Joe Cole : "When I joined Liverpool they told me they were biggest club in England"

Not even the biggest club on Merseyside....

Mainly just the terminology they use following the headline such as KEVIN DOYLE TO BARCELONA

Our sources suggest Barcelona could sign Kevin Doyle before the window "slams shut".

Of course they COULD, just the same as they could sign my gran or my dog, but realistically it's not going to happen is it?

Rant over, I'm sorry people.

Thrashing out personal terms is one that keeps cropping up.

i hate it when they refer to someone as a bargain buy. Someone like gana gueye, £7m is a bargain buy. Bloody bargain!!!! that's probably more money than the whole of the forum could put together in life time savings.

Well if you exclude @roydo, he's minted

When clubs are "braced for a bid". I always picture the deck of the Starship Enterprise.
"They've offered £40m for Sigurdsson!"

"We cannae take it, Cap'n".

"Everton are set to sign Rooney but remain coy on their interest in Sigurdsson...."
Coy. Words like that are used. Also a player is described as having many "suitors" among the clubs.
It's still a man's game isn't it? Or a novel by Jane Austen?

Indeed! Coyness can stop you from saying all the things in life you'd like to.
