The ‘player(s) I have just seen on telly and think we should sign’ thread

[Skitzo]

I don't understand why Minamino cannot get a game at Liverpool, Shaqiri started ahead of him today, he's a player I like the look of a lot

I saw a lad called Bamford on the custard today who looks like he’d score a few goals in a City shirt.

My boss used to say, of people sat around not doing much or waiting, that they were 'Like piffy on a rock bun'. Apparently a Manchester thing. Anyone ever heard that?

 

[mabrah]

Anyone ever heard that?

Nope. Sounds good though, I like it. Must find out what 'piffy' is.

Edit: thank you FOX Franks - I love words and etymology etc

Yeah that’s always been one of my auntie’s stock phrases but I’ve never thought to ask what she actually means by it. She’s proper Luffbra so I’d guessed it was more of a local thing.

Player I think I might want most in the League (that's realistic) is James Ward-Prowse his free kicks are like having a penalty it feels like

I think Bamford looks like a student who asked if he could join in and just hasn't left yet.
