We signed Dijksteel today.
Cheers for the update Mendi , super helpful that.
So it was always just 2 then when Woody said we were looking at making signings to bolster a "thin" squad. ? I understand thanks dude.
-
"Trying hard to get another signing in" I thought it was signings as Woody said we had a thin squad. Are we now down to 1 signing in the works as other targets haven't come off ?

Hope they buy me a pint
They might negotiate you down to a half pint. Maybe a cheap Fosters shandy they hope will taste like Stella after time.

I reckon Woody, Bevington, Bausor & co will down the pub by 13:00 tomorrow when targets we have , look to be off elsewhere, and we're not prepared to panic over any rash plan B alternatives.

We missed a trick with Dijksteel , we should have given him shirt number 02 and asked a major telecoms provider to chip in with his wages.
Or maybe Mr Whippy could sponsor our new striker if we give him the 99 shirt

This 32Red thing almost reads like 3rd party ownership
We need Bulkhaul to sponsor Britt's wages if we start to sail too close to FFP.
Derby are starting to take the piddle though, and the EFL need to look into dealings like this.

Pimps in Derby are optimistic of a great financial start to the next calendar year.

Personally I don’t think Derby or other clubs doing anything wrong with their business models and oblique internal sales. I blame the EFL who make rules, but then when forced to enforce them interpret them in such a way that it would be clearer and simpler not to have the rules anyway.
imo nothing worse than having a good rule then having it interpreted and enforced by those that don’t and won’t.
I often think the whole "if you can't beat them, join them" on the Stadium sale loophole , but as you only really get 1 go at it the timing needs to be right.
If I understand correctly the FFP measurement is based on the most recent 3 seasons. Looking at our last 3 seasons where 2 of which included parachute payments, I would suggest we are compliant. I've nerded a bit and reckon playing this trump card (if needed) wouldn't be until the 2021/22 season (provided we've not secured promotion beforehand). But I would guess by that time the EFL would have closed such loopholes with rule amendments.
Just thinking out loud.

What if Robbie Brady was a part of the Fry to Burnley deal ?

They are very uncomplimentary towards Middlesbrough. I wonder how many have ever been to the area.
At least he won't need a stab vest to walk down to the local. How any Londoner can call anywhere else a 5 hit-hole is beyond me. 2 bit mockney muppets .

Liverpool in for Heaton apparently , this could see Villa come back for Randz if that goes through.

Thought he had retired? ?
Like a f a r t in a lift , he just lingers and never really leaves.

Not sure if we were ever really serious about Grosicki from Hull, but just read his agents comments that they plan to see out the final year of his contract at Hull, hopefully impress at next years Euros and get a new club with a bumper pay deal (he'll be 32 then). Sounds a bit risky , and also like a money grabbing so-and-so, but I guess careers are short and they need to make hay whilst the sun shines.
Hopefully this ends our interest (if we had any).

When were we linked with Romaine Sawyers?
January this year.

Apparently a lot of Championship interest in Younousse Sankhare (at £4M) , would sort us out at LB but is also versatile for other positions. I imagine these type of player are dreamworld for us at the moment.
Hey-ho , lets squeeze another year out of George.

I'd imagine it's more to do with the fact their wage bill is tiny compared to ours.
Gibson invests up to the absolute maximum the rules allow him to every year, what would you have him do differently?
Employ people that spend his money better.

Holy *** boys IVE FOUND ONE!!
Middlesbrough are interested in Algeria international right back Mehdi Zaffane. The 27 year-old is available for free after his contract at Rennes expired. Nottingham Forest, Norwich City and Celtic are also reportedly interested.

Adomah's last performance for us was an absolute disgrace. Away at Sunderland when Stuani scored twice - Adomah came on for the last half an hour and I don't think he ran once.
I was a big fan of Albert when he was here, but that being his last game, it very much sticks in the memory.
Do you remember Yakubu's last game? I wanted to kill him.

Where is the cut off point between thin and fat. If you can no longer see your winky-dink or feet while having a pee , is that the crossover marker ??? (Asking for a friend)
