On a slightly different note ,Jermaine Jenas has been sacked by the BBC something to do with inappropriate behaviour :lol:

Yeah, they realised that he used to play for the scum. Even the BBC get some things right.

Is Merino just Cebellos 2.0?


Hard to tell - ceballos has at least played for real madrid almost 100 times in his career, but merino went to geordies and dortmund and flopped at both

I think Merino is a good player, will do really well for us. Can't judge him on what he did for another club...... We would never have signed Henry, Bergkamp, Paddy etc etc!! :shock:

Bergkamp had done it with Ajax who were a big european club still at that time. Henry had done it with monaco and they were successful club at the time. Both PV4 and Henry were still young players who could develop into top level players. Merino is 28 years old so at this stage he probably is what he is, and he has never produced at a big club, and that rings few alarm bells for me anyway

BBC:

Jermaine Jenas, who presented The One Show and appeared on Match of the Day for the BBC, has been sacked by the corporation following complaints about workplace conduct.

The former footballer, 41, has been taken off air from both primetime shows.

BBC News understands his contract was terminated earlier this week, because of alleged issues relating to workplace behaviour.
It followed allegations involving digital communications such as texts, which were raised with the corporation a few weeks ago.

A BBC spokesperson said: "We can confirm Jermaine Jenas is no longer part of our presenting line-up."

Fair play to Temu Pep. If he pulls Merino off, he would’ve rebuilt the midfield from the fragile mess left behind by the French waffler

Surely Partey qualifies in this instance, as he was also signed by Lego Head.
