**** me any actual rumours lads?

gandhisflipflop

I watched a bit of the anderlecht documentary and he was in tears on that explaining his reasons for his departure. I must admit, he’s the type of player that if he’s on your side you love him, if he’s against you then you hate him. I certainly did not like him as a player, a bit like Barnes for us....

gandhisflipflop

Brilliant watch. I feel a documentary coming soon

gandhisflipflop

Something I’ve come up with. To the tune of ‘Friday I’m in love by the Cure’

We’ve got Twine in claret and blue
Taylor Harwood Bellis too
We have Vincent Kompany
Oh Burnley I’m in love.

When someone speaks of "8 figures" they are referring to an amount that is £10,000,000 (£10 million) or above. Similarly, a 7 figures amount is one that is £1,000,000 or above - but lower than £10,000,000. Claret Alfie can, of course, clarify if that's what he meant by "8 figures." I’m well aware w...

I doubt we could afford Zirkzee; he’d surely be 8 figures? We definitely need to bring a new striker in though.

If we can’t afford 8m on a player we may as well give up.

Surely the poster is referring to the match not the spectators.

He knew that.

Just on this subject I have 2 questions.

When did the loyalty points start? I’ve had a look on mine and it only goes back to 2005.

When do the loyalty points get added for this season? I went down to renew yesterday but the loyalty points aren’t appearing on my account yet.

gandhisflipflop

Put it on, Whitney Houston blaring out in the background and the crowd singing along. No thanks.

Complete bore fest.

Worst bit of business in the last 25 years ? Maybe even in the history of the club considering what we paid,what was at stake and his wages.
Gash.

I take it you never saw juke then

Cullen
Knight
Muric
Striker.

GK, quality striker, right midfield. 3 positions needing quality.

I’d add another cm on that too. Cullen maybe.

must be great to have never made a mistake when you were a young lad. Give the lad a break ffs

Would much rather have this lad at the club than drink drivers personally

If he does stay, it will be against all odds.

I’ll always remember my mate at the time going on a massive rant during a game about joey gudjonsson. He couldn’t have timed it better. “He offers absolutely nothing”

The game? Home to Preston....

It will never sink in for some posters that nobody has a clue what the financial picture is, will it!

Biggest team's in the championship at the moment At the moment and in general are two different questions for me. Teams will see us as a scalp this season. Normally I’d put us around mid table but I’d have us in the top 3 for the upcoming season along with Norwich and possibly West Brom. If we are ...

gandhisflipflop

So then as far as I’m aware this is the current state of play

Confirmed
Twine
Mcnally

All but confirmed
Cj Egan Riley
Taylor hardwood bellis
Bastien
Muleka

Likely
Wiles

Am I missing anyone?

Tbh is wouldn’t be that hard to improve on our midfield. If he has good technical skills, he already has a head start!

Really saddened by this news today. It’s come as a shock. I can only repeat the sentiments of this thread, a brilliant bloke who brightened away days up. I have lots of happy memories of him. Rest in peace Rocky.

Surprised our resident experts aren’t giving us the lowdown on Muleka and Bastien. I must admit, I’ve never heard of them.

Nor have I, but I have to admit it’s far better than being linked with an Andy Carroll.

This is something that has interested me for a while, as the great Yugoslavian sides were all but gone by the time I understood the game properly in the early 90s. Just listened to a preview of this on the radio… Lots of footballing stories to do with the breakup of Yugoslavia and the emergence of ...

Oh and a gk

gandhisflipflop

Let’s assume those two sign. As things stand, where would we need to strengthen?

For me a back up left back, a cm (2 if I’m greedy), pace out wide and a striker. That is assuming nobody else leaves.

gandhisflipflop

I think unless a big club offers 40m plus, we should be rejecting. The only way I’d accept less is if they include an option of a loan back and a sell on fee for example - 25m and we get him back on loan for this season to continue his development

It’s an amazing film. It beats bohemian rhapsody for me and that was outstanding. It’s very difficult to play Elvis without coming across a joke, but he did it so well.

I don’t get this left sided cb and right sided cb nonsense. To me a cb is a cb

gandhisflipflop

Assuming those are the next 2 through the door, along with McNally, you would assume that barring wing backs, that’s the defence sorted and we can look to recruit in more attacking and midfield areas.

No surprise there.
I wonder how Bobby Thomas will do under VK's coaching, perhaps he'll step up.

Doesn’t mean he isn’t coming. Just not on a perm. Probably a loan and if we go up, look to either get him back or buy him outright.

And that's what it was

Would it be a case of ‘not being able to afford his wages’ which I would find astounding, or a case of him wanting extortionate wages to sign which would be more than we are willing to pay?

gandhisflipflop

Agreed Notts. Too many on here think it's like playing football manager. Very quick to cast off experienced players and think that these prospects are just going to slot in seamlessly and play wonderful attacking football to boot. Just because we have a big name manager. I fear a lot of people are ...

Failed medical sounds likely if we are willing to pay more for Ballard than McNally Just thought, if Oxford turned our bid of 1.75m down and asked for something ridiculous like 3-4m, then maybe we could have been negotiated up to the Ballard price initially. Either way, I’m happy that things appear...

Quite possible. Sounds like McNally was our number 1 target.

I’d hope that was the case, as opposed to mcnally being the back up. If it is, then I can’t understand wanting to pay more for Ballard than mcnally. Anyway, I trust the process.

Pete O Rouke says we are close to signing Luke McNally from Oxford.

Maybe the reason for pulling out of the Ballard deal then.

Always makes me laugh how much people love to quote the orient game but no one ever seems to say, "remember the days when we won the league".

This was always my argument when people referred to the ‘orient game’.

gandhisflipflop

Someone’s just posted on social media Jack Butland for 1m as a rumour. Just passing that on but would be a very good signing in my opinion.

gandhisflipflop

I’m just glad I got my chance to finally thank him for THAT goal at the supporters clubs end of season awards a couple of years ago. Top man.

gandhisflipflop

I can see him dropping back into the championship. Either that or go to rangers or Celtic where he will need to ‘reinvent himself’

gandhisflipflop

Makes you wonder in previous transfer windows what the real issue was when we weren’t signing anyone and we were kept being told that players only signed for us towards the end of a window because they want to see other offers they may get

gandhisflipflop

Plenty of talk as per but still no signings. I won't believe one Iota of the the speculation until the person is an actual claret. We have been let down and hoodwinked by the last owners so many times over the years that I have little optimism I have faith again, mainly because the owners name isn’...

Not when he won't play until mid-season.

That depends on how long he takes to get ‘Kompany fit’

As above. Are we expecting any new signings to be unveiled?

Yes, because I know he’s not good enough for the prem.

Wallace is good enough for the championship and could be good enough for the prem.

It’s not rocket science

We aren’t in the prem though are we?
