Would have been the stuff of dreams: Nilsson at RB and Jarni at LB. Europe could have been ours!!! Especially with Jean Guy Wallemme at CB.

Do mean overrated at the time he ‘signed’ for us, or in general? As if we’re talking generally, I’d have to disagree. He did seem somewhat over the hill at the ‘98 World Cup, though; I recall watching at least 2 games he featured in (at least I think I do, it was 26 years ago) - he had nowhere...

Not a chance, thankfully. 🤣 He’s like Makelele lite at the minute.

Well, considering there were several players on that ‘leaked whiteboard’ image, it’s clear that they have faith in their ability to acquire good and unknown players and cultivate them into even better players - then sell them off for a relatively modest fee, a few at a time. Makes sense if...

Could you imagine that, after this last few weeks…I’d crap myself with relief, literally. I keep saying it, but Stamenic is an amazing player, and if we’re still in the running (or if the whole Forest/Olympiakos thing has been a smokescreen) then that’s a real show of intent from MR. It’s...

Still say he’ll end up at Stoke. Somehow.

Ah right, thanks. 👍🏻

*you missed the point of the pun

When is his contract officially up? Sorry, I don’t fancy wading through umpteen pages to find out.

To me, it just felt like a PR exercise in touting their player, when Red Star ‘confirmed’ Stamenic was coming to us. Hence why other offers suddenly came in and trumped ours.

No apologies required, mate. I was just clarifying that some instances of people switching from English to Welsh in front of predominantly English speakers, can be a cultural thing or a dialectic thing. 👍🏻 However, yes, sometimes it is intentional and ignorant. Luckily I know enough basic Welsh...

As for ‘bedwetting’, no, me neither. It’s irked me a lot, just on the fact he’s clearly a very, very good footballer, and would have been a brilliant addition to the team, yet he’s potentially chosen some vague PL ‘prestige’ with Forest over a promotion push with us. Irritating, to say the least.

I’ll be honest, viewing his highlights reels again, and other sources of his performances last season (and if he has indeed opted to go to Forest), we’ve missed out on a real talent, here. This lad is the real deal, and will go to the top, if his development isn’t stunted in any way.

So we had him, then it didn’t seem likely, then suddenly Forest nabbed him and wanted him out on loan to Olympiakos, then we had him again and pipped them, and now he’s in Greece finalising a loan move… …bet he ends up at Stoke, after all this horse shit.

Just waiting for someone to pipe up with a Hamer/Greece/Kebab quip…

Certain things that are beyond my actual sphere of control, yes. Other than that, my head is like an internet browser with 25 tabs open - 20 have crashed, 4 are loading constantly, and there’s music playing from somewhere. (ADHD is most certainly not a superpower 🤣)

I’ll just set my brain to disappointed and ‘He’s off to Forest’ so that IF he has signed for us, it’ll be great. 👍🏻

In all fairness, to Stamenic, he’s a very, very good player. Unfortunately, the lure of the PL and its riches are too great. Especially with a club and agent touting such talent like a disingenuous pimp.

Well, well, well. If true, 100% expected, personally. In fact, I tried to convey this possibility, earlier in the thread. If we were even interested in the first place, who knows. The club didn’t confirm any interest? Maybe this was a tactic by his club to drum up business with a premier...

I would imagine a retreating army, employing Scorched Earth tactics, would indeed make any scenery a tad smokey. 🤣 I didn’t read the synopsis for the film, yet when I saw the introduction and context, I was half hoping the film was about Simo Hayha the legendary Finnish sniper. But the lead...
