake... thanks for your interest <cheers>

    So I point out a fact, and you reply with abuse?

    Seriously, what’s the ****ing need?

    You just can’t do any form of banter can you? You act like some 14 year old fanboy, ****ing embarrassing tbh. You’ll no doubt cry and play the victim now, like you always do.

    Apparently Saints are signing Ibrahima Diallo from Brest. Better than Kante if you read our board.

    21 so unbelievably young and delighted we are signing youth from all over the world, groundbreaking stuff

    You do realise his generation is a bunch of teenagers? And he's only "one of" them.

    All of a sudden that statement looks like one of HIAG's small print disclaimers on a not606 bet <laugh>
