Gakpo

[Orgoner]

To be fair, Orta might’ve been right on him…

[Oranje White]

As a Dutchman who also follows Dutch football, he was well known prior to Orta's interest and was scoring for PSV regularly. It's not like Orta saw something that nobody else in the Nederlands saw. It was just a matter of time before the big clubs came for him.

I suspect we tried to nickel & dime the deal, before the 49-ers came in with their "let's buy every American player" philosophy, and the oodles of dollars that accompanied it, by which time, as OW says, he was on the radar of those with even deeper pockets and we got Rutter instead!

[Billyni]

We may have leaked to the press that we enquired about him. That may have been all.

I think Gapko and his agent knew his true worth and take t would be better supported at a bigger club - sensible lad

[Rev72]

He must be relieved he didn't join us.

Unfortunately, Lpool snapped out of their funk. They'll be playing for a champions league spot by the time they hit ER. wish we had caught them earlier.

Pity we didn't play Man U later than we did - there is clearly something not right in the camp, I have never seen such disinterested players; a couple of them don't deserve paying this month.

Still seem to be a lot of SECs in their squad

Rat Boy and Brick head being chief amongst them

[spaldy]

not familiar with the nicknames.

Is rat boy fernandez?

I assume brick head is mcquire?

However gumacho and martinez look like the back end of a donkey so it could be one of them.
