25m, add ons and a player for a 20 year old near entirely untested winger when they've got dubious finances, piles of debt, no midfield, a shit defence yet Moura, Son and Kane (for now) up front? 

 

Doesn't sound like the best decision making. 

Lamela’s output has been declining for years so perhaps they’re hoping Gil’s output (equally shite) will increase? Either way Sevilla can’t rate him that much if they’re willing to replace him with Lamela for £25m. 
 

On the other hand Lamela could become the 34th player to leave Spurs to win silverware so fingers crossed.

Agreed. Just to add to that point I hate the oldies that give you weird looks for wearing socks and sliders. They’re not bloody flip flops or sandals ffs - they’re meant to be worn with socks! 

Not strictly true they first really appeared in the format they are now in the 70’s  to stop the German football team getting rotten feat in the shower rooms so could be worn in the showers or pool areas etc . Not sure about you. But I don’t shower in my socks 😂

I think Sevilla have had their pants down tbh, Lamela is exactly the sort of player they sign and turn it to gems. 

 

What Rodgers calls signing "broken" players, Sevilla are the absolute masters at. They probably have the best director of football in the world, they consistently buy bargains that others have cast off and make a team out of them. It's impressive.

I didn't realise they were so well thought of in the market. Who else have they done it with?

There's some on the forum that will be seething.

Hope I'm alright to post this here, if not Mods @Mark please remove, but news outlets are now referring to the accused by name...

In all fairness I doubt Ghana soccer net is the most reliable source.

Needs to be edited by you as only foreign news agencies are reporting it.

Done

There's a photo I really want to post, but can't, because it names the accused.

 

It's a picture of Graeme Souness with the caption "Ok so xxx has been accused of child sex offences, but why hasn't Paul Pogba done something about it?"

 

 

Memes aren't funny if they're just written out

Jesus they've dropped a few levels. From the Swedish Number 1 as competition to Begovic who Bournemouth didn't want. 

 

Gray's agent needs a medal and Townsend's must've made montage after montage of that Man City goal.

Thanks for the history lesson mate, showed your age there  I’ll stick to wearing socks with my sliders, but will make sure I shower without them in the future  

As long as they’re white and pulled up to your knee mind

Hope we can emulate their success in the Europa.

I can feel Gray’s ears pricking up from here.

He looks like he can’t believe his luck…

Probably should have turned off the replies lads.

That Rafa is a smart guy. At least when Everton finish 10th next season it will feel like they've overachieved for once.
