Also in the piece:

Unfortunately, we've been there, done that and enabled them to trouser £80 million on a quick sale to a chinese money-launderer

All they are looking at are quick fit loans, who can be sent back in the summer. Having spoken to some who went to Wigan when Joao came on spent most of his time on the wing and had the pace of a snail, hopefully a one off and if he plays tonight he will be seriously quicker.

West Ham Reserves - 6 ins lose to an inform lower league leader

Shock horror - Joe Hart in goal - the sooner they return him the better

You'd expect Moyes would have no interest in a good cup run at the expense of EPL survival

Only 4 points above relegation even with the change in form

As for new signings mid-season - over rated imho unless your leaking goals at will

The spitting academy is going quite well - 49th minute red card this week

Our next level signing Jordan Hugill from Preston for 9 million, so much for the 30 mill striker.
Just to make matter worse the Daily Mail are running a story that Director of Transfer Tony Henry has sent an email claiming we will be signing no more African players, as they are a serious disruptive influence when not in the team. Two recommended have also been rejected as not good enough even though one is apparently a current international.

I have not seen the article have only be told, off in search of now.

I have now, you could not make this up, well maybe Sullivan could.

Tony Henry has been suspended pending a full and thorough investigation.

Sami Nasri is now a free agent after having his contract torn up yesterday and we are apparently interested.

We had a recruiter in an Australian Aussie Rules team who spoke too directly
about overlooking aboriginal players because they could be harder to work with
due to a variety of reasons.

What he said was true up to a point but this PC era doesnt tolerate hearing what people are really thinking

Not forgetting every 2nd year you lose players to the African Cup - edit - not so 2019-

A real reason not to have too many in your squad

PS

The next best reason - Mario Balotelli
- mis-firing on the pitch or playing up off it

Nasri

The guy who won the EPL with Man City worth hiring
The guy who he became after winning it is who you'd be getting

A lazy self satisfied tool just chasing the money

That no longer applies. The next tournament in 2019 (and subsequent ones) will be held in June/July.

We have signed Oladapo Afolayan from Solihull Moors for an undisclosed fee.

I know other clubs have been looking at him, but is this Sullivan trying to save face and does not realise he is English?

We have also been offered Jan Kirchhoff for free, another injury prone player, but as he is free I suspect DS is completing the paper work as we speak, he can then join Andy Carroll on the treatment table, or get in line behind all our other injured players.

Blues signed Nowon... but I can't find who he's played for...our local rag said it, so it must be true.
He might be from a Chinese Academy, that is under investigation, and also owned by our current CEO...

That figures

**m100** · February 2nd, 2018, 03:43 PM

latest insight from mr a wenger - "unpredicability has gone down".

How the hell can he say that when he doesn't know where he's going to lose next?
