?A good gulp of English wine?..

Talking of football, the sports pages of German newspapers are always the best place to pick up new phrases and colloquialisms. Hamburg, who have been in the top tier of German football for longer than any other club, are a bit strapped for cash this season, but their manager confided to one of the papers that he was hoping to soon get ?a good gulp of English wine?. Which in modern footballing parlance means selling mediocre German players for big bucks to clubs in the English Premier League. No German angst there.
