Gee SCREAMER !!

I was in Debenhams many years ago round Christmas.  Heard a smashing sound behind me as I was leaving and there was poor Russell surrounded by about 500 quid's worth of perfume he'd smashed when he'd dropped one bottle into a load of others. 

Danny Mills. Played an hour, got injured, made that Paddy Power with Stubbs.  They can both bollox.

We are delighted to welcome Louis.  He was over the moon when the chance came to join such a progressive club

I don't know but it's one big willy warmer.  He's looking concerned he might not be top wang anymore.

According to Jim Smith he was banging down his door the minute he arrived demanding a move .  He told to F off

Still being allowed to bring in players though.  Nothing changes on that score.  Haaland next week.

You won't get out of this division, or any division, without some kind of fee on players.  If you don't pay some fee, someone else will. Even the decent team we had under Burley had some nominal fees of 200-300 k for the likes of Peschisolido and Kenna to go with the frees.  Could be a barren season goal wise if our centre forward addition is a freebie, over 30, with a bad knee.

They have been giving 25 year old students tickets for the price of a pint for 4 years.  Now they just want it backdated to pay for Shelveys perms on his match day rider and Woods mobility scooter.  It's their own fault.

I'd have Michael Forsyth ahead of Dorigo.  Good going forward but a fanny of a defender.  He was consistent for the 7 years or so he was here as well.  
 

He got his 30 mins.  

Think a few of them have done ok.  Depends on expectation level.  Taylor did as well as I thought he would. Hughes, Hendrick, Williams and Sturridge all had mostly top flight careers. Barnes -and Hughes- had their level reduced by injury. Lowe was underused as was Ramage in the Cox 92 revolution of talent hoovering that didn't work.   Ramage was probably a shoe in for a step backup at Watford as he scored a lot of goals as a 10 before injury finished that opportunity.  Wisdom was captain of England U21's had been in the Liverpool first team fairly often and had just signed a 4 year contract when we had him on loan.  A different beast with 2 loans that had failed and a season asleep in Austria coming back  His recent interview didn't really inspire as a can do guy who meets being dropped head on either.  Carbon was never going to be good enough to dislodge what we had at the time on a regular basis.  If he'd been around and waited for Bragstaad and Prior he may have had a better chance.

Bit of a risk to play without a contract elsewhere like Waghorn.  Not sure if he's joking about that one.  If he gets 30 mins you might find he's here Monday morning.

That's what happens when your manager plays you with a broken foot for 98 minutes to prove a point. 

Ultimately, we have a bloke who spent 50 million quid on a relegated side which included 60% of solid debt. Then 3 or 4 million quid of players he thought he had, weaseled their way out the door.  Add 5-6 million of outstanding transfer fees on top.  I don't think we can't afford it, I think he' not planning on spending anything we don't bring in till some of that's paid back and those transfer fees are cleared from within.  Let's remember that his original plan was to buy the ground independently and rent it to someone who'd cleared the debt.  His interest was in the bit that had constant value not the bit that was Mels bar bill.
Your are correct however, that football is an entertainment business based on goals so a striker and pace is a must.  Eventually, if footfall drops by 3000 as we're piddling round in mid table and the extra cash available from playoffs/promotion passes by, he will lose more than he gains on a 2 million quid investment over a couple of years that may make the difference. 

and a 6ft 4'' goalie losing a ball in the air to bloke who was 5ft and a cigarette nub.

That is quality
