    Apparently Arsenal have made an approach for Coutinho on loan, with an option to buy. Is it possible for a club just to field a full team of attacking options, as they seem to be doing everything they can not to sign a centre half. 

    For some ridiculous reason they've been long time admirers of Chris Smalling who United now want shot of. Imagine the reaction if the centre back they finally bring in his him!

    ???  It was Lille who apparently sold Pepe to the agent at the 10% discount.

    Kroenke would have negotiated with the seller - in this case the agent rather than the club.

    I appreciate that but he wouldn't sanction a deal that meant dealing with a financially dodgy third party.

    10% interest is quite high when base rates are below 1%. 

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to borrow against future television income? That's probably more secure than a possible transfer fee.

    On the other hand, Pepe was worth more. However, I wouldn't want my club doing such deals.

    To be honest, I expect multi-billionaire Kroenke knows a thing or two about financial dealings.

  4. "It was a pretty young team we put out today, but again the team was geared up almost as another test to see if certain ones could do well and cope with it and it's evident that one or two probably aren't just ready yet to start regularly in the first team, particularly in the SPFL

    Sounds like Tommy speak for 'Right Steve, I tried it your way and it's not going to work. Get the biscuit tin open.'

    just to broaden our horizons, offer a different perspective and ensure that we don't disappear in a morass of misogynistic, tiny-minded ,male only football related nonsense, how about the new Bernocchi Cup  'camicia da donna' for the U S Legnanese cycling team...

    This is terrible. Over an hour since posting and not one reference to a bike. P&B isn't what it used to be.

    Luzern winning a game in Europe is a huge surprise. Their European escapades are the Swiss version of "Hibsing it". Should have hammered The Faroese last night, in fairness to them, but it really wouldn't be a surprise to anyone in Switzerland if they conspired to go out over there.

    Absolute nonsense. Luzern are well known as a top notch European team and that it takes something very special to knock them out...
