🚨 Jamie Carragher on Sunderland rejecting Chelsea's reported €8m bid for Granit Xhaka:

🗣️Carragher - Chelsea is such an unserious club.

Listen, what a way to show Xabi Alonso you're serious about him!
Chelsea have gone and made Sunderland — a club that only just got promoted — walk away from the table. Absolutely embarrassing.

Sunderland paid over £13 million for Granit Xhaka last season. Made him captain straight away. He's been a leader for them, helping them punch well above their weight.

They've come out and said it clear as day: he's not for sale this summer.
But what do Chelsea do? Chuck in a bid that's SIGNIFICANTLY less than what Sunderland paid for him.

That's not just an insult to Sunderland, that's a slap in the face to Xhaka AND to Xabi Alonso!
For a player that's not even for sale, how on earth can you lowball them like that? It's disrespectful.

You want to build something under a top manager like Alonso? This isn't how you do it, lads. Sort it out."

@rationalhumanis Oh the typical arrogance. Taking tips from a septic on anything other than how to consume too many calories is never a good idea. You don't do sport better than anywhere else, and the reason you don't realise that is because you haven't a cultural clue about anything outside USA.

@HLTCO ROI will still manage not to qualify.

[Brian O'Flaherty @Flatsy1]

@sniffpetrol I love them.

[Brian O'Flaherty @Flatsy1]

So we're changing how we say Turkey now, yeah?

[Brian O'Flaherty @Flatsy1]

@Alan__Shatter "Genocide" haters you silly bollocks. Not Israel. And doing what the people bid is not exactly what Iran are known for. What a stupid analogy. You've had a mare here.

[Brian O'Flaherty @Flatsy1]

@GulfCoastJP @THR I'm curious. Apart from being interested enough in the show to respond to the original tweet in the first place. Which category do you fall into. Do you watch the show and not enjoy it? Or do you not watch the show and just guess how bad it is?

Thinking about this cracking tweet today

[Hussain Shiyam 🇵🇸❓🎈 @ShiyamHussain]

This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.

Gianni Infantino in 2017, talking about the bidding process for 2026 with particular reference to the travel bans the US had in place then:

“Teams who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup. That is obvious.

“We are now in the process of defining the bid requirements. In the world there are many countries who have bans, travel bans, visa requirements and so on and so forth. It’s obvious when it comes to FIFA competitions, any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup.

“The requirements will be clear. And then each country can make up their decision, whether they want to bid or not based on the requirements.”

@HLTCO Every. Single. Year. The same reminder.

@Formula3 @aramco Naëled it.

@GreggHartley__ @BM9MF @UnitedStandMUFC @JacobsBen You can't have a buyback on a player who has already moved on to another club 🙄🙄

[Brian O'Flaherty @Flatsy1]

@IndyCar Hauger was always good enough for F1. He's a class above those 2 anyway.

@symplytheo @RisingStarXI You kids grow up so fast these days.

@doc3d Meh, it's their business model. They'll never stop.

[Brian O'Flaherty @Flatsy1]

@PurelyFootball Well yes, I'm sure games against Curacao, Ecuador & the Ivory Coast will give him a chance to be less shit than he is against quality defences.

@Canice_LK @danielthemate This is how fucking precious you lot are. Pathetic.
