They also mention that Shane Long is home grown... Perhaps Wikipedia is incorrect but he was over 18 when he joined Reading from Cork City as part of the Kevin Doyle deal. This would mean he couldn't possibly have trained for 3 years under the age of 21..
They've lost the plot (if, indeed, they ever had it) Agreed about Long though, always thought he was an excellent striker at this level
Christ, we're not signing anyone are we..they can't even put an article about a rumour out but a 'wishlist' article instead, a fairly unexciting one at that.
Isn't Loftus Cheek a Chelsea 1st team squad regular and I think Gomez will be at Liverpool fully fit...
No, as rubbish as most of the article is, they're right, he's barely featured under Conte, despite his willingness to use their youth and play players like Chalobah and apparently now Ake. He's been looking for a loan since before the window opened, but all the talk up to this point has been upper Championship teams. Whilst I would have no problem with him coming here for talent, there are rumours of questions over his application, and I'm not sure we'd give him enough game time to see Chelsea happy with us either. That is, unless our injury crisis continues unabated, in which case he'll play every minute until he does both his ACLs.
I just can't handle the idea of a player called Loftus-Cheek. Sounds like a comedy show idea of an overexuberant QPR fan with a large birth mark on his face.
Well goingdown is wrong everyone not that anyone actually cares. Strange of them to keep calling me a woman like that's a derogatory term?
I actually really enjoyed the change of direction from the excellent WDSports, they've already shown they're the masters of In-the-know transfer dealings from the corridors of power, so why not show they can write a parody of one of those awful fan blogs too? I thought it was very clever the way the author pretended like they were a transfer committee chewing the fat, rather than just one bloke sat in his bedroom writing a clickbait article.
There is no f ucking way Jese is going to move to Boro! Anyway, I've heard he's Ronaldinho mk. 2 and been having a great time being a big tubby partyboy in the big city, hence in part why he can't get in the PSG team even though he left Madrid so he could go to a team where he would start. If that's true, he wouldn't be any use to them regardless. He won't move to us either, tbf.
Am enjoying Gavins insights into the corridors of power at WD Sports , especially the ones about the corridors of power at London Colney .
In the last week we'll get a Cleverly from Everton for about £8m... It ll be promoted as the home grown youth, parodical son returning and it'll mask us also buying a random 36 year old centre back from Genk.. We'll get the yearly attacking midfielder on loan from Roma that will never play but we have to take because of some weirdass agreement that was obviously struck... and the obligatory pensioner that wasn't bad 8 years ago in another team managed by manager ! Business done, 4 squad players, only 1 will play.. finish 17th, but a success cause we'll get the the FA cup semi and it's another trip to Wembley.. Happy days !!
You know full well nothing happens on a Thursday aside from tumbleweed and the sound of church bells. The Daily Fail says that us and Palace are interested in Jake Livermore.
I see that Arsenal are willing to let Per Mertesacker leave on loan for the remainder of the season. I've haven't been his biggest fan since he joined arsenal as he's not mobile enough to compete at the top end of the table. However, I do think that we are the club that are looking to bring him in. *based purely on speculation - friends with prodl, unwanted by our neighbours, outfitted by adidas, wages are reasonable.
Mertesacker is the worst CB I've ever seen play for a top club . He turns his back on shots so he does t get hurt by the ball . Even U10 level we were subbed off if we did that . He is a disgrace to CBS the world over and a shameful chapter in Arsenals great history of CBS . He is fit to work a Saturday job in Top Man and nothing more .
Slightly harsh maybe but I wouldn't want him either. Also CB's are probably low on our list of priorities for this window
