Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[MoetVillan]

some reports are putting Traore's buy out as low as £4m ; if true anyone would be nuts not to buy him

Is that like a release clause and will it fire off a bidding war?

I wouldn't leave Zenit for Smethwick as St Petersburg is a lovely city. I went there in May
 

You might if you were black.

Yep, because every single one of the 143 million people in Russia hate black people don't they.  FFS.

is Ideye Brown still at WBA? I thought he came from the Russian League and cost something astronomical only to score two or three last season.

Nobody has said all Russians are racist (fabulous irony), however St Petersburg do seem to be less friendly towards black players than other European teams...

We haven't signed a player in a week and some people are panicking. I get the impression we got in the players we needed to and now are playing the game with regards to other players. That is dominos need to fall elsewhere for players to leave, other clubs to do their business before we can secure our targets. A number of things will still happen between now and the close of the window. The season is a long one and the starting side will evolve especially when you consider how many new players we have.

What a strange comment. Looking for things to be offended by?

Ah, but yam's cultured now with all yer fancy dancing. Footballers don't care about architecture and history.

The centre of St Petersburg is very nice but if you go into the poorer parts it makes Smethwick look posh. I went in a corner shop in outer St Petersburg and it was very basic, vegetables that were so poor they would be binned in this country.

That's some quality travel-writing there. It's given me a great idea for a new website to rival Tripadvisor.

Rate countries on the quality of their fresh produce!

Papua New Guinea: "Nice melons, but the potatoes tasted funny.."
Germany: "My partner was attacked by a gang of cabbages..."
Uruguay: "We ate cauliflowers from a dumpster..."
