Hopefully on Saturday we'll do a 'Lou Reed', and have a Perfect Day: Sign Walcott for breakfast, Ballotelli for lunch, and then smash Watford 5-0. EDIT: Sorry, was replying to Laces' comment (see below): Perhaps Les wants everyone and everything to do with SFC to have a variant of the name 'Reed' in it?
More likely to do a "Les Reed" and sign nobody, Insta noodles for lunch, lose 1-0 to a late goal and do interviews afterwards saying it was a bad moment
players must be put off by the very real possibility that they would be joining a team in serious relegation troube. but then lifes a bitch
Depends how good the player is. I'd be pretty confident that anyone who signed Luis Suarez wouldn't be in danger of being relegated for example
Viz magazine got it about right with its Top Tips; REPLICATE the transfer deadline day in your works canteen by panic-buying a pot noodle for £20, a minute before they close.
A more accurate comparison for us would be, having near starved ourselves for the last few years and suffering from several nutritional deficiencies, we decide against overspending on food & supplements that will save us.
I get the feeling the board are waiting to see what happens vs Watford, seeing if they are able to tempt another managerial option, then spending dependent upon that. Maybe.
Hopefully... Though if they were to sack him after Watford I'd argue the past 10 days were utterly ****ing pointless. I'd still be glad he's gone mind.
As an Austin replacement/stand-in for sure but haven't we been linked mu;tiple times? Get the feeling he thinks we're bargain basement and we would need more commitment form any signing.
