    I am not certain about the situation with Weghorst, as he said he had a clause in his contract or a verbal agreement that he would not play outside the premier league. That would appear to me to be a poor decision by the club to agree to such a clause.
    I have a problem V_C, several in fact. In which world of reality would any business allow £40 million quid worth of assets to walk through the door for nothing.

    McNeil was good financial business for BFC, the same goes for Cornet. In which world would a football club allow a player to dictate how he applies himself to a contract? I personally blame Alan Pace for the Weghorst fiasco, and he needs to either get shut of the Dutch w@nker at the right money or let VK decide if Weghorst has any sort of future playing at Turf Moor.

    He's not exactly setting Qatar on fire, is he?

    Finally, I hate this chest beating, badge kissing loved up bollox which evaporates as soon as a few extra grand on offer kicks in. I just do not do hypocrisy.

    I'm now buggering off to write 100 lines,

    "I must not believe players love our club more than money".

    BT, you need to amend ths lines to read "I must not believe any player loves any club more than money."

    I have always just assumed that chest beating, badge kissing loved up bollox actually meant something to a player mein freund. Mee and Weghorst have certainly set me straight on that one.

    No you didn't, you knew just like the rest of us that badge kissing is just what they do, what they play for is money.

    I'm just not that cynical mon ami, I believe in the Corinthian Spirit, surely not everything is about bloody money.

    Mind you Beckham's just held his hand out to take $150 million over 10 years from Qatar and I'll bet he takes a Saudi's hand off (pun intended!) to broker their World Cup bid in 2030.

    Money bloody money.

    Of course it's all about money, you and me both know that mon ami, take Lineker and Neville for instance, they haven't stopped gobbing off in months about Qatar, the corruption and the slave labour. Where are they now ? In Qatar earning millions.

    You know my specialist subject is "Hypocrisy" mon ami.

    My toes were curling, my stomach contracting vomit whilst Lineker introduced the HRWC with a parody of how corrupt and horrid the Qatar regime is instead of the BEEB showing us the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

    All the time he's earning around £10,000 per day for being on TV while lording it up in horrid Qatar luxury.
