And the fact no one has actually seen him play
I love the
transfer thread hype cycle.
1) Foreign player we’ve never heard of gets mentioned.
2) Excitement builds as the player looks like a star on YouTube. He’s brilliant. We must have him.
3) Other clubs rumoured to be interested in the player. Nervousness enters the room.
4) Airport, Homebase, Ear watch commences.
5) Becomes clear that there never was interest and/or the player is not coming.
6) He’s shite.
7) And repeat, sometimes for the same player in 4-5 transfer windows as we keep believing.
I may have missed a few stages.
