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.

I believe you, honestly I do  ;)

Can’t believe we’re on page 3 and no one has flexed their transfer “stance”.

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

Pele has to be one of them surely.

It's not technically transfer jargon but 'one to watch' seems to have been used so frequently over the years that there must be about 20,000 players I need to keep an eye on. Doable for the supreme being I suppose but tricky for your average mortal.

Criminal

(no it isn`t fucking "criminal" if the club don`t buy a player you have scouted on football manager. I very much doubt there will be a criminal statutory provision for this)
Absolutely this. Moronic to describe a football decision as criminal.

"according to reports". it's a licence to make stuff up and goes unchallenged. "Click bait" which is what it is. An enormous industry based on making up transfer bullshit.
