Every time I see an underwhelmed looking "just signed" player, I always think of the look on Anelka's face when he joined the Stripeys

This picture was tweeted at the time by someone with this brilliant description: "An ecstatic Nicolas Anelka, holding the WBA shirt like it's a dead pigeon covered in sick."



Oh, that has made me laugh on a grey old morning in Chichester, thank you Paulie!

I will be just glad when the f....ing window closes and I don't have to read any more speculation about signings.

The season has started it should have closed last Friday.

Utterly ridiculous.

That's not stretching the shirt, that's dangling it.

None of them will beat Frimpong's (doorbell) expression when holding a Barnsley shirt. There's a guy who realises his big time is well and truly over.

People like to complain about AVTV, but this is actually what West Brom put out when they signed Anelka:

Tedious links to this Tottenham trio are getting boring very fast. Adebayor, Lennon and Townsend simply aren't worth the hassle haggling over when the scouting team have already proved this summer that we can find better quality and value elsewhere.

£5 million for the lot or a pox on their house.

Kyle Walker at Tottingham is the only player of theirs that would interest me.

presumably Adebayor will employ someone to stretch the shirt if he joins, or maybe delegate the duty to his driver whilst he tries to look cheerful beneath one of Bob Marley's hats

I's take Harry Kane from them and Lloris for that matter :-)

I meant players that are even vaguely realistic (and I admit Walker is stretching it).

We wouldn't be in the running for either Lloris Or Vertonghen unless about 40 top flight clubs from across Europe suddenly went bust.

Just to reiterate what I posted in the transfers thread. My man at where the medicals take place said that he has missed two planned appointments for a medical. No info on why.

something that caught my attention over at VT was that someone who works at Little Aston Hospital said he was booked in twice for a medical and didn't turn up

But it didn't catch your attention when edgysatsuma posted it here first, three posts above yours? ;)
