Translation please

With the money we gave to Çağlar Söyüncü, we could have bought 2,947 Holstein dairy cows and milked 61,880 liters of milk a day. That would average 1.5 million euros per week, 45 million euros per month, and 540 million euros per year. That's 10 million euros. So what did we do? We bought Çağlar. And what did he do? He got injured. Miners work 8 hours a day and earn 30,000 euros a month. Çağlar Söyüncü missed 37 matches in 2 years due to injury and earns 10.8 million euros a month. That's 360 times what a miner earns a month. So, is the money they both receive legitimate?

I'm going to assume nothing has been lost in translation and immediately become a Turkish miner.

Yes. I did think that. Pretty good salary in the overall scheme of things

Thanks, although some of the figures must be wrong (e.g. I don't think he earns 10.8 M euros a month)

He was great in 2020-21 at Leicester before his form dipped and Rogers refused to pick/help him. Since then his career has gone from bad to worse. A pity.

Harvey Barnes nets against Barca.

And we’re pissing our pants over a win against Bristol. lol

 

It’s mad how fortunes in football can change.

My cousin, Ian Beighton, has just interviewed Emile Heskey for his podcast "So, What's Your Story?"

 

You can find it on Spotify, Apple, etc. and also watch the interview on the podcast's new YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84jUsYIWUZk

 

It's an hour and 15 minutes. I think it's a fascinating conversation, and there are plenty of interesting insights into the Martin O'Neil era, etc. Give it a watch! :cool:

I've barely followed the Premier League since last year. How long has Hermansen been back in the West Ham team and do the fans rate him now?

Around six weeks and it appears he has been a big part of their improvement.

Schmeichel potentially having to retire, looks like he's seriously messed up his arm

 

What a sad way to end his career, if this is it. 
Probably explains his poor form since the Scotland qualifier. Probably ill-advised to soldier on when he sustained the injury in that game.

Man Utd 'following' ex-Leicester City man amid potential 'swap' deal
By Harry Mail
Football writer


Manchester United will get the chance to bring in some new faces when the summer window opens up
Manchester United are ‘following’ Besiktas midfielder Wilfred Ndidi and they could include goalkeeper Altay Bayindir in a potential ‘swap deal’ to land the player this summer, according to Turkish news outlet Spor X. They are being linked with a possible move for the ex-Leicester City man at the end of this season. The Red Devils are currently on course to get back into the Champions League.


They are sat in 3rd place in the Premier League table. Michael Carrick’s side beat Aston Villa 3-1 last time out. Next up is an away trip to Dorset to play AFC Bournemouth on Friday night.


Manchester United eye Besiktas midfielder Wilfred Ndidi
United could see Ndidi as someone to bolster their midfield department. If he joined, he would give them more competition and depth in the middle of the park. In addition, he could be an ideal replacement for Casemiro, who is leaving when this campaign ends.

Ndidi, who is a Nigeria international with 75 caps to his name, made the switch to Besiktas back in 2025. He has since become a key player for the Turkish giants and they could face a real battle to keep hold of him amid attention from elsewhere. The 29-year-old has made 24 appearanecs in all competitions and has chipped in with two goals.

 

He started out at Genk and broke into their first-team as a youngster. Leicester then came calling in 2017 and he spent eight years at the King Power Stadium. He found the net on 18 occasions in 303 games for the Foxes.

After leaving last year, Ndidi posted on social media: “Thank you, Leicester City, for the love, memories, and opportunity to grow—on and off the pitch. Lifting the FA Cup, fighting every game, and feeling your support has meant the world to me. To the fans, teammates, staff—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Once a Fox, always a Fox.”

He's 'wasted' a big part of his career.

 

I put wasted in quotation marks as he's ovbiously won the lot and left no stone unturned but I can't think of a better way to put it. He could have been playing at a much, much higher level over the last few years.

 

Good luck to him with his wife.

Imagine having Luke as your step son, what a family.
