Ridiculous and laughable

Post by eltorrro »

We might as well put in a bid of 1m pound for Messi or Ronaldo. Don't know whether this is stupid media talk or stupid Pompey talk...but whatever, it is stupid and really annoys the hell out of me when I see reports like this. 8)

You cant blame clubs who are struggling financially talking their players value up, what worries me is on the one hand we want the best we can get the trouble is inevitably the bigger clubs are fishing in the same pond.
Laughter is the jam on the toast of life. It adds flavor, keeps it from being too dry, and makes it easier to swallow.

Which bit do you find ridiculous?? them saying he is worth £1m or that we bid £200k
the selling club are always going to say their players are worth more, and the buyers are always going to start low, thats the way buying and selling always works

Well, all of it really...

Gills have previously turned down a £1m (so Pompey 'make an offer of £200k' ???)
Both Rangers and Celtic are/have been interested
Championship sides Hull, Posh, Brentford, etc are interested

So, he would come to Pompey because.....?????

That's what I find ridiculous and laughable...it's probably just paper talk to sell more papers, totally un-newsworthy and a waste of time looking at it. 8)

My mate has a contact who is a Gillingham fan and like the Australian player we asked for a lowdown on this lad " He’s a young centre back who came up through the youth team and has been a regular in the first team for two years. He went backwards last season when his partner Max Elmer went to the Gas but we have just re-signed Elmer. He is a mate of Sean Raggett who is also from Gillingham. I think Scally will sell as that’s what he does but he wants a bidding war to drive the price up. " Mate of Raggett might be a decider perhaps ??
