Blue Collar

Learning fast from Daka, isn't he?

Ghanaian league. Ashanti supporters kicking the match commentator out of the ground for questioning the ref's decision to award them a penalty.

It's up there with the Germany-England (1-5) of 2001.

Puel is not just the coach or manager of Sainté, he is a member of the board and was tasked to redress the worsening financial situation of the club. He did well getting rid of 5 or 6 high earners, some of them he himself signed last year, but he also released all the youths who won the championship in their category and only kept Wesley Fofana, Benkhedin and 3 others because they had already signed professional contracts at 18, a year before Claude took charge. Puel having a questionable track record in recognising talent, LCFC are better off getting in touch with the released defenders and giving them a once-over. Let's not forget that this is the guy who released Benrahma at Nice and signed his son, gone awol to date.

So what's the course of action now that everyone knows they have no future at the club? Keep them regardless? Pay them off? Let them leave on free?

Lampard about his goalie: 'Kepa has all my support', meaning 'we still trust him to do the job for us, now how about giving us a check for 50 million and you can have him...no?...40 million?' Rodgers: 'The 3 indesirables have no place in Leicester...their sight repulses me...oh god, take them away, now' Other clubs: 'OK, can I have Slim, please?' Management: 'That would be 8 million for him' O.C: 'What? It's a rip off...your manager said he doesn't want them...we'll pay car-boot rate. Stick this poney in your pocket. Common Slim, get in the car...mind you he does run awkwardly.'

The management seem to be happy to waste other people's money until the day there won't be any left. The Marseille syndrome.

Gengis Under? Under what?

For years, Sunderland was the objet of ridicule by French pundits and journalists for paying over the odds to get average players or gladiators, all muscles and not a shred of football skills. Take a bow villans...

Dear me...Bonaventura is a defensive midfielder and a crap overall football player.

Rodgers loadsamoney...why didn't he just say 'these are good players who would suit a different style of play and we wish them good luck'. Now every club knows that LCFC want to offload three indesirable players no matter. Even Luigi the chef from the Simpsons would have done better: here is a crap a-player I a-want to sell you.

Unless he has a prosthetic leg in pure gold that Man U will know about, Ounas is not worth more than 7 to 8 millions. Here is another stratospheric number I'm offering you: I bet you 200 millions that he will not make it beyond december without a long term injury...that is if he stays in the scuse-signore-for-messing-up-your-shirt Serie A.

He was a defensive midfielder and was at Juventus alongside Gentile and Scirea. Very tough, in the mould of Peter Reid and Norman Hunter.

My mistake: Romeo Benetti

Zlatan in serie A is not the Zlatan of EPL...italian and french referees are the worst I've seen, couple that with the play acting and you won't get many contacts.

Too fragile for EPL...need to stay in Serie A where football has stopped being a contact sport since Gentile and Bonetti retired.

Storm in a teacup. LCFC don't want him, Slimani seems to be happy with loan deals in Europe, interested clubs know this and are biding their time. Very badly managed situation by the club, Puel in particular and he's at it again in Sainté. Not good telling everyone the player is surplus to requirement, not up to it, not fit for purpose, while trying to recoup the money.

Sorry...wrong crowd.

I watch Serie A a lot and I thought he was from Portugal...only.

Ronaldo Vieira oh oh oh oh, Ronaldo Vieira oh oh oh oh, he hails from Guinea Bissau, and also Portugal, and is an England International, and spends a fortune in passports renewal, Ronaldo Vieira oh oh oh oh,

Guardiola in the after match talk: "Varane's absence has greatly affected us"

A lot of grown up Algerians like me still follow LCFC and root for them regardless of what's going on between kids on social media. And to be honest, I for one don't wish for another Algerian to join the club, so this support can continue. Weird logic but this is how it is.

One player who has the same style and can replace or deputise for Chilwell is Rico Henry of Brentford. And he's a year younger.
