  1. That'll be the paper cups that just netted the Club a 90 odd million windfall from player sales, plus the hundreds of millions the Club have, and will be receiving for being in the premier league.

     

    Wonder where we'd be right now if Shaw, Lallana and Lovren had all been here on loan.

     

    Shaw and Lallana were here before Cortese.

  2. Is there a law that all our songs have to be to tunes made 30 years ago?

     

    Seen suggestions of Agadoo (highly embarrassing) and now the horrific ear-rape that is Radio Gaga.

     

    Seriously.

     

    Here I was going to suggest a ditty to the tune of "Over There", guess I'll keep that to myself.

  3. Great news , pleased with the signings . Typical saints waiting till the 95th minute to secure all three points .

    They do like to keep us on tenter hooks .

     

    In the profound words of Vin Diesel "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."

  4. If the mane deal doesn't happen we've just ****ed up big time.

     

    I wonder what odds you can get on Gaston getting more than 4 goals in 15 games, which is all that Long managed.

     

    I'm still utterly perplexed as to how we've ended up loaning them Gaston and giving them £12m for Long. Just stop, take a deep breath and think about it. It's a complete **** take.

     

    You mean no one sent you a text about any of this? I thought you were spot on with those texts.....

  5. We do the strangest things. Bruce has done some good business. Like others have said, Hull have got the better of us with this one. Gaston on loan and in return we get Long for £12m. Gaston is a international who played in the world cup whilst Long was searching for four leaf clovers on his holidays in Cork. Bruce must be ****ing himself.

     

    Two appearances for a total of 51 minutes. It's amazing they didn't win the whole thing.

  6. he's often shown what he has, apart from Tadic he is (was) our only truly creative player. Even if its coming on from the bench he gave us something different, and often it was exciting to watch. But there are some who can't see it. Still I suppose it will reduce the number of posts from Austria.

     

    He played an average of 30 minutes an appearance last season. 30 minutes. He had little to no affect on our outcome. Just taking up wage room.

  7. Ok, it's getting late here and so nearly time for bed.

     

    In my secondary life mission (ie to bring the world's worst possible karaoke songs to the Public domain) in the past week I discovered a new song to sing that 1) brings the house down (in more ways than one) and 2) either gets me gallons of free beer for the sheer balls to do it or 3) thrown out for ruining everyone else's evening.

     

    Anyway, that isn't relevant to the Deadline day thread. What IS relevant is that my latest sh1yt song epic actually is one I have been humming most of today while I looked back over many of the posts on our Transfer window thread, some of the Twitter bullkrap of the summer and much of the press stories.

     

    In fact, I may just renew my subscription so that I can repost the link to the song every time one of the batcharlardalpinehyprichmondmans-esaintochondriac etc post over the rest of this season. Oh and of course I'll post a link in the comments section everytime Neil Asstun writes in the Fail.

     

    Enjoy the the late night drama of two more International players joining in what is shaping up to be a bloody good team this year and hum this little ditty every time one of the wums posts their drivel

     

     

    Joe Dolce is the Australian Bruce Springsteen. FACT. Look it up.

  8. Brek Shea, wow that one is from left field! I had him in my fantasy team, mainly because he was so cheap! this one is "thinking out of the box", why him? hmmmmm. A highly regarded young MLS player, He was drafted 2nd overall by FC Dallas in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, had several MOM and team of the week honors during his 2011 season, scoring 11 in 31 games. Full USA international ( Jürgen Klinsmann thinks he is good). Came to PL and done nothing to date. So, can we resurrect his career? a full USA intl that comes good would be a gold mine! the USA market is huge and must be in the forefront of Kreugers mind. He will be cheap and wages will be reasonable. Worth the gamble, if he becomes a star he will be worth 100x the fee. North Americans are getting all the pl soccer (i know its football to us). We have been attracting many admirers for our style and academy, new fans are looking for clubs to identify with. Manu are no longer a easy choice, and many like the underdogs with talent like SFC. This "out of the box" transfer may end up as a stoke of genius.

     

    I can guarantee that signing Shea and playing him every day would gain 0 North American supporters.

  9. Well the yellow flower on the rapeseed disappeared over a month ago, but I stand to be corrected if you can find me a yellow field of rape. Actually, find me a field of rape that hasn't been harvested. We harvested all of ours about 3-4 weeks ago.

     

    :)

     

    Listen mate, don't let that get out. I got a plot of land near Warminster that's an old munition dump that I've been trying to offload for ages. I've almost suckered him in. He thinks he'll make a fortune on rapeseed and Government subsidies.

  10. Koeman likes to build cohesion through team building exercises on the train. He plays "I spy" and calls attention to little known facts/sights in Hampshire and the English country side. Two weeks ago Fonte had no idea what those yellow flowery things were seen growing in farm fields. Now, after the Millwall trip, he's an expert in the cultivation of rapeseed, may even grow a plot himself.

     

    Plus, there's booze on the train.

  11. Sure he is counting down days till it's up

     

    Irene, if Artie Fartie wants out he knows how to do it. Osvaldo, hmmm? Tell him to scissor kick Jos (sorry chap) in the chest and he'll be the star of the Cypriot First Division in a days time.
