It’s Quiet 20 - What is the Wirtz that could happen?

[Nightmare Walking]

That ship has sailed - in fact it's that far away it's docked and unloaded it's cargo and might be on it's return journey.
Just to be clear I don't see it - it blew up when the betting allegations came up and I believe it's still not been cleared up??

It's not, mate. They are still hanging over him. Such a shame, as he would have been perfect for us.

If it sticks. They’ll always be a league for him if not here. Look at Greenwood he didn’t even have to go to Saudi.

If he's guilty, he will be getting locked up. It's pretty much the same as the Pakistani Bowlers who were bowling no balls.

When the PL charge him for the betting, he will never play football again.

That'd be the day after we sign him.

Sadly different, the individual from stretford wasn't found guilty.
Paqueta might be a very different case - but until it's actually heard (it astounds me btw that it's still hanging over him) no-one will go near.

it'll be a worldwide thing if it sticks.

Not suggesting he wouldn't - and wasn't too sure if you were on the wum ;).
I actually feel sorry for him, not if he's guilty mind, but no-ones going near him until this is sorted one way or another.

No wumming, mate. I think he is great. He can play 6/8/10 and he has a touch of class. I'd say he would have been the perfect Gundo replacement rather than a straight up DM. But he can fill in there if required.
I really hope he has not done what they are accusing him off. It would be such a waste of a career.

Can people please just take screenshots of tweets and post them rather than the links?

Both please, links are useful saves trawling through loads of tweets

Shame Paqueta didn’t happen.

Maybe the summer if he gets the all clear?

I seem to remember Ric would prefer links for legal reasons. My memory isn’t great though.

Are there any benefits to leaving some business till the last week? Lots of clubs seem to do it

Thought that was just for taking screenshots of articles but fair enough if that's the case!

Probably not for the quality we want/need, think anyone we target will be known or shutdown in the 24hr right after Brugge

No you could be correct

Yeah I suspect you are right

the late window close will help here i think, gives a bit of time to panic/pivot.

“Manchester City have submitted a £100m bid to Brighton for Carlos Baleba”

End up with D Luiz when Bloom wants another £30m

I wouldn’t bet on it.

Not sure I'd like someone who pretends to pull their groin so they don't have to sprint after the ball
