Deeboy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It's good to see Arsenal's near £30m bid for Lacazette turned down. Hopefully they don't go back in as he'd seriously move them forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they don't go back in as he'd seriously move them forwards. They made the bid a month ago. The Lyon chairman says he never contacted them again which is a sign of refusal, imagine Wengers still sitting by the phone waiting for a reply though, despite the fact West Ham had a larger amount rejected a couple of weeks after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Ah, I never knew that. It just popped up on my BBC app notifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Moyes'll be fine. Sunderland'll be fine. It'll be mid table security then looking upwards hoping to qualify for the Europa League so that they can moan about qualifying for it soon enough.

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 How are they getting a work permit for him when he's not played for the National team yet? Is this an "exceptional circumstances" fudge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Did anyone watch the Man Utd-Everton game? From the bit of live text I saw on the BBC it sounded incredibly shite even for a testimonial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Watching testimonials of a team you support is bad enough. I'd rather gouge my eyes out than watch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 He doesn't have any other nationality, according to Transfermarkt. I assume he'll be in on the basis that some players, judged to be of exceptional quality, don't have to meet the other requirements. Rule was highly publicised the second time Middlesbrough signed Juninho, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the exact rules but I think the player has to play a certain percentage of all international games in the last X years. I.e, having just one cap isn't necessarily enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Bit more info here...http://www.danielgeey.com/the-foreigner-debate-the-fas-new-work-permit-regulations-explained/Sounds like he wouldn't qualify via his international record but would on the basis of his transfer fee, his wages, playing in more than 30% of his club's matches (assuming that Brazil is classed as a "top league"), and by virtue of having played in the Copa Libertadores.

jagfox Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Paddy Power are doing a bet offer on the Premier League top scorer market where if you bet £25 (or £12.50 ew) you get a £2 free bet for each goal scored. I'm just wondering who would be your top three this season and maybe a dark horse? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I've only put a small non-qualifying wager on Musa at Leicester. I think he'll be good for 10-15 goals this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
