Gus offered for £6 million ? (37 Viewers)

[rob9872]

They're not getting paid large sums as professional athletes though.

I think the fact he was crowned the best player in the league trumps that. He's also paid those large sums to play football, not beat Usain Bolt. Some people carry weight differently.

So?

Hardly holding him back at this level is it

 

[Speedie's Head]

Regardless of what they might still owe us we have already committed the money elsewhere - it's spent, gone, non-existent... We rebuilt the squad with the winnings.

Yeah some people are clearly quite bitter with the way he left still.

Im reading the Sheff U forum and despite them apparently thinking hes shit, they are disappointed if he does go.

I don't dispute it.
I just think the way he conducts himself doesn't fit in with what Lampard is trying to build.

If I'm wrong and we sign him then great, but I don't think we will.

If nothing else it will stop large sections of our support wanking over an opposition player when he takes a corner.

I'm not bitter.
I was there at Stoke away at the end of 21/22 when he told supporters he'd be staying for 22/23 and he stuck to his word. So I didn't really have an issue with how he left.

 

[ajsccfc]

I'm not sure we're interested unless Doug also holds a stake in Samoan Joes, but he's a fine player who managed the impressive feat of sometimes looking pretty good in a Sheffield United team that stunk up the top division so I wouldn't worry about how he'd fit into any future plans in that regard if the magic happens

It’s a fair point. Not sure he has Lampard levels of professionalism.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The irony of talentless fucks, most likely much more overweight than him that label him fat.

I don't think anybody on here is a professional footballer

 

[Hutch11]

It's very much like people call Frank fat
I wish I was as fat as him or as unfit as Gus

Also stop a section of our fanbase wanking over kebab jokes hopefully. So cringy

They make this place worthwhile.

Not a high bar but they are some of the funniest things on this forum.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Blunts stripes add a few extra pounds to Gus. Wilder playing on left hasn't helped him either. Would be a great addition for last 30mins of games in middle of park shooting early and taking free kicks. I dont think we will though as too expensive and probably destined for Europe.
Wrexham fans think they have a good chance of getting him due to Cov connections with Hyam, Doyle and Sheaf, but even they think hes been hitting the kebabs..

 

[Marty]

Lampard was not overweight during his career, FFS hahaha!

The evidence suggests otherwise.

 

[PaulPUSB]

Regardless of whether we think he eats too many kebabs.

Surley he would be subject to a medical. If he passes that, happy days, if hes on the fringe, staff can work with him

Both cases they would have to keep an eye on him to make sure hes not down Binley Mega Chippy every night, so maybe thats a headache they dont want.

Frank could be doing a Alex Fergusson and driving past his house to make sure his light is turned off by 9pm!

I’ve just seen him outside Binley Mega Chippy with the away shirt on and a videographer. Reckon it’s been done already.

I seen that too! He was with CoH with a boom box and a blue afro wig each.

If we let Wrexham sign Hamer than we are idiots

 

[JSL]

I thought Leeds have wanted him since the summer but no positive action from them

 

[zuni]

Chips are shit at binley mega chippy since deano and his brother left to open the chippy in cheylesmore....raging

 

[grahamparsons68]

Maradona was a bit "chunky"

 

[Grendel]

You really get to be on the top 10 PL scorers by being fat - he gets more absurd with his opinions every day

 

[Grendel]

Based on what?

The whole fee will already be accounted for - I doubt there is £6m anyway but even if there is its assumed as paid and part of the accounts

 

[shmmeee]

Right that’s why no one ever called him fat frank

Played in a very different era to be fair though.

People get weird about weight. You don’t see it with any other player of the season that people chip in with their opinion on how they should’ve even better.

Not even sure if you're being serious at this point.

He was also a much better player than Hamer. And played in a period when fitness, lifestyle and nutrition weren't a thing.

 

[Otis]

He looks the exact same weight as when he was at us to me.

Stripes make you look fatter.



Which is the exact same phrase I said to the missus the other night, before then having to sleep on the sofa for two days

 

[SBT]

Never seen one tweet from Give Me Sport put the entire forum on strings like this, absolutely wonderful, please don’t let it end.

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

If Lampard seriously struggled with his weight he would have ballooned when his career finished like Rooney
