Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[UK Redsox]

I still don't know where a No 8 in Rugby Union plays

Back of the scrum, in open play it's the fattie mirror to a scrum half so the main job is to track across behind the ball and always be available to join in on any phase of play.

I know you probably weren't serious though.

When my dad started playing Number 8, he wore number 15

Number 8s weren’t called Number 8s until they started wearing number 8

Before that the player wearing number 8 was usually a prop but he was just called a prop and not Number 8

However, when the Number 8 was actually the number 15, they weren’t called Number 15, they were just a Back Row or Lock

Depends on the transfer fee.  I mean people were worried about Wilson. it would be a brave club who paid much for him, and an even braver insurance broker. Maybe we can get Richards' doctor to do the medical.

Thanks for the transfer whispers Holy Trinity. Poor Vinnie took a couple of sceptical posts on his claims to heart but I appreciate any "insider" info however caveat'd. It makes this thread great again.

Hes generally reliable. The only person who really put me off posting on here is footyskillz aka vill I an.

There is an Ignore Poster option in your profile settings.

How many can you add to the Ignore List.

Just asking.

Rashica gas had a change of heart and os no longer arsed about staying in Germany. We're willing to meet the £25m fee.

Hypothetically  but Watkins, King and Rashica looks a hell of a lot more dangerous than Trez, El Ghazi and Wesley.

Where's this from Ads?

DeichStube and Sport Life - Bremen blogs/news it seems.

I guess RB haven't got the cash.

Ta!

Just google "Aston Villa". it comes up, on about page 1 or 2, with "NewsNow". And which includes all the links to the latest "fantastic", "incredible", "you won't believe it" clickbait articles.

Sounds like Mendez-Laing might be available for free....

[Risso]

It should do. Can you try again please and let me know the result so I can pass it on to Martin?

I just added you and Ads to the ignore list, and I can still see your posts.  Purely for scientific purposes you understand!

Pretty sure Mods are exempt.

Can’t ignore Percy then?

He’s ignored me plenty, probably very wisely for both our sakes 😉

Who said that?!

Been linked with Bristol City's Niclas Eliasson too. 24-year old Swede.

I'd wait to the transfer deadline. They may drop the price.

Number eight is an inside right, oh for the days when you got your number and knew precisely what your job was.

What has he done ? (allegedly)

That was last week wasn’t it? And was found to be a load of Twitter bollocks.

No idea. wiki says breach of contract:

I bit of a dig around shows up a lot of rumours on this.

The most important one being that there's a court case involved and, if so, I suspect it's not something the mods will want being discussed.

Punched a badger in an argument over a woman.

Gk Alphonse Areola signing for Fulham is a class signing  its loan and would have taken him at Villa
Very decent buy but

he was mentioned to be going to Arsenal which would free up Martinez to a move to Villa.

I've heard he's a bit of a tit.
