It's the bigging up of a player (acquaintance or not) of your employers biggest rival. When the moment in question is an embarrassing for one of your work colleagues. That's the bit I don't get. If twitter had been around in the day I wonder what would have happened if a youth player had tweeted a like on a picture of big Nige Pearson getting megged. Truth is...it wouldn't have happened. Still. Kids these days. They're obsessed with megs. Facebook is full of videos with 500,000 views of a megging. I think some of them would rather be remembered as a legendary megging GIF than actually win a league title these days. Celebrities. Blah blah. By Christ. 2 hours sleep I must have had in the last 24. Time to turn in. Everything about football is doing me in at the moment. Agree about your comment regarding football doing you in. Listening to the radio the other day they were talking about Messi possibly being paid a million a week. What really got me was those talking about didn't think that was unreasonable.

Ah but he scored a big goal for Ingerland. so he is officially a global megastar. We should give him a Bentley and stick another £25k per week on the offer isfwe want to keep such an established star like him. Just remind me though, who laid on the goal for him in the final and who was the player of the tournament? Oh yes, some kid called Brooks.....

AgileBeastt Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Brendan Rodgers said Sterling was still on £2k a week when playing regularly for Liverpool in the prem. I don't know what money his agent was asking for but i bet it was alot more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzybmzoo Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) The annoying this is is that this kid will likely become a superstar in the near future and we have managed to f*ck up what could potentially be a great asset for us. True, our strikers haven't really been the problem of late but get him on the bench or play him in the cup games, loan him out, anything but get him playing. No excuses for being a numpty here but he's a young lad who's obviously got a a lot of talent and has clearly shown a lack of judgement. It's gonna be very hard to see him banging in goals for however gets him next. Edited September 25, 2017 by Jazzybmzoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 George bang out of order, has the brains of a rocking horse if he is going to post tweets such as he did publicly in such circumstances. Re his situation and Brooks, who is 2 years older. Brooks was destined to go on loan to Chesterfield this season but did well for England. George would probably have gone on loan, maybe to a League One club had he signed a contract. So Wednesday and United had set out similar pathways for these youngsters, with George ahead of Brooks in that a loan was possibly going to happen at an earlier age! I would be interested to know what contracts both were on last season, but I suspect George would have been on equal money if not more. As I see it it's not a question of his development as such, he wants more cash and unfortunately we can't compete with PL clubs. Can't altogether blame him but his actions have certainly accelerated his departure IMO, but maybe that was his intention, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 In all honesty I'm getting bored of hearing about George Hirst. He's clearly not going to sign a new deal so get what we can for him in January, insert a decent sell on clause and get rid. If his name was George Smith there wouldn't be half the fuss over him and regardless of how good his dad was, there are no guarantees that he'll go on to be any good. From what I've heard the club have made him a generous offer and if he doesn't want to take it then you can't go breaking the bank for a youngster unproven at first team level.

room0035 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 On a day when our striking options on the bench was an £8m striker who cant score, a guy who has been on loan and days at the club are numbered because our manager won't play him and the other is a striker who has not scored a league goal in over 18 months (23rd Feb 2016) we have a young hungry striker that at every level including youth international has scored a lot of goals. But for some reason our manager does not rate him, but our managers record with youth is none existent. In 2 seasons and this so far no youth players have broken into our squad and become first team regulars. Since Carlos has been here Wildsmith has made 11 appearance mainly in the cup, Hirst 1 appearance, Lavery 2 appearances, Stobbs 1 sub appearance, Dawson 4 appearances, O'Grady 1 appearance. So in over 2 season just 20 appearance by the future of our club. Good luck George on your move to Leicester or Everton and in a few years when you are a full England international and banging in 20+ goals a season we can look back at another young talent we lost out on because we have such a blinked manager that only plays older past it players.

Hooper has scored in 5 in 5 so we must be creating something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
