Please explain?

Bollocks - I was consoling myself a fraction with the thought that at least Leonard had fallen through.

It's called ambition Parson. I feel for you trailing round the Country watching us when the Regime couldn't care less about success or results and even work to actively destabilise us.

Has the Birmingham lad been confirmed?

Was going to post the same, the fax machine will work absolutely perfectly and there won't be a typo or a spelling mistake in sight.

Just not at 18.34 when the window closes at 19.00.

If the Birmingham lad came and the rest didn't happen, that wouldnt actually be that bad.

That will probably go over a lot of heads. 🙂

You havent said anything whatsoever - that's why Im asking. All you've said is Mercer is bullshitting. Id like to know WHY you think that's the case. e.g. I know a man who knows a man and "He doesn't want to leave" "This hasnt been brewing at all" "There's nothing in it" Whatever it may be.

Bennett? Fucking hell.............

And what is he saying?

Probably if Baradji's medical condition hadn't come to light, Tronstad would have gone as well and they'd have had a full house. And to think early in the window certain people were crowing about how much money was allegedly being "spent".

How do you know it's incorrect?

Spot on. I can see it, you can see it, presumably everyone else can see it but Football Club Executives paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a year seemingly can't. This scheme of Pasha and Gestede's to get rid of Eustace and repace him with willing patsy VI and then jettison the bulk of a squad that finished seventh last season has always had a whiff of deliberate sabotage about it. Is it now starting to turn into an overpowering stench?

*Tumbleweed*

I had the same feeling when Tavares was signed and then we were linked with Baradji. I dont think that the original intention would have been that either of those two were brought in to sit on the bench, I reckon they were the Tronstad/Travis replacements but the situation was then complicated by Baradji's medical situation.

What a good post. Sums it all up.

Agreed, last season, although with Batth you've always got the gamble of "Is this the season where his legs finally go" etc. Would have been fine to retain both or retain Batth and upgrade on Hyam. IF Hyam goes that'd be the entire back line from last season wiped out. Beck/Hyam/Batth/Brittain. If Carlsberg did plans to get a Club relegated..........

Selling him without replacing him at this stage would be lunacy. Id have been all for replacing him with someone better earlier in the window, but, logistically, what can we do now before 7p.m.?

You can foretell disasters in advance?

Agreed, Im not a particular fan of Hyam, BUT even I would say that selling him at this stage of the window would be spectacularly suicidal just for the sake of pocketing a couple of million. If it happens we'll probably get a short term loan in then the money will be pocketed and a long term replacement will be conveniently forgotten about come the next window. Just as a permanent replacement for Travis will be forgotten about when Baradji goes back.

The Pears thing is really odd. Even if he is "Hair transplant guy" how bad can it be? Surely he could at worst play with a protective cap or dressing on. Can't understand him being frozen out to the extent he isn't even being considered as back up. Did he stick up for Lesley as well?

Don't think so. You can sign players outside the window who are free agents.

Just looked him up. We paid £1.1m for him in 2011 when in the Premier League and he made 1 appearance before being loaned out in 2012 to Stevenage then Oldham/Rotherham/Ross County and Port Vale before having his contract terminated in 2015. Guess his agent would have been happy enough.

Ok fair enough. Id still rather any available funding was put towards someone who can contribute now.
