  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Apparently the war chest is still waiting for it's work permit.

    It's great news about our recent signings but how comes, all of a sudden we are finding this money. ;hmm

    We’ve posted some decent financials plus we’re probably still using Tabor facility

    Are you Blackadder in disguise?
    Percy: (comes back) Well, couldn't you just dip into the family fortune?

    Edmund: There isn't one. My father blew it all on wine, women and amateur
    dramatics. At the end, he was eking out of a living doing humourous impressions of Anne of Cleeves.

    Percy: (sympathetic) Oh, Edmund, I am sorry -- I had no idea. But do not
    despair, for I have some small savings carefully harvested from my
    weekly allowance, set aside against my frail old age. By lucky haps,
    it is just over a thousand, methinks, and has for years has been
    hidden beyond the wit of any thief, in an old sock...

    Edmund and Percy: ...under the squeaky floorboard...

    Baldrick, Edmund and Percy: ...behind the kitchen dresser.

    Percy: (smiles, slightly warily) You've seen it!

    Edmund: Seen it, pinched it, spent it. And same goes for the two farthings
    Baldrick thinks he's got hidden inside that mouldy potato.

    Sully went to cash converters with some of his bling, he is now down to 37 gold chains and 8 sovereign rings
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    I hope they along with our American board member as dipped into their pockets after thinking with this squad previously we will only ever be fighting relegation regularly so we need to upgrade, but fair play to them they have walked the walk and talked the talk so well done the board ;clap

    And he was doing so well. He should have continued to keep it buttoned. If Anderson and Balbuena fall through and other deals do aswell, he will then be accused of going against his word..
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    That's fair enough. No outrageous claims and no names mentioned. If he's spending what looks like it could be close to £100m I think he's allowed a little chirp.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Nice and anodyne ;ok
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    So if things pan out as per rumour:


    Fabianski

    Fredericks Diop Lascelles J Lukaku

    Rice Seri

    Wilshere

    Anderson Arne Yarmolenko

    A whole new side barring Declan and Arne ;lol

    If Anderson and Balbuena fall through it'll more likely be down to work permit issues.

    Hopefully we can get Anderson over the line ASAP I reckon Ronaldo to Juventus is about to kick off a massive domino effect and possibly see another inflation.

    Yaya toure to West Ham rumours surfacing...
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    His agent must be getting desperate
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    I think that's come from the resident ITK on KUMB.

    The same ITK that said we'd agreed fees for Mawson and Bruno Fernandes.

    Handfuls of salt with that particulaer rumour, I'd suggest.

    Sporting getting all legal with Wolves over signing of Patricio:

    Anderson granted a work permit according to the Mail

    So am I allowed to say “it is close”?
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Feels weird....a long running transfer sga that does actually feel like we are gonna pull it off

    Think its like its gonna be a front 3, with Yamrolenko right, Anderson left with Arnie central

    Still feel like Hernandez may be off still
  • LukerzLukerz
    Sky now reporting that Anderson is close to signing. Fee agreed. They say discussions are still ongoing over ‘outstanding terms’ (whatever that means) but if all goes well he could have a medical by the weekend.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    He's probably discussing his 'loyalty' bonus with Lazio.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Fulham get Seri for reported £35m. ;hmm
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    But not for £17m!
  • LukerzLukerz
    Couple of ITK's on other forums claim Pellegrini agreed to take over as our manager back at the end of 2017 subject to survival, & therefore already has extensive knowledge of the squad & the areas that we are lacking. I am actually quite impressed that we've signed a dynamic full-back, passing CM, quick left-footed winger, imposing CB & another PL level GK. It suggests that he immediately knew what was needed & is getting it done asap. Hopefully when the season kicks off his managerial pedigree will shine through & see the players who were here last year dramatically improve alongside the new additions.
