Respect to him if he genuinely wants to work and try to force his way into our first team.

Ahhh. Must admit I haven't listened to it; the 'no more signings' seemed to be the message I picked up here. (I generally try to get my news second hand, and based on rumour and hearsay. It gives me the chance to make assumptions and get nice and angry without the effort of doing my own research).

So the message from the fans forum was that we're done with transfers now? If so, a pretty decent window. Gut feels says we'll see more movement though. Presumably a late window 'wasn't available before' type, like Minamino was. Plus a Vesty replacement - surely he's going to move on. So I'm optimistically predicting 2 more signings.

Although make sure you have zip-up or button-up pockets.

A former nickname for JV was 'Bubbles'. This may contribute to his fondness about a potential move tthere.

I understand that we are automatically given a 1 goal lead as a reward for wearing this.

Shame we didn't nip in and grab him.

This clearly can't be an 'Insane' signing, since we've had one of those. So if it happens I suggest we use: 'Mindwarping'.

Do we think he will fail it, like the internet told us had with Palace last week?

So potentially Armstrong and a highly rated Chelsea youngster as our new striking options. Do we expect there to be less negativity on here now?

Huge pecs. Massive.

There were two of them!

I was there! Will there be a streaker today?

Forgot about that. I am confident that our travelling fans will rise above any temptation to mention it though.

We've done some decent business this window, in getting rid of some deadwood, and new signings. Tino was a unexpected surprise that came from nowhere; although we'd been in discussions since March I don't recall any rumours about him. I am much more confident in our transfer dealings this window than in past years. Surely the Greek guy would be brought in as an option (i.e. not the main man)? Adams/Tella/Greek guy + another? (Long/Obi out; Redmond nowhere near a CF role). Wonder if we'd go for a buy/buy-back option for the young guy at Arsenal (don't remeber his name....the one who was out of contract this summer, but re-signed)?

Didn't RH shape his RB Leipzig team from young, hungry, fast players? Be nice to replicate things here.

The dominatrix?

Surely we'd have finalised the Armstrong deal before the Ings sale, if we really wanted him? No good reason not to. So maybe there's another out of the blue, Tino style signing on the way?

So no comments from RH or the club on the small number of subs?

Disappointing that he has gone to Villa, and not the CL club he said he wanted. But it's decent money, and I do have confidence that we'll reinvest wisely. Besides, we've seen the best of Ings. Face the truth: that hairline is dissolving rapidly.

Thought I'd reshare the only gif I have ever created:

Can someone post the Ron Burgundy "That escalated quickly" gif? I think it would make us all feel better.

Was Williams a decoy for Tino (does that happen?), a backup option? Or our first choice all along? (Maybe we didn't expect Tino)? Seems strange we chased for so long and switched at the last minute. Unless we want him aswel?!

Like it.

So Tino in, that's RB/LB cover sorted. Armstrong in, with Obi leaving. Hopefully alongside Ings (i.e. if Ings goes we get another striker); or is that too much to hope for? A no. 6 was menioned by RH a few days ago (presumably to add numbers, not replace existing)? That'd be a decent window. Assuming we do replace Ings/Vesty if they go.
