The Pre-Summer-2017 transfer rumours and hearsay all inclusive Thread


Recommended Posts

The year Arsenal got to the final of the champions league (beaten by Barca IIRC?) they had the best defensive record in the CL that season. One half of that centre half pairing warms a bench at Ibrox' date=' the other at the piggery.

 

Just saying. :)[/quote']

Au contraire. The Swiss were regarded as being the finest soldiers in Europe for centuries, their mercenaries were sought after by all the great powers as they were seen as being virtually unbeatable and they didn't change sides once they made an agreement. The Swiss were employed as Royal guards by almost every royal family in Europe as well as to guard the Vatican. The mixture of Germanic discipline, French cunning and Italian fire plus yomping up and down mountains all day meant the Swiss were feared and respected. Senderos might be the exception that makes the rule of course.

Senderos was neither feared, nor respected; mercenary, perhaps.

The entrecote steak and herb butter at Cafe de Paris in Geneva is simply divine.

 

Steak and chips is the only item on the menu.

 

The chocolate doughnuts at Geneva Airport are marvellous.

Because of BREXIT ?

 

Somehow can't see that happening. Will the EPL have to ditch all their non-UK players then ?

 

Yes I think EU professional footballers will be one of the "exempted professions"
