If you could get the club to give us a clue who they are really after this thread could die a death.

"Long-time target Darwin Nunez remains of interest but Benfica are keen to keep hold of the Uruguayan while they remain in the Champions League (their play-off with PSV Eindhoven to decide who qualifies for the group stage concludes on August 24 — a week before the window closes)."

I remember the hype when he signed for Arsenal, didn’t realise just how much he actually was like George Best…off the pitch

Peter Marinello was the footballing sensation of 1970. His record £100,000 transfer from Hibs to Arsenal made front page headlines and he was instantly hailed as the new George Best. Within weeks, he had appeared on Top of the Pops, secured a modelling contract and had his own football column in the Daily Express. But drinking and reckless behaviour were already a part of his life. In three years at Arsenal, Marinello played only 51 games and was eventually transferred to Portsmouth. More drinking, involvement with gangsters, his wife running off with a DJ, swindled out of all his money, bankruptcy, being arrested for attempted murder, having to buy heroin for his addicted son... From the highs, Peter Marinello's life plummeted to terrible lows until he pulled his life back round. It is an extraordinary story.

And also similar to Best he has recently stated that he wouldnt have changed any of it.

You also left the bit out where he lost his virginity to a prostitute his team mates had bought for him, 20 of whom then sat round the bed watching on while he popped his cherry.

Graham Potter said this today - about no transfer in particular - at this pre match press conference

"You feel for the supporters a little bit because they’re reading things and they’re thinking it’s going to happen when it isn’t, or somebody is linked with a player and they never have been. It’s a little bit unfair on them."

THIS is how threads should be de railed
Not squabbling over nothing
anecdotes of different people s memory s
Some cracking info on Marinelli
Not sussed how to do multiple quotes yet so cap doffed also to icy and the other OPs as well
Or even Cadiz's one doh

Thank you, if ever a thread needed derailing it’s this one

So much bollocks from people who know less than Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, except Chailey who only deals in factual stuff of course

Like this?

Edit: Wow. I've been trying to suss this out for ages and have even received explanations from other posters, which were much more complex than this. Now let's see if it's embedded in my failing memory.

Wow, thanks...... for years, when I did it, I hit reply with quote on one post, copied contents to clipboard, came out went it second and pasted with second..... this is great

We're not going to buy Odouard, not overly keen on him anyway...... and balls to Odsonne, we dont need him now we have multi quote.

The highlight of the transfer window so far.

You all just wait until you select multi-quotes, then change your mind about posting. And then the next day you post something on a completely different thread, and all the multi-quotes you had selected end up in that post/thread causing absolute chaos......

Ooohhh thank you [MENTION=17447]Bakero[/MENTION] I like it

This is now a proper thread derail

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Well this thread has taken a turn for the better. Much better than groundless ruminations about Edouard.
