Normally I'd get excited about that but as it's probably going to be Alex Bruce...........I'll not! BTW LMT if you don't mind I think that tweet deserves it's own thread.
Ben Watson was subject to one of the funniest chants I've heard at a football match, when we played them at the DW a few years ago. He was taking a corner in front of us: "You're just a **** Steve Sidwell!" Made me chuckle anyway
Just been Reading The sunderland boards cause im a bit of a saddo, Seems Meylers staying at Sunderland now, that might explain our reported interest in Buszacky. Another player id like to see join us, Did Well when Hughesy played him for QPR last season. Would add more quality and depth instead of relying on a hot and cold Cairney or a just cold Oli as back up to Koren Does seem like he's trying to bring another attack minded midfielder in with the links to Watson and Buszacky.
Buszacky will not be a back up to Koren. He is a quality footballer; who can get into any first team in the Championship. If we sign him, I think one of our midfielders will be going.
Is there actually a reported interest? I thought it was more that a number of people on here would like us to sign him.
That's usually how the rumours start! I might start a thread about signing Messi, and an article should pop up on the Daily Fail about Bruce potentially putting in a loan bid for Lionel Messi.
Out of curiosity: When does the transfer window close? And does the loan window close at the same time......?
I think transfer window closes Friday 31st August. Loan window also closes then but pretty sure it re-opens a week or so later.
Why isn't this a sticky anymore? Anyway, rivals: Forest have been making defensive recruitments with Danny Collins a good capture, according to Sky they're set to make moves for Greg Halford and Damien Delaney. ...Leeds continue to keep 'buying' (or should that be taking?) Pompey's best players, with Ashdown, Pearce and Varney, it looks like they're about to sign Norris - who scores a fair bit, so a good signing for them. Signing 4 players from the same team will probably help them gel quickly too. We've got a mention on a Crystal Palace story - http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/7939177/Eagles-close-in-on-Allart Dougie Freedman is a shrewd manager, £300k could be a bargain... Freedman:
Transfer window closes on 31st August, Loan window is later but the rules are more complicated as the tiers differ so you'll probably have to ask Ricardo - he seems to be the expert on everything technical
I'm not sure about that, I think loans stop at the same time as the full transfer window but they restart again something like a week later until something like mid-November.
The transfer window is 1st July to 31 August, then there's the emergency loan window(for everyone but the Premier League clubs), which is open from 8th September to 25th November.
