Been watching videos (yes I know lol) of him and he looks a tricky player. Superb vision! In a better team I think his assist count would be much higher - but we'd need someone to put the ball in the back of the net. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSFVGAbz9iM The key words here are "in a better te...

Supermarket meat is mass produced and notoriously bland. It has its place in society but treat yourself every now and again to meat from an animal reared properly - outdoors eating naturaly produce like grass, hay or meal. Sometimes, all you need when you have a great piece of meat is just a little...

[/img] Can you put some quotes up as my French isn't good enough to go through them all. Google says French for Tampon is Tampon but can't find it on their sites. Tampon is a word used to describe any absorbent cloth-type product in France. I've been trying to load an example on here but I can never...

They have to be out of contract by the time their own transfer window shuts to be eligible for registration with us. Loans have to be made during the window. Free agents (those who had no contract with a club prior to their transfer window closing) are available to sign. Thanks for the info, I thou...

8/10 for me, just missing that marquee number 10 to give us the option to go 451.

Everybody is talking about Dwight at No10, who knows, SD might be looking to try Cornet in that role......he's got good feet, can pass & a decent goalscoring record. Thoughts, anyone?

Amazed Ross Barkley didn't get a move somewhere, whether it be to us or elsewhere. He's basically going to lose another 6 months of his career not playing, though on that money I don't suppose he'll be too gutted. You would hope though he is desperate to play, perhaps that's the problem. He's still...

Decent money.

4 years at Chelsea during which he’s played 12 Premier League games (5 of them starts) plus 1 league game for us, 4 for Villa and 11 (6 starts) for Kassimpasa.

Good work if you can get it.

From what I saw, there was no work involved

I’ve none for outbound although I suspect we might have some u23s going out on loan.

Is it the same deadline for loan deals Tony? Or is there a couple of weeks extra open for those?

I don’t know how well our scouting is set up in France, but I’d have thought that there could be some opportunities to take advantage of over there.

If the Young signing occurs we will have three Ashleys in our squad. Is this a world record?

What other Ashleys could we add to the team?

As long as it's not Mike Ashley!

The European refs don't seem to give free kicks based on the volume of the squeal from the diving player either.

Probably cos they're more used to it?

I have heard this myth that they rotated the stadium 90 degrees fairly often and I have no idea where it has come from. The pitch was not rotated.

Shame that, I'd have liked to have seen them rotate the stadium 90 degrees, fairly often

As I understand it, the shirt makers offer different designs to the club, and the players then choose the ones they want to wear. If that's the case, why not involve the fans? I'm sure we'd make better choices than some of the players. I mean, who at Man U picked their zebra shirts last year? Have ...

Looking very promising. We're so used to hearing nothing until the end. If there's something behind these leaks it means we're trying to get our business started early and even have multiple targets.

Almost 10 minutes and no mention of derisory so far, is this a record ?

Nothing derisory here, according to Football League World, Burnley have proposed a 9-figure sum for a Stoke player! I make that over £100,000,000.....unless they're including the pence figure, of course

I don’t understand why people equate a good transfer window with how much is spent (Fulham). we need to buy the RIGHT players they can cost 50p for all I care.

I liked him too. Wicked cross on him. Played about 30 games for Nimes and scored 4 goals/3 assists (or something like that). Not amazing stats but potentially hindered by the team.
