    Yep. He was good value. Hopefully he feels like popping in again.

    But if he feels a spell away is a good thing, it's a good thing. I'm more sporadic myself, suits me champion.

    These transfer threads aren't bad mind, as long as they are taken for what they are. A bit of crack , a bit of gossip and a bit of wishful thinking.

    And of course, names of players I have never heard of!

    Leeds have also gone for players with size and power. We are going for players with good technical ability first and foremost.

    It’s like they’re going to battle their way from relegation and we are going to try and play our way out. Different approaches, on the face of it.

    Quote of the year from RTG <laugh>

    "OTR is full of fantasists."

    As far as I know there are absolutely no ITK posters on this forum, I've had nothing to post about Sunderland since KLD took over.

    'Malaga' posted about a brief chance encounter with Xhaka, on a business trip, but it was not really anything more than we already know.

    I passed on the details and that was my only involvement ...

    ... incredible how desperate, and lacking in their lives, people must be to concoct these huge stories about ITK's, flight plans and what's swirling round their minds.

    Never mind, I've kept them posting about monorails and art dealers for two days so far, I reckon there's another fortnight left in this <laugh>

    Anyone else find it weird that we haven’t heard a single thing about the Xhaka deal in days, everyone’s just guessing that we’re still in talks but nothing concrete has come out about what’s been happening

    Most of what’s on here is usually posts from journalists about what’s going on. Barely is it a ****ty post with a **** source. I post as much as I can to keep people updated on here and I’ve started to not bother posting **** sources and only sticking to reliable journos. Andy on twitter does a good job of reposting stories about us on there and I post those here too

    There was a very pretty 6'2" policewoman on the train back from Waverley on Saturday ...

    ... I wouldn't have approached her when I was twenty tbh, you'd need some balls to chat her up <laugh>

    RLB spoke on it yesterday saying he wouldn’t comment on it specifically but the team is working very hard behind the scenes to sign players

    NOT A LINK:
    Hopefully that clears up any confusion, Belgian pro league has started up again this weekend and seems to be a market we have been exploring. The 2 keepers that were loosely linked both got man of the match in their respective games.

    Just thought it was impressive the young midfielder at anderlecht Nathan De Cat started at 17 and looked comfortable.

    Surely De Cat would make a good black cat?

    That's why I don't bother with transfer threads tbh ...

    ... the ratio of facts/guesswork is way too small.

    Even Romano gets it wrong too often which just winds some people up.

    It's fun, to a degree, but can get really messy.

    Bochum vs Leverkusen at 17.00 today. I wonder whether Xhaka is involved.

    I’d be very surprised if he wasn’t, considering he's still their player. Hopefully his last game there…

    Xhaka starting for Leverkusen, so obviously a fair way from being done

    All it says is he’s a Leverkusen player and not a Sunderland one
