Yes, wasn't making a comparison to his nationality, more his blond hair and plays centre back. As @BS4 on Tour...states, that as a mahoosive Liverpool fan I can be expected to know the nationality of one of the finest centre backs I've seen okay for the Reds. I know that he played for MyPa (with is not a LJ/GJ reference) and our very own Willem II (or Villum Two to quote Jaap Stam) before moving to Liverpool.

Davefevs Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 The only reason he's not been announced is not only have the club shop not got this season's letters and numbers, they most definitely haven't got an ö or a ú. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCulturalBomb Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm concerned whenever were rumoured with a player and it's going well we get outbidded and rejected.

Someone piss on your chips or something? I don't think asking that rumour threads actually stay about the rumour rather than jokes about teeth because someone from Iceland is a dentist is asking particularly much. And it seems I'm not alone in that sentiment either. As said before there's a thread specifically for jokes in non football chat, so if your urges to make a crap pun are really that strong, go an post it in there, then the people who want to read it will, and the people who just want to look at the rumour don't have to put up with it. I wasn't trying to dictate where anyone posts or what they post, but one of the top reasons that people asked for a seperate transfer sub forum was so they didn't have to read the jokes, nor the posts complaining about the jokes. Not really sure what your issue with me liking the post that asks for the title to be corrected to his actual name either? This will be the last I say on the matter (I hope). Although it seems like you'd much rather have a dig at me in your posts more than anything else at the moment, when all I did was ask for threads to stay on topic. So, Magnusson if it happens, will I think be a very good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Think we might have 2 or 3 lined up this week. Just been having a good natter and got a different perspective. If this guy is true then maybe we've been holding this one up so other clubs weren't aware we were about to splash £/€3m on a player, and would've bumped their fees up thinking we've got loads to spend. Would make sense. We'll see, I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A random tweet one evening that gathered so much pace that the club had to announce it. Laugh. The club will only announce things when everything is in place. Think the club have learned their lesson following Metab returning to play a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brizzlelou Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 8 hours ago, City169 said: Just annoys me, part of the reason I voted for a seperate transfer forum was so we didn't have one thread of rumour which would have 10 pages of puns added each day making it impossible to keep track of what was going on, and by memory there were a fair few who agreed with that. It's not like there isn't a joke thread for them in non football chat or anything. 7 hours ago, Luxo Jr. said: Fair enough. I like that they're there, otherwise it stifles the fun of the forum. I think important developments in a story should be able to be highlighted by mods, that way we can keep the fun but people looking for answers can find the news. 7 hours ago, City169 said: I don't mind jokes being made when relevant and on topic, the game of thrones reference stuff fine, just a joke or two, but when it's dentist jokes, teeth puns which are totally irrelevant it's just annoying. 7 hours ago, Luxo Jr. said: Well the question of what's relevant is a whoooooooole other debate. Since the Iceland coach is a part time dentist, you can't say it's that much more irrelevant than a TV character that his name sounds like. But for the most part I agree with you, I don't want an argument. Can you have this conversation over private messenger please?
