You're descending into lunacy again.

I'm loving our transfers so far this year. Get the best 19-23 year olds and sprinkle in 1 or 2 veterans who fit our system perfectly. Plus snatch up Brasil's best young talent low key under the radar. Gabriel Jesus looks out of this world for a 19 year old. On Neymar's level, no exaggeration.

So sit back and crack open a beer (or light your Italian crack pipe) and get ready to enjoy the next few years.


You know, Big, much on the contrary to "iwasthere2012" [although Im everyday more convinced he's someone backup taking the piss on me] You are a bright mind who had my respect when we often found in agreement, as well as has now, when You seems constantly aiming to throw s***e at me. Think it's mostly down to offseason boredoom.

But, tell me, why should be arsed to take seriously the above assumption of lunacy.
anyhow, if interested, You can have your fair share of headache with my last 2 posts above.
time for bed now.

p.s.: I'm oldstylish so, apart for some doobies at the proper age, I can only range from beer to malts,
But I wont need it to enjoy the next few years, so please, please, dont turn into the next version of reptile Ted from the ending of the Mancini era.

Swalesie . I can assure you, I'm not the reincarnation of any previous poster.
I'm only on here a little less than two years, so I have no idea of any history you have with anyone else on here from years ago.
Personally I love your posts, but they are quite long and can be a tad difficult to follow at times.
If I misrepresented the gist of your posts, feel free to put me straight.

City supposedly saying to Everton we won't be held to ransom. There was a picture of Stones looking absolutely miserable as he went off on Everton's German tour.

oh fuck off mancio - stop invading threads and making them about you

anyway

apparently we've made a final offer of 40 million for Stones and they can take it or leave it. a more sensible offer for me, still over the odds, but that is the market

Washington, DC the nations Capitol! Legal to grow 6 at a time.

But 40 mil for stones sounds lovely. Think it'll end up around 45, but it doesn't really matter does it. Not my money and what's 5 or 10 million in the bigger picture

Williams to Swansea 10 mill...... Good buy, excellent player. Does this allow Stones to leave?

£10 million is very good for Williams. We paid £42 mill for Mongo!

Surely that means they're getting a replacement in for Stones. Hopefully we haven't been held to ransom like was being suggested.

Is Williams in is last year or something? I don't understand why Swansea would sell him for so cheap yet we paid how much for Bony?!

Not seen a better centre half than williams, plus He would love a go at Zlatan, like he did with RVP. 10 mill Is nothing for him. He is proven, and better than anything we have.

£10m for a 32 year old centre back isn't all that great. We paid half that for Demichelis at the same age.

Demi was ok for 5 mill, in today's market AW is great value for 2 good seasons back up for a third, IMHO
