£28m (BBC) for Lukaku seems a lot to me. Good player, but not great. Wouldn't have wanted him for that price.

They do seem to have said yes to everybody. Does make it feel like a club sale was planned, but it has been so spectacularly mismanaged that the board has had to react with this stance in an attempt to maintain credibility (or club value, or both). I'm dismayed by the current situation.

Funny

Total balls re shaw IMHO, the guy is fit as anything. This is van Gaal stamping his authority after jose's comments.

I don't get it

This is actually hilarious. I'd quite like us to not have a single player left from last season, just because it's so ridiculous. Who's idea was it to buy a home shirt with ??? On the back? Like that idea

An hour to write? Gonna be too long for me to bother with, can't you just do some bullet points? I'll help... - club is sh1t - told you club was sh1t, no one listens - knew about Calum - kat wants to sell - board have no friends Etc..

Goodbye Calum, now at least we can laugh at your eyebrows without feeling guilty.

Same

Yes, I guess it presents a dilemma, he is one we really could afford to drop to the reserves until he changed his mind, however if Koeman only wants players in the squad who want to be here, I guess letting him go for a good fee is understandable.

Really appreciate your updates - I'm more concerned with 'why' he is being sold - not rated? Troublemaker? Or offer viewed as too good to turn down?

My thoughts exactly

Oh noes! Poor Calum! He is leaving to escape the bummings

Not sure what you know, you wouldn't tell us

Mr. Alpine! Could it be that even you are bored of the bedwetting threads now that chambers has fooked off to arse? Welcome to the happy thread

Agree, disappointing.

Are you CB Fry? I thought you were Jeff?!

Think I agree.

It's quite entertaining to see forum members go postal one by one, it's like something suddenly snaps due to the information vacuum we are in. Personally I've transferred my obsession to the totty thread, it feels healthier.

Also I don't care what anyone says - Kim Catrall was HOT

This thread should be for all nostalgic hotties, not restricted to 60/70s! A fav of mine from the 90s - Winona Ryder.

That is not my understanding of how a spit-roast works...

Make sure the T shirts are striped, or there will be outrage

He's not clever, but at least he's honest

jane Seymour in live & let die Id still smash that now
