this seems to be the kind of figure we keep hearing from the media. Remember when Miller was being touted for that kind of figure only to go for £400k? I doubt a player in the final year of his contract, who nobody else seems to want will fetch anywhere near that. Perhaps the Qataris will pay about £1.5m and I think that would be a fair amount, they might be rich but I doubt they are stupid enough to spend so much on a player they can pick up for relative peanuts in a few months time.

PLus darkskies was pretending seemingly innocuous posts were racist after he deleted them.
The full picture may have been needed before you waded in.

I posted earlier saying that saying that a club are signing a player based on his nationality or religion is racist. Which is true.
------------------------------------
No it's not. Nationality and religion are nothing to do with racial descrimination.

Positive discrimination or national-nepotism are more fitting.

Pie ,darkskies has been banned for bein a nugget,and indeed has been banned before for bein a nugget. This inherent nuggetry has now earned him a new ban. Two's up to him I say,although I wouldnt say this was a pie related incident,more a nugget-related one

Definite positive discrimination.
Which is just as bad, don't get me wrong.

Which again brings us back to Athletic in spain...
...and still isn't racism.
Dos wasn't being racist...a poster wanted to create the illusion he was and was rightly banned,

I will take that point on, discrimination.
Not racism.
Well, the moderators make their own guidelines. They could favour anyone. They could be a user on here under another name for all we know.
The BBC will have set regualtions.
I didn't "wade in". I commented a long time ago, which is where all of this argument came from.
I read the comments, and responded.
I could ask you to do the same.
Anyway, I really need to get grafting to get away from the work on time.
Not trying to do a comment and run, honest!

Well, the moderators make their own guidelines: they did. They're on the front page
They could favour anyone: They favour sensible posts and are against nonsense
They could be a user on here under another name: Maybe? so what>?
The BBC will have set regualtions: see point 1

I don't think DarkSkies should have been banned to be fair... Maybe ridiculed but not banned.
He was most probably wrongly offended due to misinterpretation and from then on had clouded judgement over everything Dos or any poster taking his side said.

In keeping with the lowbrow responses Darkskies so loved from me....
Get him banned,he's a tadger
NB that would be a generic tadger,not connected to any one race or religion
