[Roonmastor]

Roonmastor blasts transfer rumours by releasing a statement through twitter that his future is with the Pirates and he plans to help build the club.

[Dante]

Seeing as I haven't played a single premiership game, might aswell send me on loan so I can get some games under my belt

[Cuttooth]

1/1 - Nova is among the Danish Team of the Year substitutes.
Caliban came third in Irish Young Player of the Year. This boils my blood.

Team Stats

[Red Devil]

61% pass completion

What's the Drb stat?

[Cuttooth]

Dribbles Made Per Game

[SpaceJebus]

I'd be ok with going out on loan for a bit to get some first team games as I'm not getting many chances at the moment, tbf we do have a large squad.

That said it doesn't look like anyone wants me at the moment looking at the player stats screen shot. I'm happy with a pass completion of 89% though.

[Dolph Wiggler]

An assist.

Too bad Nood's the only one who actually passes to me.

I'd send Bork out on loan btw, get him some games without getting injured. Poor guy can't handle the intensity of the top level.

[Memento Mori]

The transfer window has opened up so if anyone wants a loan move or transfer to get some first team action, I'll try and keep track of your career.

An unnamed source in GRcade Pirates FC says Memenro Mori would be interested to see how he performs in a team which has defenders.


It'll give DR and andre some good experience too.

[teh bork]

An assist.

Too bad Nood's the only one who actually passes to me.

I'd send Bork out on loan btw, get him some games without getting injured. Poor guy can't handle the intensity of the top level.

strawberry float off to Bolton, they need a gooseberry fool right back to keep the bench warm.

[Nova]

I'd be happy to go and blast a tonne of goals out in the Championship, as long as you made sure they wouldn't bench me each game. Having said that, I play a fair bit in the first team anyway, so if you feel I'm important enough I'm very content to stick about

[Cuttooth]

I'd send Preezy out but no-one seems to want him.

[Red Devil]

Devil backs Mori loan move

Pirates superstar defender Red Devil has recently given his approval for manager Cuttooth to send struggling goalkeeper Mori out on loan.

"The guy's lost his confidence and so have the fans in his performances. He really could do with a move down the leagues to get out of the spotlight and regain his form."

Devil's also given his support to the two reserve keepers, Dark Ritual and Andre.

"We have two cracking goalkeepers in Ritz [Dark Ritual] and Andre. Hopefully if Mori goes out on loan until the end of the season they'll be able to show the boss what they can do and next season there'll be more competition for that number 1 shirt."

[Dolph Wiggler]

An assist.

Too bad Nood's the only one who actually passes to me.

I'd send Bork out on loan btw, get him some games without getting injured. Poor guy can't handle the intensity of the top level.

If your golf swing is anything like how you defend you'll probably end up knocking yourself out.

[Roonmastor]

As a Lancashire lad, I want to help a local team. Out of interest, where exactly are we based?

[Cuttooth]

I changed the entry for Blackpool to 'New Newport' but it's still based in the North-West.

EDIT - And Blackpool's in Lancashire so, stay with us?

[Hank Scorpio]

Wouldn't mind a loan move to keep my England squad place. Another Prem or Championship team would be great Gaffer.

[Red Devil]

Devil Claims Misquote

After the Pirates 1-0 defeat to 10-man Manchester City yesterday, legend Red Devil says he was mis-quoted in his previous interview.

"I never said Mori should go out on loan, he's one of the best keepers in the league and he's already preventing two other good keepers in Ritz and Andre from playing. He'd be a big loss to the squad if he went."

When asked if this was due to the performance of the Pirates goalkeeper in the City game, Devil responded "No, absolutely not" before hastily making his exit.
