That was a loan offer of £1.5m
Indeed it was. The joy of transfer deadline day viewing while in the office - you only read half the story!
That was a loan offer of £1.5m
"This well-rounded, ball-playing defender has excellent physical stats and good composure, determination and tackling. Valued at £4m at the game’s outset, he can be prised from Celtic for around £5m and has the potential to be a very good Premier League defender. In my game, he moved to Monaco for £9.5m after one further season at Celtic and averaged 7.12 across five seasons for a very healthy career. His rumoured move to Southampton could be a very good deal for the Saints.
$#@! OFF.
JUST $#@! OFF.
UEFA are currently investigating.
I wouldn't have minded Moore down here.
BBC are doing the fucking same.
"Physically strong and good in the air, this limited defender is not exactly a marquee signing and is rated by FM as being no more than a good Championship level player with little scope for improvement. He’s valued at just over £1m and can be bought from Nantes for little over that. In my longest save, he never leaves the French club and never averages over 7.00 in a season, suggesting that Chelsea’s mooted purchase is a little panicky."
What a load of steaming excrement that is.
Papy Djilobodji to Chelsea from Nantes for £4m is done.
There is one great story. It involves Middlesbrough and a left winger called Carlos de Pena. He is a busy little player. On Saturday it looked like this deal was on so he was taken out of Nacional's squad. On Sunday, the deal had collapsed. All over. On Monday, the club get a call from his agent saying he is on his way to England but the club said no. The player drove off and promptly got himself in a car accident with him and his mother in the car. Nothing serious as he is allowed out of hospital pretty soon after and he leaves his mum there, goes back to the airport and without Nacional's permission flies to Middlesbrough. I can't remember anyone being so desperate to get to Middlesbrough since Chris Rea was driving home for Christmas.
