The same people who first broke news of us being close to a deal that turned out to be this one are also reporting there is additional activity ongoing. We are privy to a tiny amount of the details of our planning. Stop judging it as if everything you read is true and nothing is happening that you havent read about.

If he doesnāt fancy it now itāll be because heās had a change of heart, not that we didnāt have indication from him that he was open to coming here initially.
If heās changed his mind, so be it. Canāt blame anyone there. But Iām still thinking itās just a case of Sociedad painting a narrative because they want us to pay the buyout fee and theyāre losing Merino too.

Rich people in a first world country have easy access to every type of cuisine. They can also make their own food, or even have a chef make it for them.
Yes, it might be slightly different to home and what you grew up with. So you will have to make do with trebling your salary, competing for the highest prizes in the sport at a global giant, and having the ability to make regular short trips back home to fill your belly with some of what you miss. And who knows, you might find that you like some other foods that you havenāt been as exposed to.
I think a PR battle is playing out.
His club will want to show that they have done everything possible to keep their star man. It might also be a negotiating tactic over the terms of payment.
As ever, letās see.

Im just discussing the fact he seems like a homeboy so it is a bit odd weve gone for him.

As long as nobody writes that we have ended our interest, or the player definitely says that he is staying in Spain, it is probably still on.

You mean like we ended our interest in Virgil, or Balotelli was definitely staying with us?

They are not in CL.
I was about to post a similar thing. We saw a similar thing with Gordon earlier in the summer. Clubs are very aware of the need to manage their volatile fanbases and make it clear that players leave despite trying everything to keep them.
Although Iād love to see that PowerPoint. I bet itās epic.
āSit down there lad. So as you can see from this slide, and might not have thought about this, there is a lot of rain in Liverpool. Any questions?ā
If I was the lad Iād be fucking insulted that they seem to think I donāt know how to look what the weather is like somewhere else.
Iāll file this as ānever happenedā and itās all fan management.

Fuck. I had memory-holed the fact that Balotelli ever played for us.

San SebastiƔn gets the most rainfall of almost anywhere in Spain. The rainiest months are from October to January, especially November and December. The city receives an average of 59 inches of rainfall per year.
Rainfall in Liverpool amounts to 835 millimeters (32.9 inches) per year: so, it is at an intermediate level. It ranges from 55 mm (2.2 in) in the driest months (February, April, May) to 95 mm (3.7 in) in the wettest one (October).
