L’Equipe reporting they bid €20m for him with a deadline, we didn’t accept/refuse before said deadline passed so they withdrew the offer but then “came back to the table” late last night. Meanwhile poor Aubameyang is waiting with his cases back in Düsseldorf.

Will laugh hard if Giroud goes to Chelsea on the cheap but then Dortmund pass on Batshuayi leaving us dry with no Aubameyang imo

The media are saying they are looking at other options such as Llorente so if they make an offer and we turn it down then they are kind of right to move on. I read we were asking 35m for Giroud which if you think was in the same week that we ‘only’ offered 50m for Aubameyang then you have to think we’re making it up as we go along.

Funny really how you have 31 days to sort these things out and then there is always a mad dash going on with some clubs/players in the last 24-48 hours

**** knows what’s going on with Chelsea. They’ve gone from Carroll to Dzeko to Giroud to Llorente. Quite a leap in quality between a few of those.

This sounds like a pretty complex deal, affecting the lives of many people. It also requires 3 medicals, 3 sets of contracts, 3 sets of agents. I don't remember too many like this in the past.

Perhaps you could help out in the deal making department?

I'd suggest that we are the only club that can turn a transfer into an episode of Dallas but I'm sure that isn't true?

Can you name a club that hasn't had any long-running/ill-working transfer sagas in recent years? United with Herrara (fake agents turning up on last day of transfer window taking a year to buy him?). Liverpool taking 6 months to buy VVD having been fined for tapping him up. Even City don't always get it there own way (pretty much flaunting themselves in front of Sanchez and seeing him go to their greatest rivals).

Well yes of course but then Twitter is not the hot bed of footballing debate and all round common sense that this place is.

You have to completely understand their stance in wanting a replacement. None of these deals are easy all the same, just look at Laporte to City where transfer clauses have been met yet 3-4 days later the deal is not officially done.

Your nationality is where you are born, simple enough. You can choose to follow your family heritage etc and look upon yourself as otherwise but if you are born in England for example you are English.

Now, I was born in England.

I did won of those DNA profiley, ancestory things

Turns out I'm mainly of Lithuanian, German and Polish stock.

From the ancestory side of things I can't find any Johnny Foreigners in my bloodline apart from one German woman who came across to England in the 1920's. The European gene game is strong, imo.

An interesting double standard operates here, though. If a white person of English extraction grows up and spends their entire life in say China, Japan or India, we would almost never be happy to call them Chinese, Japanese or Indian, would we? And neither, I suspect would the locals.

So to an extent, one's nationality depends also on the extent to which the people of your host nation are prepared to accept you as being of their nationality.

An interesting double standard operates here, though. If a white person of English extraction grows up and spends their entire life in say China, Japan or India, we would almost never be happy to call them Chinese, Japanese or Indian, would we? And neither, I suspect would the locals.

So to an extent, one's nationality depends also on the extent to which the people of your host nation are prepared to accept you as being of their nationality.

On the other hand, that absolute pile of shít John Barnes always claimed to be more proud of being 'Jamaican' than of playing for England.

Rude, ungrateful ****.

His performances for England were certainly nothing to be proud of. The scouse cùnt.

I don't really understand why one would be proud of being Jamaican, tbh. I mean, Bob Marley and some cricketers aside, what have they done to be proud of?

I'm not sure they really get the credit for that, tbh. After all, it wasn't really their idea, was it?

I quite like Jamaican Ginger Cake, though. And I used to like the ginger beer when I was a kid.

Also, Old Jamaica Rum n Raisin chocolate was good. Other than that, they're just a bit violent and boring, aren't they?

That was it. Very funny. Silly old fücker. I think Irons had a similar issue, though.

As you may have noticed, I like to credit the people that do the actual work rather than the owners of the capital. Or in this case, the owners of the labour itself. :-\

They invented this, though. Best hangover-relief food available in a can imo.

Sorry, but all the investment, intellectual capital and financial risk belonged to whitey. The black lads just turned up and did as they were told.

We had a discussion of Nourishment a while ago. I was mystified by it because I thought of it as a drink for black people and had never had it - like Supermalt.

I used to purchase Jamaican Patties from a shop beside Finsbury Park tube station, post George Robey when eating was viable.

Damned fine.

This is a good point, sw. Jamaican patties are good.

So - apart from Bob Marley, some cricketers, Ginger Cake, Ginger Beer, Rum & Raisin Chocolate, being made to make loads of sugar and Jamaican patties - what is there to be proud of about being Jamaican?

Oh, and Usain Bolt, I suppose.

Absolutely not. I'm not really sure Bob Marley's actually that good, so Althea and Donna can fück right off.
