Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[ChicagoLion]

Muscat was hands down the dirtiest player there has ever been at least in remotely modern times. The man was an untamed savage

pussy cat

Muscat was a thug not a footballer, 123 yellows, 12 reds and he was lucky it was only 12.

The first and third are beauties. Didn't see too much wrong with the middle one to be honest.

I thought that, especially by his standards it was a nothing challenge. So many to choose from I just went for the 3 in 1 video.

Quite a few people on twitter are saying that we have Scouts going over to watch Malaga v Sevilla this weekend, on the back of Sherwood being in Malaga earlier in the week. They seem to be guessing that we're either (still) looking at Darder, or at their Keeper, Ikeme.

if we buy another African player, I think we might just have to concede all of our games in January 2017.

You see; that's what happens when your reputation goes before you.  It doesn't matter that you go out to referee a match with a clean sheet for every player, you just know the usual suspects will, at some stage of the game, resort to type/show their true colours, they can't help it.

I could bore you for the next twenty-four hours with my experiences.  One instance happened over here.  Me and a particular player were getting out of our cars prior to a match and he said to me,'Do you want my name now, it'll save time later on?'  I replied, 'Nah, I already know it'.  After every game that I referreed I always went back to the pub/clubhouse for a sandwich and tea/pint especially as the clubs' extended their hospitality. 

After the above match and the inevitable booking for that player, I went back to the pub.  The next thing I knew; a pint was placed in front of me sent by the player in question.  It turned out that he owned the pub!  I never knew that.  I went over to thank him and we sat down to talk.  We discussed football in general and that match in particular.  We eventually got around to his behaviour, he openly admitted, try as he might he couldn't help himself.  Personally I don't subscribe to that theory as I believe it's all about self-control.  That's just one of my experiences.

I think Ikeme was originally scouted by Paulo Cesar with his fellow countrymen Isore and Ikonked.

Sorry, I'm getting confused. It's actually this guy;

Twitter is also suggesting that Vlaar will be a Southampton player by Monday. wonder if this would free-up Fonte for a transfer?

My thoughts exactly. Weren't all Muscat's tackles horrific? Dirtiest and most malicious player I've ever seen play football.

I'd refer the honourable gentleman to Roy Keane, late of this parish: what he did to Haarland still remains one of the worst incidents in football in my lifetime.

I raise you the jock-strap that is David Speedie...horrible player.

Hasn't played in England (yet) but Axel Witsel has a few of those tackles in his back catalogue, the leg break a few years ago where he just stamps down on the guys shin is every bit as bad as the haaland one.

Witsel is a good player and arguably one of the best defensive midfielders around.  Didn't Zenit pay something like 30m for him?

I'm in Malaga and I'm going to the game this evening with my son. He's wearing his Villa shirt but has never been in the cubs or scouts, I think that puts an end to the Twitter rumours. It's fucking hot here, too hot.

Oh he's a great player, the yet was in there because I expect him to end up at Man City or Chelsea before long.  Still a nasty bastard though.

You missed his Swedish cousin.  Ikea.

Why would a team sign a player and pay him for maybe 4 months whilst injured.....doesn't make sense to me....type of thing we would do.
