It’s crazy, isn’t it, when you buy shit players and stick them on huge contracts, how other clubs aren’t biting their hands off to sign them

Marcos Rojo 
. One decent game in World Cup and he has been earning a meal for six years.

I guess the surprise comes from them having fewer problems in the past at moving on these sorts of players.
They’ve traditionally always had 5-6 alumni managing in the league who still thought the s*n shone out of Ferguson’s arse, so getting good money for their shite was never an issue.

Sunderland must be really skint or tired of buying their wank players.

Jones’ got 3+1 years left on his deal, who bloody gave him a new contract in 2019.

He’s a weird one because he was originally praised for his genuine insight and would take the time to break down incidents in detail but now it seems Sky just want him and Carragher to be the US-style talking heads who argue and disagree over every little thing no matter who trivial or pedantic.
Case in point: Tony Evans. Used to be a decent journalist but fell off the wagon when Dalglish was sacked and still hasn’t gotten over it. Now has very little positive to say about the club.

Yeah, maybe. The other advantage would be is that he’s versatile. So maybe they saw him as a temporary utility defender for a few more years.

My favourite United move of late has to be sending their best defender on loan to Rome for a year then signing the worlds most average CB for a work record fee.

Can’t agree on this, mate, at least judging by his columns over the past two years. He’s probably due an apology to FSG, which he’ll never write, but he’s shown gratitude and given them praise in his own style, and it has surprised me a bit. I think it’s South China Morning Post where he publishes such columns.
Imagine Smalling being your best defender,and he’s shite.

Imagine being his missus, and having to deal with that face sweating on you.
