That is terrible, lazy, journalism.
Two minutes on NSC woud have left him 100% better informed, and there are not many subjects you can say THAT about.

I guess that this is something very new, buying a player and then hoping he turns out to be good enough a year or two later to obtain a work permit. Do any other clubs have this model for spending millions (and yes I do appreciate that we will probably make good money whether he plays for us or not) and then loaning out to a foreign club because they can’t play in England?

Maybe one of our resident national sports journalists could have a word with the author of the article :wink:

Newmarket.
This painful line is like something from Brass Eye.

"the boy who got his wings in the city of angels, but is not yet ready to fly with the Seagulls."

Terrible article.

Mentions over and over again we deem him not good enough and doesn’t once mention we can’t pick him because he hasn’t got a work permit.

Exactly. How lazy is this :


He is not yet ready to play a minute for the team that finished 17th in the Premier League last season, but already he is good enough to pull on the colours of one of the most storied of all international teams.

Before starting the day I'm having a quick trawl around the 'others'.
Jocko is adding to his value starting and getting the assist from the corner, before being replaced by Tevez:-

Talk Sports S American football reporter says that he will never play for us and will be sold in the summer to either a top team in Spain or Italy and he will be the sensation of either the next or following World Cup, taking over from Messi. I wonder what price he would go for? Apparently he is much too good for us even now.

I read that post doing down the Albion as if it was written rather gleefully.

Good luck to him playing poker with Bloom

If talk sport believes we have no say on the matter, that’s good enough for me.
We should Just release him now.
The last thing We want is players on our books that are too good for us.

Let him fly.


Could it be that they see it as us making perhaps 3 or 4 times what we paid for him so a very good business deal. If that is the case perhaps it will replace some of the money we wasted on 3 players and enable us to be competitive in the transfer market for a hold up striker.

“They” have zero say
