Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2018 Why on earth would anyone think that beating Real Madrid to a third tier £1.5 million striker would be a coup anyway? He was clearly only being lined up for Castilla, it's not like he would be challenging Benzema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted January 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2018 It can only be looked on as a coup as his Madrid move was apparently a done deal in mid to late January and he's turned his back on them. He was destined for Spanish Boat B to hone his skills in the same way Odegaard (remember him!?) was. But by all accounts one of the reasons Madrid were happy to let Morata go was because they were lining up Mir. He's no doubt seen how well players like Jota, Neves and Cavaleiro have done, playing first team football and thought 'I'll have a bit of that too'. A wise move for a young player really. Some of our English youngsters would do well following a similar suit. I just love it because of the headline it created. And if he has nothing more than a Michu season I'll be happy.

Sphinx Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Just finished Michael Cox's The Mixer: The Story of Premier League Tactics, from Route One to False Nines. I really enjoyed it. Some interesting analysis on significant events in Premier League history. It was a breeze to read through as it flows very well. I thoroughly recommend it. Also, that Morata claim seems pretty ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck is wrong with people? I think the eyes thing is funny. The Livermore thing less so obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted January 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm not saying he's anything like Morata in quality, let that be known, and it's most certainly individuals bigging up the deal and especially the 'Wolves beat Real to striker signing!!!1!1!' hype. I think the more common sense way of saying it would have been Real were looking for a striker in a similar mould to Morata that could be developed at the club, and Mir at practically nothing was a good punt to take.

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted January 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2018 Someone shouting "OH FOR FUCK SAKE, CYCLOPS!" after Shiels missed a sitter at Hibs caused the biggest case of mass "Becker laugh" I've ever witnessed. There was some feigned disgust, a load of mouth covering and snorting, nearly everyone cracked eventually. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Nah, not convinced mocking people with a disability is humorous behaviour to be honest guys. He clearly doesn't find it funny and Falkirk already had two players banned for doing it in the previous match between the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
