God i am hoping that was tongue in cheek

I agree in principle Tac-Tics but the fact is that Pinnacle did waste vital time needed to be negotiating etc with players. These teams have had the extra few weeks being able to talk, assess and sweet talk players into joining. AP has just found out which door leads where in St Mary's. From what i am hearing he is trying his best to sort transfers out but unfortunately mate we are very much on the back foot. We all know we need reinforcements, as does AP. Problem is alot of the teams are ready to move and we are not. have a bit of patience, i believe we will be there or there abouts come kick off, probably not as ready as we could have been but put that down to the numpties that wasted Fry's time

He played nearly the whole of last year at birmingham ?? And played very well

Yeah but TBF he has a LOT to improve. He is a terrible player, almost akin to the one man disaster that was davenport. Clueless slow and rash

Im better then OL

God i long for the day that a 'press conference' thread actually results in one

Lol Good read, i liked the Tiger one

?? He played for Brum ?? I would take him, think he would be very very good in this league. Pards, if you read this, have a look at J.Fortune and DEFO have a look at Mr Shelvey !!!

Didn't really know anything about him, just thought he may be a good trialist ? Thats what i thought about Tyson, surely his games will be limited.

Can we only be spanish teams ??

Good read, especially against Mr Photocopy lol

Been reading about this Seb Carole lad on the Sky Sports free transfer page, looks a decent option, apparantly a nippy winger ?? Any thoughts ?? Anyone know what he is like ?? Maybe worth a trial IMO, either him or that Cambel-Ryce. Seb Carole

Yes but past regimes were letting very good loans and free players pass them by, thats why we were angry, we got left with (mainly) the ****e noone else wanted. Looking at the list there are some very good players available for next to nothing, this has to be addressed first as naturally many clubs will be looking to snap them up and so they won't be around for long. Once AP has addressed the free market i am sure he will move on to the other areas that require quality replacements. Be patient. It is silly to disregard the free ones just because we have the money to spend.

Duffy has signed for Exeter

Danny Webber Nathen Dalfueneso (great shout S-Clark) Scott Sinclair (chelsea- probably never happen IMO) Rui Fonte (whats he like ?? Always seemed good on FM) Amaury Bischoff (again, see above) Raidi Jihadi (old, but if free defo worth looking at, played well in CCC last year) Jonathon Fortune (why is he being released ?? Thought he was a good player) Zengh Zhi (again prob won't happen but rated him) Jonjo Shelvey (go on, we have the funds, Charlton are in the poo, have a cheeky bid) Ricky Lambert (especially if only a Mil) Jermain Beckford (i know he has come of transfer list but why not try) Nathon Tyson Voltz (thought he was quality player, defo DAJ, not seen much interest in him) Sodje (i would snap him up, sometimes a bit clumsy but for league 1 he will be a great signing)

I'd love to but after my first training session back after the all clear from the physio i was involved in a spectacular ronaldo esq failure.

Has there been any word on size ??

One of those things, easy invention, easy money.

Bridge could defo DAJFU, god i hope it's true

How exactly ?? You got to the FA Cup final and fluked it against lower league opposition (as you did most of the cup run) and also played in europe ?? As did we ?? Wow, you also overspent and got yourself in the **** you are in now and were investigated for fraudulent activity ?? That and the fact that gaychops has taken every piece of investment out of the company, (sky, transfer fees etc) to help clear said debts and now you have a bloke as chairman who does not even own the club, or has not got enough cash to properly finance it ?? As for our new owner, no but i wouldn't want him to splash the cash, nice considered spending will do, we have the infrastructure of a PL club. As for youth, are you forgetting the likes of Theo, Bale etc ?? Remind me of your youth recruits again ??

Jamie Hatch ???

Carl Cort ??

Well, new billionaire owner, premiership ground and training facilities, good youth academy, great pedigree of manager, future is safe, massive fan base, 22k turned up for a friendly and no fat drug addicks looking to take more money out of an already financially f*cked club. So ok, hope you enjoyed your brief stint in the prem mind, glass houses and all that.

Tis true you can make a pre-transfer contract and obviously it comes into force when the transfer window opens (so his contract does not start until that point) But not sure about those in the UK market, think you have to wait a little longer
