Just back from a 10 day sailing break to Gibraltar, expecting us to have 'done some business' only to find that we havnt signed anyone yet. ! Whats going on ?! By this time last season we had signed about 30 players !
Oh, and also come back from 29c to flood warnings,rain, and putting the heating back on. ! However, roll on Euro games today and the GP.
Welcome back Stu - sounds lovely! Somewhat startling day in the Test Match today... No signings. No problem. Chrissy is "chillaxing" (deary me) and calmly considering his options. One or two extra wouldn't go amiss, though.
We're waiting for Euros to finish, as we did not want to interrupt the Spanish sides tournament preparations
Well we all saw what happened when he talked to a few of the Dutch lads a follow up call to Van Percy about a house in Chislehurst and Robin get so excited that he can't even kick the ball! I gather we haven't scouted Percy because Chris can remember his goal at the Valley a couple of seasons ago
If you notice, all the divisions are extremely quiet. I understand the Euros are a distraction, but I can never remember it being this quiet. No doubt something to do with the fact that football is belatedly waking up to financial responsibility right across Europe, the odd Russian or Asian billionaire excepted. The national dailies are filling columns with reports of Div One and Div Two squad players switching clubs which would never have got a mention in any previous season.
Expect two players to come in the next 10 days.You will be underwhelmed by one and the other is one for the future.
Darrel Russel I'm assuming is the one we'll be underwhelmed by, dunno about the one for the future though.
