That's not even the most hilarious thing. Apparently Villa value him at £100m, so presumably West Ham are never going to dance again with those wild boys on that transfer.
And actually, it was all our fault because he wouldn't have bought them if they hadn't qualified for the Champions League. Which they did by beating us in the last game. I think Jesper Gronkjaer scored.
Plus also, Manchester United had been massive dick teases with the threat of relegation a few months back and some of us thought we were going to get lucky.
I think if I was the likes of Trent, Mo and Virgil (particularly Trent given who he is being linked to), I'd look at this inertia and see it as a sign that if I was to add to my trophy haul, it would be through luck rather than judgement. As people have said above, we're one of the biggest clubs in the world and acting with the absolute smallest club mentality.
Last game of the season can be a big procession of goodbyes for Mo, Trent, Virgil, Robbo, Kostas, Diaz, Doak, Ali, Kelleher, Endo, Harvey, Morton etc...
They're going to need a lot of frames.
I saw Katie Price's one once. Dane Bowers stuck his big toe up her foof and she had her pubes shaved in the shape of a heart. It was otherwise unremarkable.
Although to be fair, we did win the three games before that 6-3, 3-1, and 5-0.
The real concern for me is the amount of chances that we're shipping suddenly, and then on top of that, the amount of chances that we don't stop from going in the goal.
He's definitely got something up health wise. It would make no sense for us to sign a player of the quality of the Georgian fella, because nobody is displacing Ali at full strength.
Well that's the other thing, how much would we actually get for all of those outgoings that I listed? Maybe £100m? We're not replacing that lot for the money that we'd bring in. It's going to have to be a big spending summer.
What is really weird is that in terms of succession planning, we go into a summer potentially needing to replace 3 of our first choice back four and our leading scorer. It wouldn't be that surprising if we lost Trent, Mo, Virgil, Ali, Kelleher, Robbo, Tsimikas, Endo, Darwin and Diaz in the summer. That's a lot of bodies to replace.
