oh, yes, go attack a state mobbed-up Russian's house that will end well ask Boris Berezovsky what happens when you fuck about with the old SIBNEFT mafia

lolol SOUTHAMPTON IN TALKS TO LAND MADDOX ON LOAN https://readsouthampton.com/2020/01/31/southampton-in-talks-to-land-maddox-on-loan/ snip This seems like a strange deal, given that Maddox had his loan at League One side Tranmere cancelled earlier this month. He only managed one appearance for the club before having his loan cut short, suggesting that he was unable to make an impact in League One. If he is not able to play regularly at League One level, why would he be able to make the step up to the top half of the Premier League? Last season he played 38 games as an attacking midfielder for Cheltenham in League Two, registering just one goal. Taking all of this into consideration, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Jame Ward-Prowse both being in the top four for WhoScored ratings in the Southampton squad, this move does not add up. His stats in League One and League Two do not suggest that he is of the required level to improve Southampton’s team or even get regular minutes in the side.

IF Tammy goes down in the next 4 games and is out for multiple weeks or longer we are going to struggle to qualify for the EL, let alone the CL at that point it is either ram in Giroud or go to false nine strictly as an example, Bats leading the line over the next 17 games (assuming it is Victimpool in the FA Cup) tempts fate in terms of losing at least 65% of the remaining games overall even with Tammy playing in all it is going to be a huge slog if we drop the next 4

I posted over and over that Cavani said it was 100% Atletico or bust, whether this window or on a free in the summer his mum confirmed this I also said from the beginning that Mertens was going nowhere, that it was all bullshit contract games I do not expect anyone to take my word as gospel, but I do feel vindicated on those 2 players

I agree on all that you just said, that is on Lampard to sort out I just hate to see him not get proper tools in the only 2 positions I desperately wanted for this window I was not asking for anything much, and yet we failed on that even I do think he needs to use Giroud a lot more, as we are now stuck with him Bats is pure pants

not just inept they took it out on Giroud over Conte besting them Inter were literally the only team who rates Moses, so that was a no brainer but Giroud is another creature plus there is a strong hatred of Deschamps too because of Kante so I see this as a cheapshot at him as well (not that the fuckstick doesn't deserve it)

(Luis, Baba, Alonso, Emerson). I never rated any of them Marina cocked up on Alex Sandro, then Telles over multiple windows there are others out there we could have made a serious effort with Gosens (and we had Emerson or Alonso as makeweight) or Grimaldo thsi summer we really need to try and prise Theo Hernandez away from Milan as well as pick one of the other s and finally dump the dregs we are already losing valuation quick on Alonso, soon he will be worth less than half of the £45m we turned down from RM on him in 2018 Inter offered 35m for him, which was our public price, then Marina said 45m or no deal, which is the same shit she pulled in 2018 with RM, wen they met our 45m price, then she said 44m or no deal she can fuck right off but I am sure we will go all out for the £80m Chilwell (who is not worth 80m IMHO) and if we fail there will give up and keep what we have same old bullshit as for Dembele, Lyon DID buy another decent striker (Karl Toko Ekambi), and we also had 2 to offer as makeweight if they wanted another money talks, bullshit walks colour me utterly sick of this clownish board

good luck coaching Bats, Giroud (a very pissed off Giroud), Alonso, Emerson, Azpi-as-LB, Pedro, and a declino, contract sulking, walking on a free Willian, plus a very out-of-sorts Kante, AND invent creativity where it doesn't exist, all up to a level to win against equal or better teams plus not cock-up against dire desperate low block clawers

erm LB there were multiple great options doable NOW but you may love seeing Azpi trot out there on the wrong side, so far be it from me to quibble also if we have tossed another 10 to 20m or so in front of Lyons face, they might have caved on Dembele this summer he is going to be the subject of a mad bidding war we may end up paying more then than an extra 10m or 20m now we shit away 100's of millions in other ways for fun, but do fuckall in term of necessary player investment at crunch time after fighting like rabid dogs to get the ban overturned we end up missing out on CL after this fail and the damage is compounded so sorry, not buying this Pollyanna-ish company line bullshit finally I have to laugh at people who think we are going to toss out around 400m gross spend this summer I have meticulously showed that that is what we are looking at if we ONLY deal with LB, DMF, Wingers, and CF and land the targets all think we are landing that 400m is also with zero action at GK, CB, RB, CMF, AMF

China postpones 2020 football season over virus fears https://sports.yahoo.com/china-postpones-2020-football-season-over-virus-fears-061053193.html China announced Thursday the suspension of all domestic football and postponed indefinitely the top-flight Chinese Super League (CSL) season in response to the deadly viral outbreak sweeping the country.

Contract situations walk on frees in the summer Willy Caballero (we sign him at 39yo to another 1 year I would guess, and probably not upgrade) Willian (£65m loss, will be £75m if we cave in and give in to his demands and renew for 2 years at 200K PW) Pedro (5 or 6m losss) Olivier Giroud (6 or 7m losss) Marco van Ginkel (horrid luck for the lad) Kenedy (I can see us renewing him and loaning him out yet again) Clinton Mola Jon Russell Jack Wakely Lamptey is undergoing medical with Brighton as I type (£4.5m deal) contracts expiring in 2021 Michy Batshuayi (will sell him for peanuts I wager, especially if we wait until January 2021) Victor Moses (Inter have no obligation to buy) Faustino Anjorin Marcel Lavinier Thierno Ballo Charlie Brown Ian Maatsen an absolute tonne of dregs on contracts until 2022. some on the squad, some out on loan, staggering amount of dogshit

Assclown board. On so many levels.

Sums it up for me.

Lol Now Ampadu is supposedly staying at Leipzig. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-dealt-blow-chase-3797719 Another 5 months of bench riding. Smdh

Better start polishing up the summer 2020 fail excuses. All it takes to rip us to shreds then is 3 things. 1 Some other club scuppers Dembele. (Werner and/or Lautaro are not coming, if you start from that as a stance you are already delusional and I cannot help you.) I so doubt we go after my target, Calvert-Lewin. 2 We are priced out of Sancho. 3 We fail on Chilwell and do NOTHING yet again at LB. Bonus nail in the coffin, we do not sell Kante, and continue to ram him down the lineup's throat (with backroom pressure on Lamps to do just that)

Once the permits for the new stadium are allowed to expire, it is time to start demanding Roman sell the club, If we also have one last bad summer (2020, which is now an insanely hard overall pull) window. We are that and a few non sales, CL misses, and contractual cock-ups away from becoming a semi-permanent midtable team by 2023 at the latest.

He is getting his first taste of the old Marina scrotum twist. If he plays his cards right maybe he too can walk away with £26m or so like Conte did.

Like I have been saying from the beginning, it was, is, and will be 100% bullshit. He is not leaving Napoli. Plus he is injured.

Expect an announcement soon of Willian signed to a new 2 year extension on 200K PW. The board and its sycophantic pillow biters will herald it as 'better than any signing we could have made in January.' They can cram that bollocks up their batty. Fallout to continue when Marina refuses to offer Tammy the same salary, setting up a game of transfer chicken as after this summer, he becomes basically a 1 year to go on contract potential forced sale (see Cuntois, Hazard, et al.) in 2021.

Not a chance he is the main RB next season, and every game Lamps trots him out at LB is a partial capitulation. He is strictly a squad player starting next season, if not, we will pay a hard price.
