Off Topic Bill Nicholson Arms

This is not meant as a wind up . My wife recently inherited a fine bone tea set . One piece was wrapped in this from the Daily Telegraph . Saturday sep 14th 1991 .

£1.6m! <laugh> Sounds so quaint now, doesn't it?
That's over a million less than we spent on Carlos Vinicius' loan fee last season.

Ben Brereton-Diaz has had a street named after him in Santiago.
Is all this a wind up?
One minute, he’s plain old English Ben Brereton at Forest. He signs for Blackburn -and suddenly he’s a cult hero, scoring goals for Chile.
What happened?

Someone playing Football Manager noticed that he was eligible for Chile.
Now he's playing in World Cup qualifiers and scoring, having changed his name.
He's also banging them in for Blackburn. 10 in 11, so far.
 
I'd forgotten that Ryan Sessegnon is a member of the squad. We really did piss some money away in the summer of 2019.

He's had a torrid time with injuries to be fair. Had a bad one when he joined, then a good loan last season where he played pretty much every week, then got injured again after playing a couple games for us this season.

Like Gio though, you have to wonder when it’s time to cut losses.
