The Football.....

[SpokeyDokey]

I see we're already back to interrupting the new season with a week off for this international crap. How the press can get so excited about who plays centre half against some banana republic most people have never heard of beats me. Does anybody really care, apart from a few saddos like the England Band?

It's utter rollocks - couldn't give a fig about England and the pitiful brand of football they churn out. Irritates the hell out of me these breaks.

Not sure the FA cares either as yet another hapless manager has been appointed. Has anyone ever been sacked more times than Big Sam?

And if I hear one more mention about the fecking armband...

He wasn't worth £50m when they sold him and he's not worth £32m now!

Still, not as stupid as the Pogba transfer.

Lol your clutching at straws there.

I am? Because I don't see how re-signing a player you let go for free for £90m makes any sense.

But then very little in top flight English football does. £50m for Stones? FFS.

United resigned Pogba.
Chelsea are resigning David Luiz.
Arsenal are resigned to never winning the Champions League.

Mate the way go off in this thread sometimes you come across like I had a say in re signing him. I simply put a link to a piece in the press you immediately come back with still it's not as stupid as buying Pogba. Maybe maybe not at least we bought back a player that has improved (not improved for the price tag nowhere near) however Sideshow Bob was shoot when you bought him shoot when you sold him I see no logic there ?

Lets not forget he wouldn't be the first player Chelsea had sold and bought back.

I'm not trying to make it personal, I was just commenting on the link.

Perhaps "stupid" was the wrong word to use, but I do think the Pogba thing is ridiculous, bit like taking back a girlfriend who ditched you for a more attractive prospect but has changed her mind since you've won the lottery.

I quite like David Luiz, I wonder if Jose would consider a last ditch bid to scupper his Chelsea comeback?

Quite surprised @vickster hasnt made a cameo performance in this thread since they got 3 points at the weekend against the mighty Watford.

Wash your mouth out.

There are some very average players going for some vastly overinflated transfer fees in deadline day today. Money has ruined football

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I'm ok with David coming back - very passionate player and I always thought he was future captain material.

Makes the odd howler but I always liked his ambition to get the ball forward. Good at free kicks too.

Let's see what Conte can do with him.
