Well that's just pissed all over my joke, cheers!

Hot Mitch Summer spectacularly saved. You're welcome!

This one any better Mr Fussy Pants?

Here you go Wykiki, that should soften the blow.

To me it looks like we want Premier League players but we're unwilling to pay the Premier League tax. No one has any clue on what is really going on behind the scenes but we do know that Eddie stated he wanted to move fast which, for one reason or another, clearly hasn't happened. I'm not arsed about Pedro going to Chelsea to warm their bench whilst collecting massive wages and time will tell whether it was agent games or genuine interest that linked us with him in the first place but the next few days will be very telling. Trafford should be the easiest link to conclude and we'll see if it's one where we, once again, put in tiny incremental bids that fall short of the asking price or if we pay what Burnley want to get our man. Similarly for Elanga, given the player supposedly wants the move. Although, as Forest don't need to sell, I can see that one being one we eventually give up on. Hopefully we've a list of targets from abroad that fall within our price range as the "buy Premiership proven" strategy isn't working out too well for the 3rd (or is 4th now) window running.

They'll promptly close that loophole if/when we decide to do it.

Was that article before the £45mil bid was rejected for Elanga or after? I remember back in the summer of 69, around the time I got my first real six-string, players didn't sell for anywhere near the amount they're going for these days. Moneys gone mental these days, really miss the vibe back then, evenings at the drive-in, playing in a band, those were the best days of my life.

Old man ALL CAPS alert! Anyway, I'm also an old cunt but don't want to be seeing new shit in the Transfers thread that gets my hopes up only to read some bullshit about a band in 1883 that you enjoyed getting jiggy too. Isn't that what the General Bullshit thread is for?

FYP

No, it was Pink Floyd and it was actually released in 1973.

Expect Chelsea to be making a formal offer any time now.
