OM fans have redesigned our badge. Shame they didn't do this a couple of years ago for the competition. It would have been a clear winner. Also they played us in a computer game Sadly for them, FIFA awarded Watford a 3-0 win as they fielded an ineligible player.
Wow. Pretty hard on Marseille. So we were 100% in the right all along ? Presume the radio silence up to now was partly to avoid compromising our position ? Gino & Scott DO do business properly
I suppose this arrangement makes Gueye the best value transfer we ever made, from a pure profit perspective. All the upside of the transfer fee, zero wages paid. Wonder if Gueye will try to sue his agent?
Wonder how much we're talking here? Enough to pay for Danny Rose's severance or enough to pay his lunch bill?
To be perfectly honest, I think it would be incredibly easy to give some kind of comment on an ongoing issue like this over the course of two years without doing something that would 'compromise our position', especially since our position was 'this happened to us and we didn't want it to'. That is part of what a club's legal department is for, presumably. It's no less of a purposeful choice, and that's a very common 'get out' excuse for it in these kinds of situations, but it doesn't actually mean much, in practice.
Well. I wasn't expecting that. Although I am generally a positive sort of chap I had naturally assumed we'd done something wrong here, got him to sign under duress, dodgy agent or the like but apparently not. Who'd have thought that? So rather than banning him for four months maybe we should get him to play for the club he did legally sign for, play the balance of the season for us, keep us up there's a few quid in it for him and we'll give him a reference next time he needs, stays fit for next season (barring a career ending injury) for OM, everyone's a winner. This does assume he's any good though, if he's not then **** him.
Imagine the level of performance if we forced him to play the season out for us. It would make Tufan look committed in comparison.
