That seems to have gone over a few heads, but I liked it Bigvince.

The longer it goes then the less chance of the deal going thru

What’s wrong with these medicals? When I joined the RAF, some grubby old bloke grabbed my nuts and asked me to cough. Job done! Looking back, I’m not sure he was even a doctor!

Same thing for me when I became an alter boy down at St Marys

Why?

Got to be sure, don't want another Joe Gallagher who passed his medical by running up the Bob Lord steps

I once had a very small role, in a very small transfer, and the paperwork took all day, solicitors, agents, FA, club officials on both sides, internal press etc etc, factor in a medical, travelling... It's a long day, and night.

Yep, years back I was vaguely involved in the Andrey Arshavin transfer that ended up being approved a few days after the window shut and there was a whole variety of stuff involved.

Ever thought people have homes to go to and be with their families so the media part will be tomorrow?

Why?

Because in any business negotiations the longer talks drag on then the chance of failure increases significantly. Delay usually signifies a disagreement or problem. It may not of course but in my experience that is the norm

No comma after Turf Moor, awful for the social media team.

It was all signed and sorted last week. The tricky bit is coming up with a funny video about it

Unsure on quality of source, but Brownhill apparently to be given number 8 shirt. Maybe from someone who's seen/heard of the pictures being taken before he's unveiled.

Looks like it was correct.

Wells officially gone too now.

Being an altar boy has altered many a boy.

So, did he pass his medical?

Yes, funnily enough.

The thing about Twitter is that all Burnley's signings are revealed, or at least rumoured, in advance on Twitter. So are all the signings we don't get. I bet if you look hard enough we will have been linked with all of Bristol City's first XI in the last few months; if you get fifty pieces of info and only 2 are true, and you don't know which 2, it's a lot less use than Chris Boden.

It's like the Daily Express weather forecasts. If they predict snow every day, and then one day it does snow, then they were right but useless.

It was a knee-jerk statement on my part. I've since been talked round

Sorry bud, I didn’t read all the posts. My mistake.

Didn't we have a Brownhill here on a trial basis a few years back?

Wow some enthusiasm. To think I've only just recovered from being depressed after Drinkwaters signing video.

What a difference wanting to be here it could make.

Some credible sources of information on there, too. Some decent journalists often post reliable stuff.

Obviously you're just believing anything from anyone, which is why you've been disappointed with your experience.

Agreed. If you look at what people put as a rumour, you can always have a good idea via various checks, of how reliable it is.
