If I was Lee Sharpe I’d sue!

 

[Ancient Citizen]

Well he got his contract extended the other week ;-)

Oh yes, forgot about that, but as we all know, that's just to increase his immediate value when a buyer emerges.
So, make that £50 million bid, and another 40 for Young, at Rag central they'll be running around with their arses on fire;)

 

[Newman Noggs]

Who is the crafty bastard within City that keeps putting out that they want a certain player, knowing that
the competition will immediately move heaven and earth to gazump us?

I reckon it was Tolmie ably supported by the rest of us in the "It's quiet..." thread.

Never mind fred the red is here to save the day

52m right there.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Fred.

It is one for the tackling purists........

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Apparently, he was fucking dire last night. He passed the ball to a Palace player so often, he might as well have been wearing an Eagles' shirt.

A very 'out there' hypothetical - no way he makes it into the Palace midfield ;-)

Given a choice I doubt many would swap ederson for the alpaca

Eh? Anyone who would even entertain that thought should be disembowelled. The alpaca suits the rags because he's a 'Hollywood' stopper: every save looks like he's rehearsed it so it looks great on the big screen. He's not worthy to be even mentioned in the same breath as Ed.

That's what he just said
Ooops united fans sorry didn't realise I was on the united thread

Just looked at the City thread on ragcafe. One of them suggested that puma gear is shit and a poor man's nike.
What the fuck are Chevrolet then???

They really are turning into the history boys of the league, just heard a section on talksport about them being in talks with DeGea over a new contract, they then put on a recording of their managers views. Usual shit that you would expect along the lines of points he has saved, how valued he is and how in his opinion he is the best keeper in the world. And then he ends with the comment " Just as Peter was when he played here".
I have noticed this now, he seems unable to answer anything without referencing his time under the GPC.
I understand they have this bullshit notion about the U*****D way but fuck me this must be wearing thin with the players.

This DDG mess is a real test for them. They have let their salaries run wild with Sanchez and Pogba. DDG is clearly the best player they have and has been loyal when he could have forced a move a number of times so you can see why he wants the big big bucks. But when do they draw a line. If he gets his rise then what does that do for transfers this summer and the likes of Rashord and others who will be on a fraction of their biggest deals.
