CB Fry

It's starting to, yes. It is starting to look, more and more, that the club are stringing fans along. If they're not (and I count myself as someone that still, just, thinks they're not) then someone might want to teach Les, Ron, Ralph and Co about the practice of "under promise and over deliver". For our friend from the World Economic Forum it might be worth a chapter in a future book. In German/French only, of course.

Tuesday counts as the weekend, right?

Pretty much all football clubs deal in the medium term future with every decision they make, TDD.

Think that was Les Reed, and he most recently said it in an interview post-Cortese. As someone else pointed out, Cortese sanctioned plenty of loan deals. Maybe he just pretended to rip them up and throw them in the bin, but agreed to loaning Papa Waigo anyway.

Really don't think we need to be signing other club's 17 year old promising wingers on loan. We've got the "promise" department sewn up. Let's have some players with some working experience of actual professional football, please.

Guan doesn't confirm signings. The club does. And thanks for spluttering opinions you have decided I have and getting annoyed about. I haven't discredited him or called "the rest of his information trash". And, thanks for the lesson about other perspectives, but I think it was me who mentioned the world of other sources out there. And I'm not the one that thinks a forum contributor "confirms signings". This time, not even a nice try.

I said his stuff is "just noise" - another voice to go along with the press, TV and Radio and social media. Of no greater value. There's nothing in anything I wrote that carries any expectation that Guan or anyone on this forum is, or needs to be, omniscient. So nice try, but a pointless come back.

Compketely unnecessary attack on a long standing and excellent member of this forum.

What the eff is the wessex dragon?

No, it's not really a plan. It's a joke. There isn't a Celtic plan. There is a jokey three line post on a Celtic fan site, though.

I guess there are a few three month old babies gutted they weren't around for last season's eighth place finish. They all make more sense than you do, though.

Us refusing to be crap in pre season really has ruined a lot of people's fun on here, but at least the "meaningless" line gets wheeled out anyway.

Would be mental for us to spend nine or ten mil on a substitute goalkeeper. I think Boruc could walk if and when we sign Forster.

Aren't they taking one of our cast offs? Don't really understand why you think we're bring done over here - it's not like Ossie was much cop in Italy last season.

Isn't getting shot of Osvaldo precisely what we want?

If anyone wants the dictionary definition of disingenuous, then here we are. Blimey.

You wait until Sept 1st if you want to see a furious uprising of utter dins.

Didn't we get to eighth on the back of signing one player with significant Premier League experience? And two more with some experience in a relegated team, but we signed them in the NPC as NPC players.

If you are Crab Lungs this kind qualifies as "stuff that would make you eyes water if only you knew" and how the club is, like, a disgraceful shambles and evil and everything. To the rest of humanity just a handful of stroppy players looking for any excuse to double their money but appear like the oh-so-wronged helpless innocent party. If only Les Reed had never broken Lallana's heart he would never have even considered signing for Champions League Liverpool.

Possibly better than hier apparent Blind though. Or have you got him down winning the Champions League in the next two years?

I think Delldays premise had him taking us to two top ten finishes, winning the League Cup and getting to the Europa League final. I'd like to think so anyway.

1 and 2 is pretty ingenious on your part. Nonsense. I gave up after that.

He'd have been in coaching managing for 20 odd years in a couple of years time. Sounds about right for that kind of move. Glad that's all sorted. Who's the next England manager?

The clue was in the fact that Batman said "two years time".
