the chimp

If he is so set on Chelsea, and only Chelsea, all he has to do is formally reject our offer and Liverpool are removed from the equation. He's not done that yet so "does not want to join Liverpool", as things stand (and as they've reported), is absolute fucking bollocks.

There were reports in the press of another (unnamed) interested party that had come in for Caicedo middle of last week. We know we'd looked at him last season too. It looks like we wanted Lavia but not at the price Southampton wanted and so our incremental bids there were more to ensure we still had a plan B. I don't think when news of our interest in Caicedo came out after the Chelsea interest in Lavia it was us responding to that, I think it was them trying to bully us in to dropping our interest in a player everyone seemed to think was nailed on for Chelsea. The average cost of our 3 new midfielders in 65m each, which for a full upgrade and the money we managed to get in seems really good. Andre is January seems a logical Thiago replacement too. What a difference a day makes. Appreciate we're not perfect and some work in defence still required but fuck me, I'd have been delighted with this end of last season.

I hardly post, you cunt.

We've bid for Caicedo according to the Telegraph apparently?

@Anubis Limited power tripping opportunity in that though, mate.

You need a bit of that.

Thy'd still somehow manage to lose, the shit cunts.

Exactly this. Thoughts with you @Creator Supreme Stay strong, buddy.

He could also help repaint the stands if injured.

Den Dennis would be boss in midfield. Just tell him the opposition have asked for a Barry Manilow CD in their changies and watch him go.

Polar caps is the established, academic hypothesis. I think there is uniformity of agreement in those circles that a great flood did occur. Where Carson's hypothesis differs is that the flooding was a very violent, very quick event rather something that occurred over a prolonged period.

The writers of BSG must've been fairly knowledgeable about Sumer. This is trippy as...

SNW S2 E2, outstanding. Love this series.

They always have been.

Warra game dat was den.

I used to love Huyton Village. It was only five minutes from ours in Netherley. We left before the Asda went up and all the new shops were put in. I went home one Christmas, saw all the changes and felt like Elf when he thinks he sees Santa.

@Scooby Dudek beat me to it.

Well, they can't now go to Europe to live and work can they you Tory cunt (Anderson not you, mate).

In his pomp when Owen was one-on-one I was celebrating before he'd even taken the shot. I have zero faith that Nunez in the same situation is going to score. With that said, it's his first year, and selling now seems really premature. For me he needs another season where we've worked out a system for the team, and the staff have worked out where he's going to play, and what his specific role is. It's been a clusterfuck of a season for him to have joined as a kid and then had the added pressure of being expected to hit the ground running. The price tag set that expectation but that isn't the lad's fault. Nor is it his fault that he might just not be suited to how we play. As an aside, I don't like his remonstrations on the pitch. That could well be my confirmation bias, but he seems to moan at others a fair bit when the fuck up is usually his.

Daichi Kamada at Eintracht Frankfurt is interesting. He would be free, has low wages, is hardly ever injured, runs a lot, can play on the right of midfield, joins in with the attack from there, and scores goals. I'm not saying he'd be a world-beater, but he'd strengthen us for a minimal outlay, and take some of the pressure off Harvey/support Mo.
