    Safe to say we've been unlucky with Mendy, the lad was virtually posting his own scarf pics. An unexpected takeover was just about the only thing that could have scuppered it.

    Agree with the rest and the general sentiment.

    When we were looking for a coach, we were awash with ITK almost hourly with the latest info. Serious question, what are they hearing on the transfer front ????

    I love the 'only sign players on frees' argument. It's ridiculous. Its like saying if we'd signed Browne for £3m, he'd be a good signing, and a statement of intent. But because he's on a free, he's ****e.

    it’s almost as if the very late leak of the poveda move has pissed them off resulting in some strong internal conversations about leaks and the shutters have come down

    well either that or we haven’t actually got any irons in the fire transfer wise :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Tbf like BronzeBummer told of us of interest in ugbo before it got reported so it’s still around just doesn’t seem to be much going on

    Don’t think anyone whatsoever has said that the signings we’ve made are ****e because they’re free? Or I certainly can’t remember a single comment from anyone saying that. But if you say you’re going to get promoted quickly we all know the common way to do that is to throw money at it, something we aren’t prepared to do so what’s the point in saying it?

    If you had a budget of £20m for arguments sake and signed a player that you valued at £10m on a free, would you then only have a budget of £10m remaining?

    Sorry, but classing Donald Love as a footballer is stretching reality, let alone a wing back!!

    Good shout. Shame they’re managed by a clown like Parkinson - still can’t believe he was at Sunderland.

    Surprised by this, I must admit. I thought Chelsea were crying out for some experience up top to support Jackson…

    No, you'd be really glad you'd got £10m of assets for nothing and consider whether the £10m saved could be invested elsewhere in the business

    No doubt he’ll start being a regular in the England squads if he signs for Spurs…
