None of this rubbish with gentleman's agreements ...

Couldn't be done anyway. I don't think our Board have any gentlemen ...

Quite so.

My understanding is that if GSB sell before 2023 they have to pay a levy as part of the OS deal. So there is no way they will consider selling until 2023 at the earliest. Have I got my wires crossed? They could sell now simply by factoring the levy into the selling price. They don't have to wait un...

All hush hush hush low key. No amateur embarrassing PR stuff.

Yes, this. Just like the transfer window. Even the GSB mouthpieces have a hint of desperation about them which is to be applauded.

That looks a good window on paper. More disappointed about no LB than no CF to be honest. A decent LB that can play LWB would have allowed us to sell Arthur and Fredericks I agree with your first sentence but not your second. Many people believe that our squad is on the light side (me included) so ...

Now that it's getting towards the fag end of TDD and as some are bemoaning the lack of a striker, before anyone mentions Andy Carroll, apparently he's off to Reading (at least according to someone on a Reading fan site). So we can stop that one before it starts. I think we'll be ok without a "c...

According to the BBC, Mikey will only be able to play for Jamaica against Panama on Sunday as the other 2 games this autumn are in Mexico and Costa Rica. They are both on the government's red list and the Premier League has banned players from travelling to red list countries. So it's just 1 game fo...

Double post.

get those in and we have had a good window. we will still have a small squad but moyes likes small and tight. LB - ? pelligrini 22 years old italian international. ideal CM - loftus cheek or oxlade chamberlain on loan CF - sima 7m ? Pellegrini has, reportedly, said that he wants to stay at Juve and...

The info I saw on Gerd Muller was that he was 5' 9" as well. He did pretty well as a striker for a shortarse.

When did Jamaica become part of Africa??? :shock:

I have no idea what attracts people with large amounts of money to be attracted to losing even more large amounts of money by investing in football. Is it literally just a play thing for the very wealthy. Ego trips aside. Why do they do it Serious question I think they have, for the most part, made...

Maybe PAI are just bogus bidders by invention of GSB to look like serious bidder in order to push some of these other interested parties higher ? Otherwise if they aren’t, they seem as skint as the current lot. Seriously?? That requires creative thought and some kind of long term plan. Those are tw...

We could get him quite cheaply. Call it a Plea bargain.

I'll get my coat ...

And it’s a personal thing on a DoF. I think they’re essential, whether it be with the title or a slightly different one.

I don't think many would disagree but a DoF has to have some knowledge of the job. Being an ex porn baron is no qualification imo.

Sorry mate, I don't have that option on my broadband account :shock:

I must admit that I'm getting a bit pissed off by these constant arguments about "strikers". It seems to me that it doesn't matter if some website labels a player as a striker or a winger (or even an attacking midfielder), or even if some people claim that a player is a converted winger or...
