It always amaze me when people saying things like we need to get that Popov or that Tonev bloke in, he's just what we need yada yada, when really, unless they're keen watchers of the Polish league, they have actually made that decision based on a youtube compilation some teenager has put together of their best bits, or they play a lot of Football Manager.
I really need to learn this new language. It appears PW that you are learning and adopting fast!

I'm down with the youth of today. They do still say "far out man" "groovy" and "hot diggety" don't they?

Danish journalist, Sara Margren is reporting that we've had a bid in excess of £3m accepted for Nordsjælland's 20 year old, Danish international centre-half, Jores Okore accepted.

I haven't seen much of this Belhanda kid so I took a quick look at some of his work on YouTube. I have to say what I saw prompted some unexpected movement in my loins. He looks quite outstanding.

On the downside you can't really get that excited by our targets because most of us have no real knowledge of them and I always avoid Youtube stuff for obvious reasons. On the plus side, I suppose it's refreshing not to be annoyed by the annual Tom Huddlestone link. Poor guy...wasn't even mentioned as a possible make-weight in the Benteke transfer story. :0(

Hard to think of huddlestone as a make weight. His hair must weigh a stone for a start.

For me he's one of those players you forget is still playing until every transfer window  (Managed 14 premier league appearances last season, fact fans and possibly not seriously injured all season!)

Apparently he's not getting it cut until he scores. I bet he's regretting that now.

filed under 'banter' no woz move on already ! One things for sure we all be exstatic when we make some signings ! My hayfever is more a concern than the abuse and banter i just have to accept (but don't like) part of the forum! 

As noted previously by PWS personal abuse is not acceptable on this forum.

Shitting hell Brice. You want us to sign eleven players. 3 we have been recently linked with but you likely wouldn't have heard of last week.

You also seem to want to sign a winger, box to box midfielder, 3 attacking midfielders, 2 centre backs, two goalies, a forward and a full back as a Brucie bonus.

One of your suggested keepers is a fat old bastard that was shit for the Olbiyun. The winger doesn't fit with how we play really and certainly not when you also want to sign every attacking midfielder in Europe.

Altidore was useless at Hull so I don't fancy him and then we come to the centre backs.

I am guessing that by promising you mean young. We already have two of those so don't see why we would sign another couple.

And your suggestions are not young, promising or remotely talented. St Ledger? Berra?

Dear me.

Whilst true, I'd be concerned if this is our only CB signing this summer.  We need someone there to go straight into the side and immediately toughen us up!

I would like to apologise to villa kicks for my last post relating to his transfer wish list. it was the stuff of pure fantasy but in no way deserved the ridicule I gave it. diversity of opinion is to be welcomed. Sincere apologies
