Winter 25-26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Don’t, under any circumstances, learn Italian.

It's a piece of piss, you just wave your arms about.

And add "o" to English words.

[Sexual Ealing]

That's Spanish.

[cdbearsfan]

Two languages learned in five minutes. This is easy.

Chelsea about to pay £130mil for Rogers apparently. Aren't they under the same UEFA sanctions as us on a positive expenditure?

Would sell for £130m. Great price.

We could do a lot with that and I trust Unai to spend it well.

Sod that. I want him at Villa until he's won everything with us.

[PaulWinch again]

I do find responses to a perceived big fee being “sell, sell, sell” weird. Rogers is an absolute star for us, and will get better. Why anyone would actively want to see him go to a rival is beyond me.

I’ve probably mentioned this before, but when I was younger we went to Venice for a table football tournament with my dad’s mate’s family. His mate, Ian, insisted on speaking “Italiano” which, as you’d said, was literally English words with an “o” at the end.

Whilst we (me, my dad, his mate’s son) were playing Subbuteo all day, he decided to explore Venice. Improbably he managed to befriend an Italian fireman on the 10am “bus-o” in to Venice. The chap didn’t speak a word of English, and Ian would only speak “Italiano” to him. They proceeded to spend the entire day in a cafe drinking “cheapo vino” and gesticulating at eachother. He was a proper state when he eventually returned at about 8pm.

I find it funny that this type of “getting absolutely smashed in a pub” style parenting has disappeared almost entirely during my lifetime. Like it wasn’t at all weird to go to the pub with my dad’s and drink half pints of coke whilst he was sinking heroic quantities of bitter. Whereas now there’s probably a significant amount of people (myself included) who would think that it’s a tiny bit irresponsible.

It's one of the many reasons I don't have kids. They can have it how I had it or not at all.

Selling our best player, arguably, to an inferior club with a lower gate capacity and forward momentum? Would question Morgan’s desire if that were the case.

Lower gate capacity.... does that mean some of our lot will be swayed by clubs that playat the Stadium of Light and the one where the Olympics was held? Come on, each seat at Stamford Bridge is prime real estate.

The reason for me is I need to find a woman to let me put my willy in her first.

With patter like that, it's only a matter of time.

[cdbearsfan]

"Hi, can I buy you a drink?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Before I do, let me talk you through these Ollie Watkins goalscoring stats for the past seven seasons, if you come back to mine later I can show you the graph I've made"

"Ermm, I've just remembered I need to be somewhere"...

You can’t flirt (the smirk).

Need to work on your finishing, Smirker.
