The relevant thing is what the potential fee would be - Chak showed that we at least exercise the right to buy occasionally, but the fee was only €1.5mil or so and he was doing alright. Lewis and Choudhury had fees attached to them which would have needed them to be incredible and/or us getting promoted for us to have cause to take up.
No, green beans of all things. However, when guiding a cycle tour in Languedoc, we stopped for lunch, and as usual, I had to translate the menu. One of the punters said he wanted the andouillette. I advised against it. He insisted. He took one bite and pushed it away. I offered to swap my steak haché being keen on customer service, and I took the andouillette. I managed about half. I would describe it as rubber bands marinated in pig slurry forced into a condom. Every time I burped (which was a lot) over the next couple of days it was followed by an involuntary wretch.
Bought one of those for my daughter at a motorway service station years ago thinking it was a regular sausage. She quite rightly refused even a mouthful as it stank like one of the overflowing 5hitters in the toilets. I know the French eat some weird things but Jesus wept those things are off the scale!
So you're telling me I was right all those years I was singing "Twah Deeney, Watford's number 9" and getting funny looks from everyone around me?
It’s a retailing method that has worked wonders for the sale of new cars. One way to save clubs outside of the Premier League and without parachute money would be to allow more loans per squad.
Cleverley mentioned in his press conference that he knows one of the coaches at the City Group's training centre where Larouci has been having his pre-season (Troyes are part of the City Group) - so he could have been one of the players who Cleverley has brought in based on a personal recommendation/his contacts.
Hopefully the option to buy isn't that much, because the early signs are this may be one which is worth exercising.
He changed the flow of the game when he came on. If he plays to that standard or near about in all his games I cannot see any reason for us to not look into buying him (if finances allow).
Last time I took advice like this from the forum ITK members it included the moniker ‘put your house on it’. I’m now homeless ….
I know Troyes are a CFG team, but as a 3rd tier club in France, surely they’re not in a position to be charging too much?
Was very positive going forward today. The test will come when he has to defend against better teams but he did ok in that department today.
