I think he was saying he was born in Birmingham, and is cursed by Brummie pessimism. Hence his suggestion that it isn't done yet and the Wahhabi Geordies could still sign the player from under our noses.

Edit: as Risso said.

Makes sense, ta. I got a bit over-excited, like I do about Steflon Don being born here.

Element of truth to this. :) https://twitter.com/AVFC_espanol/status/1529859115966775297

Like it:

“This man is very dangerous. His name is Johan Lange and he is possibly trying to sign a spectacular player from your team. It is very likely that there is nothing you can do to prevent it, so it is best not to offer resistance. We will keep reporting 🗞️.”

I think that Lange has done a good job since being in post.

Diego Carlos is an excellent signing.

Here's a good article about what we can expect from him.
"Carlos launched a perfectly-struck long pass over the top to find Munir El Haddadi, who squared for Luuk de Jong to score. Carlos was also at fault for the equaliser, however, scoring an own goal that saw the game finish 1–1."

Clearly a like-for-like replacement for Mings.

Who was it we announced on the OS as a signing in the late Doug Ellis years, only for the transfer to then not happen?
David Unsworth?

That did actually happen, just not for very long!

Just remembered, it was Craig Bellamy from Newcastle.


Only Ellis could make a statement with the words "cash offer" in it

I'd forgotten about that, I was in Barcelona at the time and got a text message from a Geordie work colleague, had to go and find an 'internet cafe' to check it out

The rules are simple - we like him until we lose a game and then it’s because he signed the wrong players.  See also Gerrard, S

Still subject to personal terms. Handchopping Beheading Homophobe Misogynist United could hijack it yet. Born in Birmingham.

Not being hijacked. Any chance of that and the club wouldn't have announced it. Sevilla announced it too.

You can relax.

I never relax. When we were 3 - 1 up at Anfield, they were down to ten men because our current manager had tried to break the leg of our current under 23 coach, seven minutes of injury time announced, I turned to my sister and said (in all seriousness) 'we can get a draw out of this.' The woman in front of me turned and looked utterly bemused.

Speaking of Boating, how was a stringy, weedy looking fellow so absolutely hard as nails yet Bailey, with the build of a hulk in comparison gets injured in a moderate headwind.

I'd completely forgotten about that. The main Craig Bellamy thing I remember from that sort of era was when he was linked with the other lot and he was quoted as saying something like "I'm Craig Bellamy and Craig Bellamy doesn't sign for shit football clubs".

Yes, I've always had time for this misunderstood character since that.

I don't remember the Bellamy thing at all. Who was our manager, O'Dreary? And why did Bellamy pull-out?

Re Diego Carlos...anyone who has seen him play, is he better with the ball at his feet than Mings? I still don't know whether Konsa is or not, as he shirks responsibility and plays a square ball to Mings eight times out of ten.
