Summer transfer thread!

[gillie]

Mike this thread in entitled Summer Transfer thread that's why i put that in here.Apologies if i should have put elsewhere.

I think he meant by the reporter Gillie mate.

oops sorry my bad lol

[Socrates]

i don't even agree with his dinner v supper v tea definition either.

Look, Soccs...i'm sure your hungry hungry hippo self is having something to eat today. Just answer the goddam question and tell me what the fuck you are eating. Please.

cheers

You wouldn't. You speak a different language. What am I eating? Too much fucking salad but lots of bacon and of course some yummy seafood. Low carb high fat is my dirty secret.

[Socrates]

He loves cock. And hates vaginas.

You can't have a go at him for being a fudge packer. It makes you just as bad as him.

Fair point.

[Socrates]

Eh ?

He asked what us 'cunts' are having for dinner ? You are skipping from one thread to another using the 'card'.

It's ridiculous to go through different posts with a fine toothcomb looking for a way of finding someone guilty of not being 'pc' enough.

It's wrong & it devalues the seriousness of a genuine argument & is fodder for the real shithouses to use as an argument against a genuine complaint.

This is just 'bollocks' * see how easily it works when you are dealing at such a level ?

You are not doing any kind of cause a favour by using it to further your own argument.

Not trying to further a cause just making a point about how this place could be a little more tolerable for a few more people. Is too easy to whine about PC rather than address what is basically poor manners.

In the real world, 'tea' is the evening meal. If i said to my parents to come round for dinner they'd arrive at noon - but thats us working class for you.

Finally, someone speaking sense. Lunch and dinner are interchangeable, but both mean the thing you have around noon. Tea is what you have when you get home from work and supper is before you go to bed.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a cunt/cock/Fernando Torres - take your pick on which insult you prefer.

Definitely a northern thing. I have always called the meal at noon, dinner. At school it was called dinner time and my parents always called it dinner.

My wife is from somewhere in the middle of our country (not really bothered as its not northern) and she and her family call it lunch.

What would a yorkshireman call a noontime meal?

That question sounds like the beginning of a joke!

Answers are welcome. Can't think of witty pinch line as yet.

There's a couple of sheep mitherers on here, so we should find out soon enough.

Fox Soccer (sorry) here in U.S. said City are after Fred (hope not, at 29) and Bayern's Gomez (hope so,) That was when I was having my dinner. We had school dinners back in the day but they're what southerners, rich folk, and Americans call lunch. No further reports of this deal as I'm having my tea, which used to mean sausage, egg, & chips etc. around 5 - 6 of an evening but which makes people outside t'north of England think of cakes and little china cups with fancy handles ("high tea") in mid-afternoon.

With a reported 1.7m release clause, why not fred as a squad rotation player?

[Saul Goodman]

anyone fancy a bid for Luis Gustavo? He looks like a solid holding mid for Brasil and with Javi Martinez coming in at Bayern he's been regulated to the bench. He's only 25 while Barry is 32. Of course, if Pellegrini plays Yaya and Fernandinho in the two deep midfield roles then never mind. But if he's looking for a legit DFM (which Yaya and Fernandinho both arent) Luis Gustavo might be worth a look in...

Or I could just be crazy.

Hughes looks to English Man City duo

Mark Hughes could be set to raid his former club Manchester City for English duo Gareth Barry and Joleon Lescott.

Manchester City, who have also have a new manager in Manuel Pellegrini during this summer are looking to narrow down their sizeable squad and Lescott and Barry are rumoured to be surplus to requirements at the Ethihad.

New Stoke manager Hughes has been alerted to these developments and could be set to swoop for the pair to help boost his current squad in the Potteries.

Both Lescott, 30, and Barry, 32, were transferred to Manchester by Hughes in his reign as manager for a combined £34 transfer fee in 2009.

Barry is entering the final year of his contract and would be available for considerably less than the £12 million Man City paid for him from Aston Villa.

Lescott, who is also entering the final year of his contract has failed to secure a regular spot in the Citizen`s starting line up for some time, and with Pellegrini looking to add to his backline with a rumoured impending bid for Real Madrid`s Pepe, the former Wolves and Everton man will also be available for considerably less than the £22 million he was purchased for from Everton.

Several offer teams are keeping an eye on the developments at last year`s league runners up and will be ready to pounce if the opportunity arises.

No.

Agreed on that one a million percent. He looks like a dishwalla also. Dodgy.

Oh dear?

I'd actually be quite happy if Hughes came and bought them both. Probably the only two players we really could do with shifting this summer.
