‘The pearl of Algerian football’

I think the guy’s a diamond; we should jet down there and make it crystal clear to their board that we are not zircon around. They should grow a spinel, tell Ruby and Beryl the tea-ladies to pack his bags, ask Jasper the boot boy to get his kit and get him onyx way up here …

I am sure they will not leave him perched on the shelf. Probably angling for another million.

please elaborate

Just a rumour that has started doing the rounds provided by someone who has been known to get things right. Like anything it's just that...a rumour. That we are linked with Spanish or Spanish league players shouldn't be a shock given Pitarch's history and Juanfran on the staff.

If those same players were acquired this summer under Dean Smith they'd all flourish in his system. The fact that we identified them and got them in at reasonable prices is impressive and something we need to carry on doing with this staff. The fact that we fucked up the opportunity was very indicative of former PL member Aston Villa circa 2011-2016.

Didn't we sack the bloke who identified them and send him off with a flea in his ear?

Possibly. We blamed the bloke who found the gems and kept the numpties who fired him who saw us disappear down the drain to near oblivion.
