WTF is going on in football?

" Manchester City have set a record transfer fee for a 13-year-old by paying Southend United £175,000 for defender Finley Burns."

That’s mental right? 175 grand for a 13-year-old?!

Depends how much they’re paying him a week!!

Who as been deleting my comment then Bletch?

How very dare you!

It’s on the other thread that the big impatient bird started at the same time.

Ok, you are back on the Christmas card list Bletch.

Does this mean there is a thread comp coming up? Is a thread comp a yellow or red card offence?

On topic - Didn’t Arsenal pay loads of Jermaine Pennant?

Not sure but I seem to remember us paying £150k for some kid from Plymouth not so long back

I double posted because the web developer is so shoddy that the site crashed just at the wrong moment. This was a software error and not user error. I will not stand for it!

Can one of the forum bosses please merge the two threads or delete the other one? It’s terribly embarrassing for the Sotonians brand that these things can be allowed to happen.

Careful, don’t question the whims of the mods or the site, you have been warned…

Don’t know someone is on the verge of paying £8 million (rising to £10m) for a 33 year old and £65k per week on a 4 year contract!! At least City are investing in the future… this kid has to be pretty handy!

A barrow load of crisps and sweets, a gallon of fizzy pop, a games console of his choice, a mobile with no parental controls so he can watch porn & a packet of tissues.

He’s living the teenagers dream
