Window Cleaner

And whilst on the subject of that very "top level striker". I saw a report that we're meeting with Inter soon because they seem to want a loan deal with a purchase option but we favour an outright sale (who wouldn't) with which thay're not really in accord.

I saw Mou's latest left back signing in a friendly the other day and if I was Mou well I'd be preparing my excuses for the occasion when it becomes evident that I'd signed a pile of crap as well. Still I presume Azpilicueta will still be first choice at LB again anyway. Talking of Chelsea LBs what's happening with Bertrand these days ?

Why I even saw the club's historian (whether that's official or unofficial nowadays I couldn't say) beginning to wonder if those who've apparently hinted to him him that the club is being prepared for sale aren't right after all. Who those people might be I've no idea.

Is he in fact doing the same thing now though, that is the question. Now I may have a dodgy memory but to me Les Reed has never been particularly involved in first team affairs, development yes, sports science yes, but Pardew,Adkins and MP all reported directly to NC, Reed had no great power over them.

what's the point, anyway last call for dinner. Probably unbased anyway, sort it out with DD.

Come on Jamie, you know it didn't say that, unless of course you found the original post, couldn't be bothered to look for it myself.

Get one of the others to do it, try hypo, dinner time for me.

Of course not, Saintslist is not a revolutionary sort of place. It's very down to earth as a rule.

Can't do that, it's not a website, it's a private E mail list....

Don't know if that's possible, might cut and past the post for you though. However do not, and that's do not at all at all post it here.

I'm kind of inciting you to read Saintslist. I didn't start the rumour, don't post there, just read the odd post from time to time. They don't like their material being put up on this forum. However it is not usually a place where wild fantasies abound, bit staid, so for someone to actually write what I saw sort of amazed me.

Toomer will tell you otherwise though, without any further detail of course.

Perhaps he'll do that, I saw a rumour over on Saintslist of late which shocked me a bit, don't know if any of you others saw it and I'm certainly not going to repeat it here. Who knows it might be unbased but someone actually wrote it.

and it's taken you all 2 months to work that out? Free parking,Benali,MLT,FF's book, stripes....well yes I guess you were all just asking to be taken in. Someone somewhere reads what you like and tells you what you want to hear. The voices in the wilderness are just decried and called idiots.

What others ? That might be handy actually, some of them might have a clue about running a top flight football club. Get over here you others.

How many people actually own us then, thought it was just the one.

Crushed...that's about all you can say really. Our poor bowling will never permit us to live with the best in any form of the game just now.

Whether we're intending to keep him or not is of little import, at the last I heard albeit 3rd hand he had absolutely no intention of staying.Now it's just a case of when and how much.

What did i say on the subject yesterday, the're using him to "leak" what they want known, if that wasn't the case he would have been gagged long ago.

Well obviously yes, they're making money, isn't that the aim of all boards. Nigh on 80 million from the PL, 60 odd soon to be 90 odd million in transfer fees, sell a few home made shirts, few STs for another few million. Couple of hundred mill in and far less than half of that out. Club was a gold mine, just needed someone who knew how to turn it into banknotes.

Now going to Liverpool instead of Arsenal wtf is that all about then, apparently it's on Sky, perhaps we saved money on a taxi for he and Lovren today.

Depends on who he has as an agent, certain of them won't do business without one. Not common in UK football though.

perhaps we can't, why do you think Arsenal got Debuchy for 11 million and Liverpool are getting Remy for 8 and a half. It's called a release clause. We surely can't be stupid enough to not accept that some of our players may have them as well. Agents love em.

One day cup starts for us today, away at Derby. Not a great start though because our bowling seems to be taking a bit of a pasting so far, they're 165/2 off of about 28 overs. Assume it's 50 overs a side so at that rate we'll be looking at 270 minimum. Now if we had Bazza and Flats I wouldn't worry about such a meagre target but as it stands..err not so much Edit: Looks like I'd caught a dose of over optimism from the football threads. We're going to be looking at way over 300.

Who would buy Staplewood ? Not much demand for state of the art training centres with one careful lady owner. That will be sold with the shell of the club in a year or so i expect.
