Sky reckon Al Hilal are sniffing around him and Kane.

SIGN KANE! SIGN KANE!

[hallelujah]

Villa have signed Moussa Diaby, a winger, from Leverkusen for 52 million!

I don't really know anything about him, but Emery has been doing some good stuff this window. Tielemans on a free from Leicester and Pau Torres from Villareal so far.

They could be one to watch next season.

Barcelona - Juve got called off because all the Spaniards have got the tom tits.

Trevor Francis has died of a heart attack.

The first million pound footballer.

[cyrille]

He's obviously got his heart set on a free to Real next season, but if PSG do sell him now, surely only the plastic cheats and the plastic barcodes would have the money to buy him?

There's talk of him going to Saudi with a release clause in 12 months time so that Real can buy him.

[Edmond]

^ Sounds about right.


Didn't PSG buy him through some dodgy 12 month loan deal from Monaco to get around FFP, something like 120 million for the loan then they could buy him for 1 euro in the transfer window after 12 months.

The Currant Bun reckon 260 million quid. I'm not sure Real Madrid would want to pay that, even if they had a year to save up.

[harrybarracuda]

^^^ Chris Bart Williams had died too. Is it a Forest curse? Is Archie Gemmill next?

He'll do a year in Saudi getting stinking rich, a nice xfer fee to PSG and then a free to Real

As conspiracy theories go, that's quite a shit one.

[dirk diggler]

Is Archie Gemmill next

National treasure, doing just fine at 75, pottering around in his garden in Derby.

Well Trevor Francis might have been watering his petunias.

Tomorrow's Arsenal vs Barcelona game will be on Thai TV (PPTV Ch36) at 09:30.

Oh joy, be still my beating heart.

[harrybarracuda]

The seppos are going a little bit mental over Messi.

Two more goals tonight.

[Edmond]

The American commentators make the Thai ones sound somewhat bearable.

It's hideous, but it's still better than the women that did the boxing yesterday.

Aldershot's Tweet.

Factually true, I suppose, but a bit cheeky. I wonder if Chelsea will see the humour.

[harrybarracuda]

Madrid 2-0 against the Moaners.

Arsenal Barca delayed for half an hour or so.

[harrybarracuda]

Cool, proper English commentators.

Jumpers for goalposts.

[harrybarracuda]

Arse 2-2 Barca at half time, four goals from errors.

Saka 1 goal, 1 assist, 1 missed penalty.

I'd forgotten how much Stewart Robson hates Arsenal for sacking him.

[harrybarracuda]

No luck involved in the next three Arsenal goals. A brace from Troussard and a belter from Vieira gave Arsenal a 5-3 win over Barcelona.

The Moaners didn't do badly against Real either, better finishing and they'd have had a result too.

[hallelujah]

I see Harry is still struggling to work out how to use the various football threads on here.

Anyway, Mbappe has refused to even meet Al Hilal to discuss any potential 260 million transfer. And so he should, even if he was to be on 4 or 500 million a year.

How much money can you spend? How many houses and cars can you ever have? How much champagne and charlie can you do in retirement?

I still reckon that year-long loan to the Prem is on the cards.

[harrybarracuda]

I see Harry is still struggling to work out how to use the various football threads on here.

So British teams playing Spanish teams in the USA doesn't count as "World Football" then.

OoooooooooKkkkkkkkkkkkkk

He's 24. They could pay him a billion pounds for a couple of years and then sell him to the Barcodes for half a mill so they don't breach FFP.
