    How many we sold? 5-600?

    Be careful at the services all, the skates are at Rotherham today.

    Sure we lost, but at least Nigel Pearson has us playing some good stuff

    Think it’s about that, though I think we might sell a few more given as nice signing Ross McCormack might make his debut.

    It’s ok! We’ve still got 200m to spend after selling

    Tadic, Gabbiadini, Austin, Lemina, Boufal, Carrillo, Hoedt, JWP, Romeu, Cedric, Betrand, Hojbjerg.....

    Still I hope Les can finalise the deal for Lewis McGugan, would be a top addition.

    Struggling to meet the release clause though

    I hear we're haggling over 500k and a big bag of beef monster munch.

    That’s the stumbling block, he wants pickled onion but he wants the whole bag upfront.

    Unrealistic demands.

    If he wants pickled onion over roast beef then I'm not sure I want him here anyway.

    Can't be having that madness.

    Why Barnsley? It's just gone 5 and I'm confused.

    Why not? He doesn't literally mean Barnsley. It is an allegory for all small former mining communities and other northern communities blighted by Thatcher and the author is suggesting, I suspect, that on current performance we may, yet again, be playing against teams from such communities rather than the conurbations of the North. Either that or he's been smoking too much skunk.

    I wanted to use Burton as an unfashionable match but I suspect they might go down.

    As for the skunk... I wish! been over 18 months now since my last spliff.

    Ah Burton. The day we signed Osvaldo, my son rang and asked if I wanted to go with him to see Burton V Pompey in Div 2 (he had been invited as a guest) and I loved it. We sign an Italian international and the Skates are set to play Burton. Seemed funny at the time.
