Never in doubt.

What a great few days it's been.

Don't know much about him, but seems to be a good signing.

Welcome to the club.

Yes, but none of our development squad signings are included in the sticky so why are Brighton's?

Tall Paul

The sticky is a bit misleading as the two they've signed today are only 20 and one of those is going straight out on loan. At least two of their other signings will be for their development squad.

d. 3 August 2018 (24.00CET) for all matches in the third qualifying round;

We can add/replace two players up to 24 hours before kick off.

Tall Paul

Neither can I. And he wont be. Which is exactly why it's a good signing. I'm just struggling to believe that he'd come here knowing that it's likely that he won't be first choice. You've got Pope injured for months which means, he's challenging Heaton for the number one spot or Heaton is off. That'...

Tall Paul

While I'm happy with the signing, I still don't get it.

I just can't imagine a scenario where Joe Hart will be happy to come here and potentially end up sitting on the bench behind Heaton or Pope.

Tall Paul

No. The windfall of the first promotuon under Dyche which was completely unexpected is what properly cemented our position. Transfer dealing before then was up and down. Since then its been cautious and fairly targeted and as i have said already broadly i rhink this has worked well for us. But the ...

Tall Paul

Bury got that one wrong. He'd signed for them in the March and therefore outside of the transfer window. So when he made that debut they suffered a three point penalty for playing an illegible player. You are right, the first player born in this millennium to play league football. Seems a harsh pen...

Tall Paul

Its not a new thing this - our record oveer the last 4 years is dogged pursuit of one or two players throughout a window - nibbling upwards bit by bit until in the ned we dont get the player we want. Quite often we return for players in multiple windows too yet still cant manage to land them. Im st...

Welcome back Callum.

I'll let you know on Thursday evening.

Tall Paul

Murger wrote:Quite simple really. If our transfer dealings start and end with Gibson, the window has been a sham.

You said we weren't going to sign anyone, so it's already exceeded your expectations.

You mean the criticism is pathetic, right?

If this is true Tarkowski must be going.

Great stuff.

Yeah, we should have given him a medical before we agreed the fee and everything else.

Nixon didn't have this one or Gibson.

Losing his touch?

Tall Paul

Unfortunately after the initial excitement of our bid, I don't think we will get Gibson because: a) Our ridiculous incremental bidding approach allows more time for other parties to get involved and out bid us b) Our bids have been projected everywhere by Boro and also Pulis comments to create a bi...

Tall Paul

A good signing on the face of it. At his best he's an excellent keeper and I'd trust our coaching team to get the best out of him. The concern is what this means for Heaton and, to a lesser extent Pope. I can't imagine Hart will be coming to sit on the bench so either Heaton's minor calf strain isn'...

How about we give them until 5pm on 9th August, would that work?

I was a bit surprised when seeing the omission on the back of the programme so checked UEFAs website which confirmed it.

I assume squads get reset for the group stages?

I think they can change the squad for each round.

Claretmatt4 wrote:Surely it doesn't matter that we'll have played a Turkish team already?

It's because the draw is made before the next round, so it could be two Turkish teams drawn against each other.

You don't really need to know much about the transfer market to work out that it's a completely stupid suggestion.

Next sentence: "Possibly, yes, football is weird like that."

He's saying it'll be difficult, but is possible, which we all know anyway.

That might be what the headline says but it isn't what SD said.

Are you willing to put money on that?

Tall Paul

I don't see how what Fello says is so unreasonable. We could have quite easily registered Legzdins and sacrificed an outfield player instead, say Wells or Walters but we chose not to. I don't think it'd be fair for UEFA to give us dispensation to bring another keeper into the squad.

Just noticed he's on the new page of the Burnley calendar. He's going nowhere.

It is because the football would be better with a higher quality of player at the club.

How come you barely post anything about football and loads about transfers?

As for HITC, the lady who is happy to help at Asda East Fife knows more about football transfers than any of the tripe on there. It is clickbait, nothing more.

Liverpool Echo is the source though, which is usually pretty reliable.

In before all the posters complaining that we were linked with Crouch start complaining that we aren't going to sign him.
