Loving it!

the most amazing thing about the Thiago thread is that the whole thing was over and locked by July 20th. Unlike Sneijder, Berbatov etc. which went on right til the end of the window.

Thread title made me think that I'll open the thread to find a ton of depressed muppets. I see everyone is very optimistic and discussing Vidal's wages
£200,000 is fair if Rooney is on 300. I'm assuming that RvP is on 200 or more as well.
Nobody is going to be depressed and negative about this one. Not on my watch anyway.

Vidal will sell up plenty of shirts, definitely.
Real Madrid will sign Vidal for £33m in less than two weeks.
Judging by the amount of posts in this thread, he's already sold loads of new, clean pants all over the world.

IN real life many posts are hybrids of several types, it isnt so black and white. I would say my post was a strange lovechild between 3 and 10, paying homage to 6, and very much the anti-5.
I presume the above is a 3?
I need a breakdown of the 10k by each of the above categories.

I can only dream of that kind of status. My strategy is to try and make a bigger splash in less systemically important threads. I know I cant make a real difference in a thread like this, Im happy to just be in the squad tbh.5th! I never dreamt I'd be so high, this is a special moment. I've tried to gain true muppet status in previous summers, but this is the first time I've really made it!
