Is this kid the next next Ronaldo?

He's better than that!! He's a combination of ronaldo, beckham, van noodleballs and charlton.

 

[Henkeman]

If he was really that good, do you not think when we let Lopes go to Monaco that his name would have been mentioned.

This is a really good point.

I've been predicting for a while that the scum have been building up to their "Steve Daley" moment. Well folks it's arrived. £58.3m for a kid I've never heard of.This will not end well for them.

Over 100 million Thai baht incredible some shirts that is

From the rouge bistro. They do like to poll their audience from around the world.

What do think of the (supposedly) imminent signing of Anthony Martial?

   We're getting totally ripped off

6. 
   Who?

   26.5%

So half the pollsters don't know who they are buying or they are being ripped off and at best do not want him. Out of the positive 50%, 15% think it is brilliant the rest are not ecstatic but it is an OK thing to do all for the giveaway price of 58m. All I need is that gif of Laurel and Hardy.

I remember watching Arsenal v Monaco last season and I don't remember any fantastic talent.

Letting little pea go and bringing in a kid is a risk to say the least. Rooney will get injured at some point and James Wilson or this kid will have to come in

 

[almir]

I really hope he finishes as flop. Not even their revenue could cover all these bullshit overpaid signings without results, money will stop coming at some time.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

If you've recently turned 40 you're a couple of years out with that particular character iirc.

Swap Shop was a televisual manifestation of bourgeois smugness.

Noel Edmunds was/is a bigger prick.

I would have been seven when Tiswaz finished in April 1982.

Swap Shop had Keith Chegwin, so check mate.

I understand that this will be merged with another thread but as another poster said, we can't let them get away with upping our transfer fees and minimising theirs.

But to be fair, the players we have signed have a genuine chance of meeting the targets that would trigger the add on clauses, you know maybe winning something.

To be fair the rags may have a clause to pay an extra £20 million if they win the league in the next 5 years, they are never going to have to pay it are they :)

 

[blueheart84]

The media would be bending us over and reaming us if this was our signing.
Yet they are bending over backwards to justify it for the rags.

Such bullshit, I've never really believed in 'the agenda' but the more successful we become and the lower the old cartel fall, the harder the behaviour of uefa and the media becomes to swallow.

 

[stony]

The rags are fond of cherry picking comments from here and posting them on the caf. I wonder why they never pick any of @gordondaviesmoustache posts?
