We should be touting him to mid and lower-table Spanish clubs.

True but they are mostly skint.

 

[Supadavewolf]

This is a debate that has legs......

Ten to be precise lol.....

The phrase is definitely a damp squid! It means an overall disappointing situation, as squid prefer to be soaking wet.

So if someone says did you have a good night, you could say it was really good, a totally wet squid of a night, thanks.

its a damp squib, done about a firework which fails to go off because the powder or the ignitor has gone wet.

Goes off like a damp squib , ie disappointing and not doing what it should have done

I feel sorry for the squab. It's being completely ignored.

 

[Supadavewolf]

I feel sorry for the squab. It's being completely ignored.

... and so is the squad

But its close relative, with an extra "ble" on the end, is healthy, alive and kicking on the Mix lol.....

Seville need all the help they can get. He would be ideal for them.

Says the Sevilla hater, lol..... Haven't seen much of them but from what l have seen they ain't short of lack of pace defenders....

Just again that wolves will sign a striker and again linking ings if they get a replacement

In fairness bar a single throwaway line at the end of a Mail article, this is the first acknowledgement of our interest in Ekitike from English media since the story broke a week(?) ago.

This would be the first time a lot of people would've heard of this.

Agreed, but Getafe (who have tiny crowds) took on Greenwood from ManUre and presumably are paying (some of) his wages.

 

[Timberwolf]

Your twisting the agenda we don’t have those players left to sell lol we are talking about current sellable assets….. Still praising thelwell is good to see

So you only take profit and loss as a snapshot? Seems a strange way to keep tabs but erm, okay.

 

[WickedWolfie]

I suspect that they hoped to sign him cheaply and turn a hefty profit.

I'm thinking of breeding squid - anybody know anything about them...?

Sick squid is more than a fiver....

Keep em damp....

 

[Himleywolf]

Is it just me? I just don’t get why we wish to annoy a nice Championship club like Plymouth to take Cundle away mid-season & send him to the frozen waste that is Stoke. Is he homesick & wants to live with Mum or what?

How about Joe Hodge to Plymouth good for him good for them.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Keep em damp....

.... or they don't go bang (or summat like that lol)....

FFP is 3 year rolling mate not pick and choose the good from the bad

 

[the 15th Wanderer]

Anyone know if it's squib or squid? Could do with a few more opinions on the matter.

Autocorrect has a lot to answer for

 

[Plovdiv Wolf]

What about the human side of allowing sasa to leave?

Fabio. Why we let player go no replacement. Still plenty time. We hoping for good news

 

[rincewind]

A

.... or they don't go bang (or summat like that lol)....

From what I can gather here, they only go bang if you let them dry out.

 

[Aurum Lupus]

I think they need to be kept damp

Also makes me think this is closer than they are saying. I can’t recall Sky ever announcing when we are just interested in a player. They only come in for us when the signing is done or almost done.

Here’s to hoping.

 

[Flump]

I thought you were the one who excluded all the "good" and only looked at the "bad"?

Or is there a reason you've included Jordao but excluded Neto from the list?

Bang on. Shocking isn’t it

Podence £16.9m
Guedes £28.8m
Fabio £36m
Sasa 15m
Jordao £7.5m

£104.4m down the toilet, we will be lucky to recoup half of that.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Dont like it being in the British press or sky sports the Etikike deal ........

 

[glorybox]

I'm thinking of breeding squid - anybody know anything about them...?

I haven't got an inkling.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

west ham i expect would be all over an ekitike deal, but youd hope the mendes element plus previous deals with psg could get us over the line

we are definitely talknig to them about noha, maybe you get both done around the same

 

[SuperGran]

Cundleinho loan to Stoke confirmed

West Ham are certainly interested in him according to the London media.

It was indeed, l saw it too. Given that the BBC collate media reports it must have been somewhere else previously.

Didn't see that actually, never really pay attention to their gossip page.
More fool me I guess.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Then list all the players, or your point is totally irrelevant.

The increase in value of Kilman, Ait-Nouri, Neto... even Hwang.... more than covers the "losses" you mention.

So it's not a joke... or a disgrace. It's you picking the bottom 5 players for losing value and ignoring everything else.

Sky sports have gotten rid of reliable journalists in favour of content creators. They aren't to be believed anymore. Basically just televised Talksport.
