    This is literally the same conversation my best mate had with a bouncer in a club in Bromley in 1997, which went something like this...
    Bouncer 'How old are you?'
    My mate '25'
    Bouncer ' Sorry you can't come in, it's over 25's only'
    My mate 'But I am over 25'
    Bouncer 'No you're not, You're 25.'
    My mate 'It was my birthday six months ago.'
    Bouncer 'And?'
    My mate 'Well obviously I'm over 25.  I'm 25 and a half'
    Bouncer 'Still not over 25'
    My mate 'Yes I am.  I've been over 25 everyday since the day after my 25th birthday'
    Bouncer 'No. You're 25.'
    My mate (pointing at me who the bouncer had let in) 'You've let him in.  He's two weeks younger than me.'
    Bouncer (possibly swayed by the fact I'm 6'5") asks me 'Are you over 25?'
    Me 'Yes'
    Bouncer (back to may mate)  'See.  I've let him in 'cos he's over 25.  You're not.'
     
    After five minutes of this I was in absolute stitches.  We never did make it inside the club though.

    This whole back and forth on whether we let Martin go or whether he decided to leave reminds me so much of this classic twitter debate.

    Not aimed directly at yourself but in general. What would people need the club to do to be 'whelmed'? 
    Spend 10mill on a striker from the domestic leagues? Can't think of a single one I'd be overly excited about us signing from our league or otherwise. 
    Loan a young striker from a prem team? Not too many about, we've been linked to some, again unproven and we don't gain anything from it after the season ends.
    Spend big on a European striker? Massive risk to do, could backfire like Forest. 
    A 6ft3' striker at the prime of his career who is scoring a good amount of goals and available under 2 mill? I'm not sure more the club could do, this seems exactly the kind of signing we should make.

    With the obvious caveat that this is a highlight reel and you could make anyone look like a world beater if you only took their best moments, this video did definitely grab my attention. 
     
    Coconut’s right that a lot is deep, but this isn’t just a video of someone scoring tap-ins, it contains him doing a lot of different things:
    - linking up with wide players
    - tracking back to win the ball and start an attack
    - cute flicks round the corner under pressure
    - aerial presence
    - ability to hold the ball up and wait for support 
     
    Now, all this video shows us is that he can do all of these things or at least that he has done them once. The challenge for the recruitment team is to ascertain whether he does them enough to be a good fit for us. As has been mentioned elsewhere, the other signings so far this window give me confidence that if they think he’s the guy, I’ll back them.
