You'd bang into it.

 

Be easier to book a holiday and let the plane take you there, via the sky.

 

They never seem to reach it, you can always see it above you (unless you are in certain military planes I believe)

 

Nah, you seem to be getting mixed up, the stratosphere is above the sky, passenger airplanes fly below it.


I think!

 

They can accept/reject any bid they want. Once they accept a bid it isn't a case of matching it, the second team have to see their bid accepted too.

 

I think you should test that theory by standing on the ledge of a very tall building and just take off. You've got our backing.

 

You miss the point - if they accept a bid from one club, they must have reason to deny an identical bid from another. They do though, as you say, have every right to reject all offers.

 

Perhaps I'm missing the point too.
If they got two identical bids, they can just choose whichever they like, surely? They don't have to explain themselves.

 

Well there are lots of layers of "sky" before you hit outer space...

 

No, they're atmosphere.

Sky just won't stop humiliating themselves will they!

A source has told them next bid is 101m upfront 37m add ons.

 

It won't go away until September.

 

Barca: Accept by 7pm Sunday or we'll walk away....

Lfc : no reply

2 days later....

barca: hey remember when we said we'll walk away well we had a rethink and here is our new offer...

they don't look desperate at all

Sounds like they just asked some random guy sat in their office.

 

Shaun Goater (why?) had his say on our transfers, Couts and VvD to be specfic:

On Couts;
“I personally think that Liverpool should sell him but try and get more,” Goater said on Sky Sports.
“At the end of the day, I think Liverpool will be short, they will be short to win the Premier League.
“For me it could be good business as to what they can do with it after Coutinho’s moved on, if they accept.”

On VvD;
Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk should be playing for a bigger club than Saints, according to pundit Shaun Goater.
But Goater says Van Dijk must accept he will be staying with Mauricio Pellegrino’s side until January’s window at least.
“His head’s been turned, he’s a quality player, he can and should be playing at a bigger club,” Goater said on Sky Sports.
“I think that is where his head has been turned but he was happy with the contract a year ago that he signed.”

So VvD must stay at Soton but Couts should be free to go, despite both players being in the same position over signing long contracts less than a year ago?
Its the Hypocrisy that really gets me.

 

The problem is you can say it once or twice but it's not going to stop people.

The one with you and sky there I even posted that even if it's not meant in that way that it's a very poor choice of phrase to use and people should be more considerate.

Not sure inverted commas around decent was necessary mate.

 

Yeah I was just about to say to Bobby... Give it a couple of wins

 

We got our arses kicked by the British sports press and TV media over the VVD caper(fair enough), but the BBC and Sky Sports in particular are getting great delight over our Couthinho situation, when Goater uttered the ****e you quoted shouldn't the person interviewing him have pointed out that he's contracted for the next 5 years, he's wanted by the club, he's not for sale and that Goater made a **** of himself with his hypocrisy when discussing VVD?
Haven't heard many on those outlets say Barca are out of order and should take LFC's refusal to sell from minute one for what it is, So SSN reckon they're coming back again, no doubt the players head will be further ****ed up if they do make a new offer, it's time the Boston Crew came over and put everyone in the picture personally.
