You ever seen him play?

This is the man who thinks Hwang plays on the wing.

Che Adams close to signing with.......Torino

Nope.

Instead of posting laughing smilies maybe you should give us the benefit of your knowledge. You know, engaging instead of trying to mock.

How can you have an opinion on a player without seeing him play?

That's batshit

The suspense is killing me. Thought the never ending Mbappe to Madrid stuff was box office but it's not topping this

£50,001?

£50,001?

You joke, but there was a case a few years ago where someone "accidentally" told a prospective buying club about a contractual minimum fee for £40M. That club (which I'm pretty sure was Arsenal) then bid £40,000,001, thus triggering the clause.

EDIT: Found it. It was Luis Suarez.

You joke, but there was a case a few years ago where someone "accidentally" told a prospective buying club about a contractual minimum fee for, IIRC, £10M. That club (which I'm pretty sure was Arsenal) then bid £10,000,001, thus triggering the clause.

It was Suarez at Liverpool and Arsenal bid £1 above. Bid was £40,000,001 but pretty sure the clause didn't exist, just something made up in the press

There was a clause but it was a complete waste of paper and ink. Basically if someone bid that much then they had to tell Suarez. Not accept it, just tell him. I think he'd have known anyway.

Well that's annoying. Torino at the Italian side I have followed since the 90s when we had the boom!

Aren’t Torino the side that Charles Ross is weirdly obsessed about?

Reminds me of when Ian Holloway accidentally let slip to us that Ebanks-Blake had a release clause of around £6-7m (I think) at Plymouth. Which we then went and paid to get him.

£1.5M

Cheers. Mad that he was so cheap.

That's Roma, the oddball

The raised by Wolves stuff behind that?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I try not to delve into the mind of Charles Ross where possible. You can ask him if you like but be prepared for a complete non-sequitur of a response.

 

[Kenny]

You can ask him if you like

That has something to do with World Cup 1990, Torino were the first team to try and Buy Bully from us.

Not sure if Scilachi also played at Torino. At the time there was a massive comparison between Toto Scilachi, And a certain Stephen George Bull
