YassinMoutaouakil Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Dundee fans being reasonable/sensible. Tam Cowan lookalike being a numpty. Who'd have thunk it.Good to see Granny lasted almost half an hour before bringing up bizarre personal details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Ryan Gauld however remains the best prospect for me by far. He dropped off badly after being used too much last season, but he has the talent to go all the way in the game. Looks like Sporting Lisbon agrees with me Odd to be losing a player who isn't even a guaranteed starter yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Or they've believed the media hype. A club like Sporting Lisbon spend millions on hype? Get a grip of thyself!!! Having watched Gauld week in week out, it was abundantly obvious that he was destined for a big move. Robertson, Armstrong and GMS are players, no doubt, but none has the potential of Gauld. Absolutly gutted to see the wee man go. He'll be sold on for 8 figures soon enough, I have no doubt. Best have a BIG sell on clause in there United.

Waffelz Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 How much are Porto going to offer for Robertson? £7.5m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Waldo Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hope goes and learns like Mo Jo did in France. Love a strong Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The guy clearly has a lot of talent if he's on the verge of joining a relatively big European club. They obviously feel he has great things ahead of him. Sporting Lisbon signed Rabiu Ibrahim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I've done a quick calculation and reckon the United squad is worth £90m - £95m. That's not including the mascot whose likely to go to an Italian side for about €1.8m. You heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Or they've believed the media hype. A few months back, I was having a conversation with a the rangers fan about how Celtic now find themselves in the position of being a selling club. He hit out with a statement about how we only received such amounts for Wanyama, McGeady, Ki, etc etc, thanks to the Scottish media, or "mhedia" as he referred them too, over hyping these players. Idiocy such as that is somewhat expected from a the rangers fan, what's your excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It would help if that was even remotely similar to what I said,but keep trying to work the OF into every conversation, it seems to be going well. That aside, you did strongly imply that Sporting Lisbon was heavily influenced by media hype. That was a stupid statement and had you admitted so this would not have gone on. It's not too late you know, admit it was daft and feel the loving caress (metaphorically) of your fellow P&Brs. We're only to willing to forgive a sinner.

You believe media hype could be a factor in Gaulds proposed moved to Sporting, he believed media hype was a factor in Wanyama/McGeady/Ki's tranfers........hardly chalk and cheese here pal.

I merely pointed out that just because Sporting Lisbon are in for him doesn't vindicate your argument that he's not overhyped. Then Keeper/Weeper/Sweeper Dee started rambling on about me fancying myself as a Sporting Lisbon scout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have already said, if you claim that a club bases the values of a transfer bid from what they read in the media, well, the comment is laughable.
