Summer window

With methven taking over charlton might be able to tempt him to sell Leaburn for 100k we all know how much he loves to flog the youth for pennies

 

He has just signed a new contract so it's very possible, he was at the play off final last year and there was talk he was signing then, however he signed a new contract but all of a sudden we are signing him 12 months later, not sure of all the ins and outs of how this works but seems to have been some sort of arrangement put in place then

 

FWIW Romano has tweeted this morning that the Jobe deal isn't collapsing...

 

I think he'll be the first we’ll announce. It would be great if we could get 4 or 5 in before pre season starts. No doubt we'll have a few going out on loan, and maybe 2 or 3 transferred.

 

In Fabrizio we trust haha
But I don’t think what we were saying yesterday was entirely false either, I think Birminghams takeover has delayed it slightly and caused extra negotiation, hopefully gets ironed out soon

 

We kinda have to trust him as he was the person who "broke" that it was happening in the first place. We all saw with our own eyes he was here, but Romano was the first to say a deal was in place.

So if we don't believe him now we shouldn't have then

There's no way of knowing and its all subjective but my guess it that it hasn't "collapsed" because they're still talking, like you say. But that in itself means it wasn't as done as Romano said it was.

(lets not get back into what "done" means )

 

Now hey, don't start that again...

Perhaps that could also go in the film quotes thread

 

Wouldn’t be against signing this lad, no idea where he fits in though

 

I still like this lad as a no10

 

Not going to lie I wasn’t sure if he was an 8 or a 10 but was impressed with him and Chong against us this season, liked hall too

 

He's a very angry lad. Walking yellow card.

 

Aye he is a 10 or an 8, would be good in both positions

 

Was just about to say that. If he was as good as kicking the ball as he is at kicking players he’d be sound.

 

Most fans of other clubs would be saying exactly this about O'Nien though. They'd be wrong. So we might be about Hannibal. Birmingham fans seem to like him from what I remember and he's very tidy on the ball.

 

Hall is class, would love him to join

 

He looked decent for Birmingham at their place if it’s who I’m thinking of.

My understanding is that Jobe is all boxed off and will be announced on 10th when window opens. This is posted 3 weeks or so ago but there’s better connected lads in here than me to confirm if this is case.

 

Think window opens on 14th this year but wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

 

Aye wasn’t sure of the date just 10th stuck in my head. Regardless that’s what I heard and that’s what I can see happening.

 

jobe on my birthday would be lovely

 

I trust our recruitment. Aside from JD,which was more driven by sentiment I think, there's only been the German goalie and the Swedish defender from West Ham who haven't settled. We got into an unforseen situation last January...not of our making...when Everton's crisis led to Ellis being recalled and then a severe injury to LND,but we didn't panic..went for Joffy..and still very nearly got reward we weren't expecting. It seems to me we are being well run.
All the info we have suggests Bellingham is done and Semedo has been here last week. if they come off,both seem great signings to me,fitting our model absolutely and addressing positions we need strengthening.
Behind the scenes,SD gone,KLD and JS in control,not Saudi well-heeled,but still very,very well heeled and with a plan to progress.
Loving being a proud supporter of this wonderful club!
