Martin Zubimendi

[FreshRed]

I think seeing the compilation from this guy, I have to agree with @StevieM that we should keep Endo.
Towards the latter end of the game, getting a destroyer on to kill the game is a good option.
CJ is a no show for at least a 1/3 of games and we are likely to see injuries in other parts of the squad. I really can't see us singing more than more one player.

I agree we should keep Endo - I doubt his wages are very high and he is good at progressing the ball, although sometimes susceptible to a good press.

If we wanted to generate funds, I would consider selling CJ. He has his really good moments, but is too inconsistent, especially with his decision making. I think his value would be pretty impressive in current environment - close to Zubimendi with the English premium.

I'm not reading another word about this Lucas-regen until he's signed a Liverpool contract.

 

[rurikbird]

If anything killed the buzz it was all the nerdy excel bollocks.

I think the spreadsheet discussion is rather appropriate, considering Zubimendi is the Microsoft Excel of footballers.

 

[Modo]

The whole thing is too public now.
Not gonna happen.
Also, it's raining and I'm cold and hungry.
Fuck this camp.

 

[Judge Jules]

Guess you didn't read above that he's already given thumbs up to the move then?

I did, Froggy, but then I read that we're still "pushing very hard" to get him to sign, from which I assume that doing so is still necessary.

Has he given the thumbs up? Unless Froggy knows him personally, he knows as much as us mere mortals.

it’s clearly time to start the human sacrifices

I nominate Dantes

 

[Hansern]

This is the best update yet. Not difficult being a journo these days….

@MatteMoretto
: There are times when it seems as if Zubimendi is closer to deciding to leave, and there are times when he is closer to staying.

Might be too late, i think @rubans and @MomoWASright have already killed him

Translation: He’s fighting with the missus whether to up sticks or not.

I’m bored now. I’m going to retire for the evening. I’ve got some spicy chicken, massive selection of IPAs and Call of Duty on the Xbox. Hopefully it’s still lunchtime somewhere and he’s announced later today so Brizz was right.

 

[Brizzle]

Local time in CA (where shareholder Lebron James lives) is 1:07pm aka lunch time.

We’re still on track

It’s timing which makes great comedy.

Meanwhile at Chelsea...

new transfer....new transfer...new transfer....

 

[Modo]

We on the other hand:

One year left? Keep.
One year left? Keep.
6th choice defender. Keep.
Over the hill. Keep.

 

[The Nomad]

He's playing now.

 

[Frogfish]

Has he given the thumbs up? Unless Froggy knows him personally, he knows as much as us mere mortals.

We know fuck all however these two quotes seem to indicare he's agreed to the move (yes I know you don't believe anything FP says but as Hansen said - he was first to break Xabi was staying).
And as I'm desperate for class reinforcements I choose to believe them - especially Recalde.

He’s generally awful, but got the Xabi News spot on so its probable that he has some good connections to the agency representing Xabi/Zubimendi

Mikel Recalde is the best journalist for Real Sociedad news. The club’s supporters trust and believe him a lot.
“There is not much new. The main news is that the player has been included in the squad for the last friendly that Real will play in Berlin before the start of the season,” the journalist told DaveOCKOP.
“The ball is in Martín’s court, who is going to decide his future.
“There was a lot of pessimism at the club yesterday when the news broke. In the last few hours, some hope has been regained, but it is difficult for Real. Liverpool has come a long way during these last two weeks in conversations with Martín and his people.
“Me? My opinion is he IS going to leave.”
“This is more opinion than information, my feeling, unfortunately, is that Martín is closer to leaving than staying in Real, even though he still has a lot of doubts. It’d be a big surprise if he stayed at home.”

That sounds very non commital as a tweet, he could just tweeted nothing.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I don’t think this happening now so no doubt the signing will be revealed by the end of the day.

 

[StevieM]

I’ve never had a white Shiraz before. I’m intrigued.

I tried it… and I can’t remember much about it, so it mustn’t have been that exciting.

I’ve tasted a few Shiraz Rose wines - they can be nice.

 

[StevieM]

I nominate Dantes

Human sacrifices Modo… Dantes isn’t human.

 

[StevieM]

There would be consequences… not least, one of you will have to give up your wardrobe and take possession of Captain Cash Out.

Not a fan of rose wine. Far too sweet.

 

[LarryHagman]

Fuck him off. He's not what we need and the cunt's a wet lettuce anyway. Wanker.

 

[MomoWASright]

I’ve lost my tent. Could be the 6% beers I’ve been knocking back. But I’m not feeling this transfer any more.

 

[LarryHagman]

Eugh, shall I stop here where there's a bit of sun, or shall I go there where I might get upset and stuff.

Fuck off you weed. Defensive midfielder? As if.
