Sure enough, the CoT has the insights and everyone else has the guesswork. Don't we all have thick skins from supporting Saints? The banter is top level.

See we disrespected the COT and 2 signings that nobody had seen coming are here, but if COT had been given the respect that Trump craves we would have had the inside track on these.

Hmmm

A boomerang comes back to its place of origin? Former player?

Parked bus/coach could indicate solid, stationary, defensive, or the turning circle of a bus, slow. There’s two, double barrelled name?

Or a coach coming in?

14 could be a squad number? Or the number of years since a former player left.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin left 14 years ago…

A twist in the deal with West Ham offering Ward Prowse alongside cash for Fernandes? Debuted for us 14 years ago, has a double barrelled name. Would be a bit past it one reckons, can he still press like the Ralph days 🤔

'Big Green Coaches' are the official travel partner to Tottenham Hotspur... Which made me think of Hojbjerg, but he didn't wear the number 14 shirt... Hmm. Might be Dusty Bin after all.... 😬

Smashed it yesterday

18 likes on one post

17 lols on another

7 lols on another

I didn't count them all up but must have been about 100 in total

Doubt anyone on here has got that many in a day

much like on here the answer is yes, apart from a handful of jealous and bitter individuals. It's a shame i dont drink much anymore as if buying me a drink was the equal of lols on here i'd be pissed all the time (which perhaps explains why i dont drink much anymore)

I'd buy you a drink, but I'm mean and so 'Id probably go around the pub and pour the leftovers of the glasses into one for you. Lols on here are what gives you the energy to fight on, I don't get many and so that shows how popular my thoughts are lol

I'd take a apple juice at Wetherspoons off you Nick, or even a glass of tap water just to feel popular in the real world. We could hang out and be proper mates in real life too. Are you attending the Patriots march on the 13th in London? We could get the train together

That would be good but Im not into going on marches, not that im against the principles they are asking for.

My experience of meeting people from here Farmer Saint and all the wonderful lads I managed who played in both Saintsweb matches were fantastic,

The return of Dean Hammond

I'd also have Niemi back as a goalkeeping coach.

In fact I'd have him back as Number 1 ahead of Baz

[swannymere]

I feel a responsibility on behalf of those of us who are ITK to hold the COT to account for their very poor predictions of what the clubs transfer policy was during this window. What are the excuses for the continued poor performance of the COT? Does it need shutting down? They're always quite vocal about the managers falling on they're swords.

He’s got another season in him surely? I’d rather he came back as a player. A bit of a season like Lallana last year. 

[Ted Bates Statue]

If it is Walcott or Romeu returning 2 coach I'll be very disappointed that a more entertaining clue wasn't used like a wall and a cot or an oriel window. These are the important things that matter so much to me right now while we wait to see how many of our signings are actually any good and I find out whether it's worth bothering to learn the names of the ones I never heard of until they signed for us.

as you will see from previous posts, the CoT removed themselves from this forum due to the ungrateful and attitude and in some cases abuse received. We post our information elsewhere now to a more receptive audience. However i thought i'd tease you with this little one right at the end of the window.

OK,  could be new GK and DM. Jander is a 4. We just brought in a 3rd choice 1. That would be underwhelming. 

I prefer the Romeu angle.

Unless it's a 10 plus a 4?

I didn't realise the COT were such delicate souls. Please accept my apology.

[OldNick]

I woud like to get it straight, IMHO the COT is 100% correct after the event. That is great credit to them to provide such accurate info and I hope they will continue giving us these updates.

Matt Ryan, 14 appearances for Lens last season (hence the French-made coaches). Boomarang self-explanatory.
