Whitey Grandad

As I've posted before, I think there are obscure accountancy reasons for preferring loans to outright purchase, it's a bit like buying your car on a lease instead of paying cash.

I never though I'd see the day when we were throwing these sorts of figures around. Don't forget that the buying club usually pays the agent's fees too so you can add another 10% to these buying costs.

Too soon to tell. We've chucked in our stack of cards and had a re-deal. Let's see if this lot turns out better. I have a sneaky feeling that the shake up is what the club needed but I expect a few more ups and downs before we get a settled team. Please to see that we haven't lost any more regulars (apparently) but a little disappointed with the loss of Gastón. It'll be interesting to see how he does for Hull.

Did we pinch him fromSpuds? http://metro.co.uk/2014/09/01/tottenham-set-to-sign-sadio-mane-as-agent-arrives-in-england-ahead-of-11-8m-transfer-4852728/

Unlikely. Hull were knocked out last week.

Disappointed

Gloating is so undignified, I'd rather we didn't. Unless your name's Gloatboy of course.

Do they count as a 'mid-table club? I saw a reference to a £4m loan fee required for him.

Or not Toe-bee? That is the question.

That's the idea. They run around a lot shaking up a settled defence thus creating opportunities for others,

No, he probably found out it was a Ryanair flight to London landing in Belfast

Euros, not pounds, so it's even less. A mere pittance

Are you sure it was an eel?

That's the bit where the sun shines

'Bint' is an Arabic word, and 'one complete knob' could be translated as 'mass willy' so don't be too sure.

At least if we get him he won't score a match-winning goal against us again.

They only do that when they're about to leave for their spiritual home or their boyhood dream or if their head's somewhere else.

Rubbish, I'm still here, and so are some of my mates

An dross Townsend today.

They called us a 'bag of weasels'. I quite like that

No, only 23 until the window blows shut.

I thought Alderweireld was the name of an airport?

Fortunately I watched extended coverage on Sky's Saturday night choice thingy.

We can't possibly know that, I doubt it made the slightest difference.
