If only you were all geeky enough to do highly relevant Battlestar Galactica puns.



Chill out and get yourself a Starbucks or something.

Paulie did you not read Hunter's opinion of Adama ?

"He runs at players, got past players and has the ability to do things that should be the provenance of a man of similar stature to Lionel Messi. But no, he's like a well-built middleweight boxer who is gifted and hugely thrilling and will unsettle defences."

you're on your own son :)

So do we actually know how much this release clause is...I've seen figures ranging from £4m to £12m already today. Also if the buy back clause is written into the contract then surely it can't be for the same price we bought him for...or is that likely to be a condition in the original release clause?

I think there is confusion in the media about whether it is Euros or Sterling.

Blimey, we're not signing Sterling as well are we?

Have been listening to the Moose on Talk Sport giving the latest transfer news and there was no mention of the Traore deal. All the transfer news seemed to revolve around the dealings of his beloved West Ham. People go on about Paul Franks on WM being useless, believe me compared to the Moose he is a good journalist. Moose is absolutely useless.

That Euros is a good player too, but maybe a bit weak for the premier league.

To be honest my expectations would be low from a person referred to as 'The Moose'.

He had a terrible time in Greece.

He has to have the right support around him or his performance drops

Must be some off-field issues we don't know about if his manager made him available on a cut-price deal.
