I still can't believe it. Thought he would have been gone after palace. I'm half expecting/hoping for a 22:45 announcement of someone we've not heard of who is the next Mane.
but when he signs someone good they move on and if they aren't they stay. Maybe we should get Gandalf to replace him!
Yup. Right now we’re doing pretty much exactly what you’d expect a club to do that ends up getting relegated despite being “too good to go down”.
So Hanni joins Spartak. Was he or wasn't he the Promes replacement? And when does Spartak's friendly kick off because that could be a good indicator of whether we have a chance.
Or, have a CB lined up with the cash. Or something. And as has been noted, the Russian transfer window doesn't close for weeks. Plenty of time for them to find a replacement; it's almost as if we weren't terribly desirous of spending the money now.
If we go down this will be a template for how to get an established premiership side relegated - ****ing priceless!
Well there's no doubt they wanted both Walcott and Promes which doesn't really suggest that they thought we were OK without additions, especially after signing Guido too. Like many, i think we should have binned Pellegrino but doesn't it make a change to see a club actually stick with a manager? I'm beginning to find that a little more noble and have talked myself into believing it has happened because everyone at the club has rallied round and is making positive noises. Take this season out of the equation and I find it genuinely difficult to find much fault with what our board have done since our new lease of life. I do however reserve the right to call for their heads if we don't dick Brighton tonight.
This affair does seem to have an air of "smoke and mirrors" about it, doubt if the truth will ever come out.
Sorry what is an addition? Been so long, I don’t know what one is. We haven’t even signed replacements.
But the rest of Europe pretty much closes today. Hanni was an addition according to Russian media. The reason I can see them wanting a replacement today is because it will be even harder for them to bring anyone in knowing the selling club can't replace the outgoing player.
