On another thread, someone says SSN reported that we've given up on Byram and Rojo.

Excellent, someone else who supports my version of events, and gives me hope it wasn't senility setting in. Definitely at the Archers Rd end as well where he hit the post.

Alan Ball.

Yes - last season I think.

Yes - in the 1980's.

Some supporters on that footage will be seriously embarrassed by their hairstyles and fashion of the day ! That game v Spurs was a bit of an anti-climax really, as we'd secured promotion midweek at Orient ( at the time proud to say I was there when the wall collapsed). Would have been good to go up as champions, and deprive spurs of promotion at the same time. Didn't particularly like spurs then, and nothing has changed since. I thought Funnell hit the post in the first half rather than late on.

Yes, at the time it seemed very strange to sell him as I think we had high expectations that he'd make it in Division One. There was a rumour that he left after being involved in a car accident and losing a bit of the desire to stay down south. Great shame as his career went nowhere after he left. On the other hand it may be that Lawrie did not think he'd cut it in the first division. Tony Funnell was another one who did the job asked of him, then disappeared off the scene.

Is this the first sign of a sulk coming on ?

thanks for that, always interesting to read the view from the former club.

RK looking a little more dapper than Poch used to.

Is the Bayer CB we were linked to earlier in the week, Wollscheid, playing for them today?

& Matt Oakley playing.

Who is Joe Batchelor ?

Perhaps he's already demanded a move

Not necessarily that easy, we can convince Sporting/owners to sell, but then have to convince player of our ambition and why joining would be a good move for him.

Three at the back ? Add in the fact Gardos style might earn him a few suspensions as well. Despite what many state about Rojo, and the signing of Bertrand I could see Rojo ending up at LB for a few games as well.

Hopefully, we'll "leave it".

I'd suggest: We shouldnt let him go unless the offer is stonking and someone other than Spurs pay top price

Definitely in the starting line up for L/pool, take out their CB with the tattoos at a corner if you can... Think we will need another CB as we'll have to prepare for the fact this bloke may be suspended from time to time.

I don't think we've been in for him to be honest, which is a shame.

Where's the watch ? Perhaps NC took them with him. Good news, not before time. Just want Cork to sign up as well now* *and a GK, CB, and new striker.

But according to one report this morning we are still some way off in meeting Celtic's valuation of £9m.

You would hope and expect so, but if we see VVD disappearing off the target to join Swansea it will be disappointing.

Fair point, hope you're correct.

Why not stop fannying around with this and make a sensible bid ? Or are we intent on completing this on deadline day ? Exactly.Even if we have a bid accepted we still have the small matter of him agreeing terms, or farting around whilst awaiting a better offer. Biggest concern for me is that while we chase this deal, we lose other more realistic targets.
