Eamon i heard from one reporter that Arry is covering all options i.e (if crouch fails we go back for Odeinwonga).
Ahhhh, now here's where 'arry finds out that not only do we not have enough decent players, but we also have no one who can complete contract paperwork in the right manner.
I would like to be openly thanked in type for the work I have done in bringing in Chris Samba to our club. It wasn't easy but Chris and I had a chat and he then saw the vision I also plan to talk to David later Peter is on line 2 now I am also trying to sign Solly March from Brighton who used to be in my five a side team I will take bets now that Solly will at for England but first insider knowledge tells me he is about to make his first team debut at Brighton by the end of the season He is set to become the best midfielder in the country ... Taught him all he knows
Fax machines? Lets bring this up to date......Interactive Transfer Deadline Day.... ..buy players on e-bay, on line auction, strict deadline, all bids, responses and counter bids visible to the public, accredited fans (Clive Whittingham excluded, byte rationing) get to voice opinion/ vote on bids as they progress (at what point does a transfer fee or salary package become bad business - have your say!) Independent doctors at all grounds for medicals, cut out the helicopter **** (and greener!). FA and immigration sponsored to clear all paperwork as quickly as possible, from their 'nerve centre' in Bracknell. Spread betting on the fastest/ slowest processing of paperwork. Ray Winstone our 24/7/365 host. League table for agents fees. Winner gets put in the stocks at half time in FA Cup Final. I'm onto something here, should take it to Sky. It'll be so popular Sky will demand a monthly 3 day transfer window, then we'll all get bored of it. Result. In the real world in some countries, companies and governments place massive tenders in exactly this way - on line bidding from providers who meet the qualifying criteria.......suspect this is how G4 got the Olympics job. Due diligence my arse.
Nooooo. Couldn't stand Jim "I can only shout" White every month. He thinks that by shouting all the time it makes what he has to say very important. The only thing it does is get on my tits. JW (shouting) "Breaking news - and this one's a biggy - Torquay aren't going to sign anyone in this transfer window. Over to our correspondent with a 3 man production team in Torquay to tell you exactly what I have just told you, but in a slightly different way." Cue to presenter holding a mic and and with a finger stuck in his ear, surrounded by group of "supporters" waving their ASBOs around and making rude gestures to the camera. "Er, yeh ... what you said Jim".
I know a bloke who is a Sky Sports camera man. Except he isn't - they are all self employed, have to buy their own kit, which costs thousands, and Sky changes the spec frequently adding to the burden. I thought it would be a great job, until he told me the reality - driving to Torquay for a 15 second post edit talking head, then to Middlesbrough for the same. Still, confirms all my prejudices about Sky, which is nice.
