Farmers league = low level of footy at an agricultural level i.e not very good.

Speaking of Dembele, turns out he’s a racist fuck, so glad we were never in for him.

Posted this link over in the Twitter thread.

The Almeida bloke seems fairly confident. Price feels steep to me for an inconsistent player such as Sanches, but I suppose this is the world we are living in.

Lille striking while the tournament glow still has some shine.

I doubt we are replacing an ever fit Gini with a 2nd .Keita.

From today’s BBC gossip column:

Liverpool are at the front of the queue for PSG and France forward Kylian Mbappe. Speculation continues over the future of the 22-year-old, who has just one year left on his deal at the Parc des Princes. (ESPN)

Too fucking right we are.

I once was right in front of the queue for the latest launch of a highly coveted phone, I got the phone, went to the cashier to pay and had my credit card declined so they took the phone away from me anf sold it to the next person in the queue.

True story.

Beeb gossip linking Camavinga to Man Utd for £25M?

Griezmann apparently as well. I am absolutely stunned by their ignorance.

Never seen a version of Dembele that’s good enough to play for us anyway. His on the pitch production is mediocre and off the pitch he seems nothing but a young idiot.

I think you give him far to much grace by using the word ‘young’.
The only thing I admire Dembele for, is fluffing the one on one chance he had in the Champs league against us at the Nou Camp.

He was banging that same tweet in Jan, so personally would take anything he says with a massive pinch of salt

Enough talk of farmers league. This is a thread for transfer talk so let’s plough on with the gossip.
Let’s not get into silly arguments and harvest any bad feelings towards each other.

Underwhelmed by Sanches to be honest. Not heard of him pulling up trees since leaving the prem but then again I don’t watch any other leagues.

It would be breath of fresh air is Mbappe signed for us because he wants to and not money at an oil club or broke Spanish “giant”. Would restore my faith in humanity.

Yeah agree. He’s minted already so if he really wanted to join he needs to lower his wage demands. Real cant afford him at the moment and I see that Barca cannot register their 3 new players as they are already over the la liga threshold for wages…and that dont include “free agent” Messis new wage.

On that Mbappe rumour… ESPN is just quoting the Daily Mirror, so I wouldn’t go getting his name on the back of your shirt just yet.

Other than a short time back it his parent club who had already demonstrated they viewed him as a bust, Lille is his next club. Sanchez isn’t just some kid who didn’t live up to the hype. He was a kid who was producing monster performances in Europe and Portugal, who then had a high profile move and saw it go terribly wrong. Sure, it went so badly wrong that it looked like he may never get it back, but he’s done well enough at Lille break back into a strong portugal side and this summer looked like one of their better players. I would not feel confident it is enough to justify jumping in for him, but his history makes him at least a little bit different than some obscure player all of a sudden having 2-3 good games in a summer tournament.

As for Diouff, it’s a myth we bought him because he had good a tournament. We were trying to get him to sign before the tournament started so we could relax, and ended up finalizing the deal the night of their opening game win against France.

Salif Diou…im a bit fuzzier on that…he might have been the ‘fuck it why not?’ transfer spur of the moment thingo…

not that im suggestinmg anything…but i wonder if they had the same agent…hmmmmm…
