The whole Cesc thing is somewhat amusing. First of all He goes "home" and they decide they don't want him. Arsenal don't exercise the buy back option so he goes to Maureen. THis is the same Cesc who said not too many months back that Maureen lacked respect, class, etc and also made derogatory remarks about Maureens club. Lo and behold he does an Eto'o and signs for a club and manager he supposedly despises. I smell the odour of money from here. It must be awful being rejected by the 2 clubs he supposedly loves. Reminds me of the Rooney "once a blue always a blue" scenario. The Arsenal have lost bigger players than him in the past and survived. While we had him, RVP, Na$ri, C?lichy we didn't win a tropy, they are all gone and we win the FA cup. Coincidence?

I'm not blaming him, he's been spurned by the 2 clubs he allegedly loves most, so he's gone off with the fat bird at the end of the night cos he thinks he'll get a shag.

Suarez deal agreed according to beeb.


?75m is a huge amount of money, but it feels like we've had to let him go on the cheap even at that price. If it wasn't for the bite and ban I really believe he'd have at least matched the Bale price tag.


Ah well, onwards and upwards, we've got a load of untested southampton players to be going on with, what could possibly go wrong?

"I hope you can all understand why I have made this decision," Suarez said. "This club did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife's family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right."



I will say for him that I don't think this is particularly about money, he wants to play at the very top and Liverpool are not there (hopefully a "yet" can be added to that). And maybe just maybe having that family tie close by might just keep him in line.


Good luck Louis you bloody loon you. Your football ability will be missed.

Listening to a Uruguayan journalist this morning, he said the consensus in the country is that Suarez is more suited to Liverpool than he ever will be for Barcelona.

How they reach that conclusion I don?t know but I guess it will be hard to replicate the season he had anywhere.

Agree. Very good signing. Unlike Ozil, can see him easily adapting to the physical demands of the Premier League. Another attacking midfielder though, and with talk of signing Khedira/Bender, makes you wonder what will happen to the likes of Wilshire and OxC...

    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
