Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

not again

 

Someone explain the dancing men - is this 3 separate instances or could it be 1 very very good thing?

 

who are you including in the bomb squad because I think fringe players like Triantis, Hjelde, Alese, Huggins, Seelt all might find loans by the end of the window

 

The trouble is mate, this kind of stuff very quickly starts to sound like Vicky Pollard if you’re not careful …

 

Absolutely ridiculous

 

On the face of it, it doesn't make sense. However, I do wonder if there is a thing where left footed players are less likely to balance out their ability on their 'wrong' foot. With righties they are more likely to be placed all over the pitch. With left footed players (particularly defenders) they get pigeonholed to that left side - so the incentive to round it out is lessened. Omar looks to be completely left footed from the little I've seen. Lucumi less so, but we'd need him to be comfortable on his right if we were going to go with the two of them as a pair IMO.

 

Just the proper bomb squad. We might need all them plus more to find moves to keep things south of 30

 

An Ode to @Juan4754

O Juan, whose whispers cut through rumour’s haze,
You see the truth in the transfer maze.
From Wearside’s shore your visions fly,
Deals live or die beneath your eye.
Long may your prophecies light our way,
’Til champions league dreams are ours one day.

here endeth the ode

 

I fell foul of this last week. I think it's 3 separate events.

 

Any context to this at all, or?

 

It's just a wind up.

 

Whilst it is ridiculous, it seems like the only possible result. File before a date. Failure to file results in punishment. The excuse about not checking the right email just makes them look tinpot. Where it definitely IS ridiculous is the pearl-clutching from UEFA over MCO arrangements. They're completely not arsed in truth. This whole thing is performative.

Palace do now have a decent chance of being European winners now, though. So at least there's a bit of a bright side

 

Begone non believer

 

Eloquent!

 

If you believe that I know of a fantastic religion/cult based on the pulp fiction writing of L Ron Hubbard that would love to speak to you.

You'll be going clear in no time.

 

we are winning the lot

 

I prefer to think of myself more of the Bene Geserrit influenced cults (Mua’dib!)

 

Don't blame you. Herbert was the much better writer between the two.

 

Also happy RTB Premier League Match Day Thread week. Felt a long way away when I first started posting on here maybe 5 years ago. Hopefully be a cracker
