I doubt he would have added "FFS" if it was good.
In my mind getting Malcom but loaning him back is just not good enough business from the club if we want CL again next season. Mind you we could yet go on and win it!
So buying a player that won't play for us until next season is unlikely to help us this season? Good to know Michael Owen posts here

That in order to accommodate his shooting abilities, we have opted for other types of goalposts that are further apart for the new stadium."goalposts where moved..ffs" What on earth does that mean?

If they were used on the pitch Sissoko might have a better chance of scoring....um according to some.

Yeah but it could also be just cos they have moved and deal is delayed. It may be something trivial, who knows

There is more about this on the new stadium thread."goalposts where moved..ffs" What on earth does that mean?
They have mistakenly bolted the new goal posts on top of the south stand.
Don't worry - the guy with the big angle grinder has made them fit.

Easily a fixture in the top 5 in the country, challenged for the title the past two seasons, in the last 16 of the Champions League this season, several of Europe’s best players in our squad, yup sir I make you absolutely right! I guess you also remember the 90s as well as I do. We survived it together man!
Oh, wait...
More seriously, yes JJ’s news sucks but this is why we shouldn’t count our chickens until they hatch, it leads to frustration and disappointment. Best to just focus on what happens on the pitch, be glad that we receive information from time to time and let the rest unfold.

Its an opinion mate, hence the 'to me' part, I wasn't stating it as fact.
Besides, when has 'moving the goalposts' not been about financials?

This setback just adds even more pressure in the Summer Window, huge expectancy on the club to deliver now

We can’t complain too much. Our chairman has the reputation of being the most awkward negotiator in football. Ferguson thought twice about trying to sign Modric when he realised he would have to deal with Daniel again. He’d had enough after Berbatov. Didn’t we move the goalposts when we got Lloris.

True and I suppose if you don't buy a ticket etc etc.
They key is that whilst we are going for the unrealistic targets who will only come off 1 in 20 times, we need to also have more realistic backup targets, and I think that's where we sometimes fall down in our dealings.

Yes this is very true.
As I've just said above, I actually think the key is having sensible backup targets if our ambitious targets don't come off.
No problem with going for ambitious targets but we need to be aware that we will very often be blown out of the water by richer clubs, and it often feels like when that happens we don't have other options.
Exactly, you would think we are in the conference the way some moan on here.
