Of course not, it's the summer. 1st October - May 1st only. Laziness will most likely ensure it's return come Autumn.

I'm still in contact with him.

Disagree, he was a very clever fella. Irrational yes, but clever nevertheless.

You'll need a tartan blanket to go with the flask in your new seats.

It's because the season ticket money is effectively being escrowed. We could have done the same.

Mentally ill, seriously.

We both know that bit's true.

I told you lot all along that he really wanted a NW club but it would seem that Everton simply can't afford him without selling 1st and their priority is to shift Cahill and get Piennar back, or so I'm led to believe.

I've just moved to the Northam so my lad can stand and sing so you'll see next years styling week in week out, don't try to keep up, few can.

Might go over as a jolly. Nice part of the world.

Been away for a week in the sun. Anyone want to sum up events I've missed in a paragraph?

It's in the thread.

TBF most folk would crawl over broken glass to get out of Burnley.

He's just a nipper with a close family and it's not as if we are the only offer he will get.

Yes, just that, or a version of. Burnley aren't party to the discussions but talking to my oppo tonight he believes that may be what's on the table.

Burnley = A post industrial town in Lancashire. Oppo = mate. It's forces term.

Stoke are back in for Jarvis. Very surprised if we match their wages.

This is all I know. He is adamant that he doesn't want to leave the area and his family (apparently they are very close) so he really wants a club where he can commute. I've been saying this since I was told last year & as far as I know that hasn't changed. However, my Burnley oppo reckons that we may have offered a deal that includes stuff for his family/girlfriend in Soton. He's only a young lad remember and I believe Sunderland did similar when Wickham went north.

The owner is unimpressed with his previous managers' signings, bar Darren Bent.

Way bigger than us and anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

Villa aren't spending apparently. If that changes with a new manager who knows.

If or when he gets an offer from AN Other, which means he doesn't have to move away, we are out of the game. He has reiterated that he really doesn't want to move despite all of our courting, which I've been told has impressed all at Turf Moor as has our professionalism. It may all ride on what we offer his girlfriend / family in terms of relocation.

Told you, he wants to stay in the north. He's in no rush. Hopefully we still get him but if we don't? Meh.

Yep.

I'm leaving the country for a week away from all the Royalist crap.
