So let me get this straight

Post by dermotdermot » Fri Aug 03, 2018 9:16 pm

We are signing Joe Hart as backup to Tom Heaton who is now first choice until Nick Pope recovers from his shoulder injury. This will make a total of FIVE goalkeepers for the coming season. All this, irrespective of how well Anders Lindegaard has looked in the last two games.

We are also buying Deeney the Neanderthal just to keep our current THREE target men on their toes.

We are also buying Ben Gibson as a first choice centre half as Ben Mee is off as he has had a bust up with James Tarkowski and they are no longer on speaking terms.

We are also buying Sam Clucas to replace Steven Defour who is off to fulfill his dream of playing in China.

We might also welcome home Jay Rodriguez who has apparently agreed personal terms but is waiting to see whether his current employers are willing to let him go for anything under 20 million.

We are also no longer interested in Craig Dawson as we have just been messing him about in the same way as he messed us about four years ago.

Have I missed anything or am I currently up to date?

It's become really, really, really exciting within the last 48 hours.

It's amazing how it can change so quickly.

Can't wait for Istanbul.

Anybody who sees Clucas as a replacement for the truly great Steven Defour is on drugs and good ones.

Apparently from a couple of blokes ‘in the know’ who just happened to be sitting behind another couple of blokes who were at yesterday’s match. You’ll have search for it. It’s out there somewhere.

Ah that one. I saw Wade Elliott in St Marys Car Park yesterday and he told me that the real reason Coyle left was because he'd fallen out with Bertie Bee. That sort of thing?

There some truth? In that and I believe it came straight from the horses mouth!

I did see a point in the match last night where Ben gave James a bollocking as a team captain would, but then James retorted and Ben shook his head. Im not saying this is tantamount to back the "in the know discussion" but it didn't seem right.
