Holy poo poo.'

E: I'll do it to myself. Nice Meltdown. Because I'm melting down. All this team had to do was bring in one or two players to have a realistic title challenge and they refused to do it.

This is pretty hosed up. I approve your meltdown.

Yeah Cyril the Swan is pretty much that. Probably one of the few mascots whose been charged with bringing the game into disrepute. I remember him abseiling onto the pitch at the Vetch once too which was fun.

It's almost as if the club knew Koscielny had an achilles issue last season and did the exact same thing, hmm

It's almost as if the club has had midfield balance /personnel issues for years now, hmm

It's almost as if the strikeforce has been weak since RVP left


Wenger / Kroenke / the board just don't seem that interested in winning the league, and sooner or later guys like Ozil, Sanchez, Bellerin, and Ramsey are gonna catch on and bounce.

Of course not, a real swan could break your arm. Can't have that sort of dangerous animal running around a football pitch.

It'll pop if the other leagues don't get better broadcasting deals, because who the gently caress else is going to take all these Lamelas that have been transferred for 30m+ on 250k/week if not other PL clubs.

Isn't it just "do this deal or you'll never sign any of my other players"? Then he turns around to other players and says "look at the move I got for X, sign with me and I'll get you to Madrid/Chelsea/PSG etc". He can play both ends against the middle, it's a beautiful position to be in.

I've read before that he tries to package his players so that you have to buy a Martial to get a Costa.

transfermarkt has him listed under Mondial Sports Management. That's not Mendes' company.

This is the justification everyone uses for being against selling the team to Usmanov, that and the fact that he's essentially an Uzbebki Roman Abramovich.

Yeah he has 8 of his players at Valencia and 8 more at Monaco, like 4 at Real Madrid, etc, he obviously likes these package deals.
