Topic: Worst Transfer Window Jargon

[Titi Camara]

Over-used transfer window jargon that does me nut in....

Swooping, Eying, Monitoring, Considering, Demanding, Commanding

Any more to add?

Here we go.

That position is now sorted for the next 10 years.

Future proofing (does that count). In fact, we should have a general football ‘jargon’ thread, so I can moan about pompous shite like ‘half spaces’ that are well and good in a tactics room with actual professional coaches, but sound utterly hilarious to me when uttered by fans on a forum or Twitter

[Jean Girard]

Negligence, underlying numbers, passes the eye test.

War Chest

[Jwils21]

Those that can't distinguish between opinion and fact, laden with UFC/NFL style "trash talk".

"Axel Disasi is a generational talent. Future Chelsea captain. What a signing. Best defender in the league already. Meanwhile Liverpool can't even attract Romeo Lavia, There are levels to this game."

[Ray K]

Warchest
Splash out
Transfer Kitty
Weighing up a bid (Which conjures images of placing a player on one side of an old-fashioned weighing scales, and adding pound coins to it until it starts to balance)

[Boaty McBoatface]

Home Grown Quota.

[Qston]

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)

[Titi Camara]

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

[FiSh77]

"Everton are monitoring"

[Qston]

Your Lampards and your Gerrards 

My pet hate with commentators that. They aren't plural !!!!

[Dench57]

“Bracing for a bid.”

Haha I like this one. I imagine an office full of people physically bracing themselves, taking cover, clinging onto their desks etc

[FiSh77]

My pet hate with commentators that. They aren't plural !!!!

There's enough of Lampard for him to be plural, fat tory c*nt

[BER]

I'd love to see a word cloud of the transfer thread.

[Boaty McBoatface]

I'd love to see a word cloud of the transfer thread.

That would be a site to behold! Surely one of our more techie members could do it!

[Boaty McBoatface]

I'd love to see a word cloud of the transfer thread.

Big Jorg, Ibiza and cocaine would be high up the list.

[Kopenhagen]

Bedwetter.
