Topic: Worst Transfer Window Jargon

[Qston]

Interesting that a healthy percentage of people posting in this thread are RAWK supporters. I wonder if that means that people who support the site are more predisposed to venting at things like this ? Probably !

A thread full of phrases that make me angry? Yes please!

Would like to add: 'Imminent', 'talks have cooled' and 'edging closer'.

Player ceiling, what's the matter with the word, potential, ffs

This is the one,more and more irritating after hearing for months of how high some kids ceilings are.

Also in every transfer apparently a club simply has to 'lose out the transfer battle' according to the press even if they only scouted the player once years ago.

Generational talent. In reality theres only been about 3 of them since the 50s. So that 18 year old from some club isnt one.

You don't seem to hear the word "mooted" as much these days. Bring back old transfer jargon for the ol arses!!

I always imagine clubs lined up on a running track, awaiting the starting gun.

I've seen Greenwood and Sancho both described as 'generational talents' in recent years.

I only posted it as a bit of a joke cos I saw he mentioned it in here though I did have high hopes for Musialowski.

I agree though, people describe any semi decent young player as a generational talent, hence my comment about Sancho and Greenwood.

That's not the worst "Transfer Window Jargon."

[TheMissionary]

So that's Kenny

Who are the other 2?

Jimmy Greaves and George Best imo.  Or Danny Cadamartari and Phil Neville if you're a blue.
