Then give it a rest, maybe? If you have a better source for the suggestion than the only one you've ever provided then let's see it. Otherwise there's no reason to think he's about to retire, and we really don't need to hear the same meaningless guesswork a few times a month.
I don't think FB is a troll, rather someone that gets a bit carried away. On the plus side, they keep the forum moving a lot of the time.
I think he probably isn't, and he makes plenty of useful and interesting posts, but it is quite wearing that, when people point out the lack of any grounding for his pet claims, he neither listens nor backs up his position. I don't want to come on here and constantly have to wade through people refuting the same thing for the 39th time...

🚨 Leicester City reach agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sign Oliver Skipp. 23yo midfielder set to undergo medical today before completing permanent move from #THFC to #LCFC. Viewed as good deal all round. Clubs meet in PL opener tomorrow @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/Fx3JtCHwc4— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) August 18, 2024 £20m fee for Skipp according to Ornstein. A lot of people are scoffing at that fee. It's a bit high but I don't think it's the worst deal in the world. He's stagnated in his development massively but he's still only 23 and I was really high on him a few years ago. Think it's still possible he makes a very good player of himself.
