Ah, so that's more like it. Bologna are cash strapped so want a loan to the value of what we are willing to pay for Ramirez but the banks know they don't have any cash/assets so it's the bank wanting the guarantee that we will pay Bologna the money. Slightly ironic IMHO but Italy are in the ****e finacially....

Stop putting your ego first and get the deals for the players we want done Nothing about ego here, **** me if I'd offered to buy something on the tick and they suddenly demanded guarantees off my future wealth then I'd be pretty peeved too... No, no, no, no what has he ever done to prove that he is worth more than tuppence ha'penny a week??

Heaven's no, Johnson is in no way worth €18m. Mind you with Sinclair off to Citeh to be a bench warmer I bet Johnson feels his bench warming position is under threat. Can't you add a "Maybe" option ;-)

Atl Gr and 4 €€€€€€

M'lud may I present Exhibit 'A' for the perusal of those jury members who have already decided the outcome of the trial!!

I tried to talk to him at the Player's Sponsor's Dinner in our relegation year. He was slightly inebriated and I couldn't understand a word he said. I just kept nodding at what seemed the appropriate points... Edit : Similar to what I'm doing with these google translates.....

Neil McCann, that's who!!!

You forget the Scottish guy we had whose name totally escapes me for the moment. It's all his fault.

I have changed my Avatar to demonstrate my levels of excitement at this rumour (maybe only posters with young children will understand the reference!!)

......is good news, maybe, possibly

Can't argue with the QPR comments but £15m for Steven Fletcher is because that is what the club value him at, obviously they don't want him to leave so they put a ridiculous price tag on his head. I would be very surprised if anyone was to hand over that sort of dosh for him, and if he wanted to leave he'd hand in a transfer request.. Can you really, honestly and truthfully, say, at the stage his career was at, AO-C was worth the fee (was it £10m) Arsenal paid for him??

Yeah, I gave up following FourthOfficial ages ago......

Why? As long as we score more goals than the oppo we'll be fine

Good point, note to Don Cortese, do *NOT* invite Gaston over to watch the Citeh game from the Directors box!! 30% of any profit we make from him?? Does that mean if we sell him on at a loss they have to give us 30% of that loss. I see from the article quoted earlier the actual fee is €14m with "bonuses", maybe it's the bonuses they want guarantees on! Charging order on SMS anyone??

But they won't go ****ing mental, as you so eloquently put it, because they are now being run by an Administrator who's remit *IS* to run the company within it's means. IF TB started to make (financial) matters worse (can they get worse?) I'm sure he'd be out on his ear...

Don't think so, strangely enough this was posted on the Ramirez thread

Sorry, I meant Buttner and his dad......

Buttner and Vitesse....

If we don't pull off both of these deals then we're gonna suddenly go from having very few whingers to being overloaded with them!!

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11681/7988552/Dembele-on-Real-radar On this it says Dembele's agent has been talking to Real about his availability etc, is that not tapping up?? I do not recall seeing anything that says Fulham have accepted a bid from Real!!

May I please add Blackburn under Jack Walker to that list? Bought the title (just) and then fell away when he didn't want to/couldn't spend anymore...

The *LOAN* deadline if for tomorrow, but you can only sign so many players on loan.....

I work in the public sector so I have plenty of time

I wasn't! It's too far east from where I spent my formative years (Krefeld, Rhiendhalen and Kent School)
