Then why the use of 5 (!) question marks?

Correct.
My view is that - because Virgil has been so public himself - then he no right to be annoyed by the club going public, but that regardless, he will be annoyed.
Because if he wasn’t bothered about us knowing, he’d have told us himself that he’s sitting on an offer for ages.

Eh? I capitalised the ‘shouldn’t’ so you’d see how ‘shouldn’t be bothered’ and ‘isn’t bothered’ are two completely different things?

I’d say that close to 100% of football journalists stories at this level involve ‘using’ of some sort.
Even if that’s usually just as mundane as a club giving journos some news in order to keep those journos onside/relevant.
Hopeful that’s the case here but suspect not

I agree that he SHOULDN’T be bothered, given that he has so frequently told the public about dealings (i.e. I haven’t been offered a contract yet).

p.s. I’m neither miserable nor edgy. Just objective. It’s clear to me that VVD contract will get signed at some point because there’s clearly a will, both sides.
It’s also clear to me that Trent has no intention of signing. He’s gone. Call that miserable if you like but remember me when it happens.

Also, the briefing is explicitly at pains to point out that LFC have made the offer, some time ago, and that VVD has not accepted.

No. If it was a standard ‘here’s a tidbit to keep you journos onside’ briefing, then they’d do the standard ‘trusted circle’ WhatsApp (Joyce, Pearce, Reddy, Orny, Lewis Steele etc). This was done for Quansah and Konate offers recently.
The Orny approach seems v different.

Yes. I even wrote it down to show that I think that.

You’ve lost me there I’m afraid.
Anyway, I’ve noted that you think I’m full of shit, not much else I can say to that when you’ve offered nothing constructive.
Enjoy your evening.

With respect, if you want to leave a sarcastic comment without offering any constructive contribution, wouldn’t you be better doing that on Twitter?

Gakpo was given just 13mins at the end of the last nights game so I imagine he will play at the weekend in place of Diaz.

Robbo’s still only 30.
A lot writing him off just because he’s started slowly. Personally I think he’s carrying a knock and will get back to himself when that’s sorted
