Tony's a nutter with this relentless percentages tweeting but I love him.

I like what he's doing with social media anyway and have from the start but I'm particularly impressed that he's realised the time where he needs to be visible is in the transfer windows and his activity really reflects that.  I believe this is a very smart cookie we're dealing with here.  It's all about controlling the narrative (same as politics) and by being how he is on twitter he's completely bypassed the media and the bullshit ITK.  I honestly wouldn't be surprised in the villatransfers account which has been pretty reliable is one that he either runs or that he feeds snippets too on purpose.  Drop a name there, get a feel of how the fans see it and then back to Bruce/Round/Wyness to see if that changes whether they want them or not.

Tone's talking about more ins and some outs. Ins and outs? Well, you might be referring to the time honoured procreative act colloquially known as fucking. Fucking rhymes with clucking, which is what a chicken does, and chickens are known for running around the place with no real purpose, not for their courage or effectiveness in a three-man midfield. Clucking, fucking. You might also hear yourself screaming 'fucking' - alongside the word 'hell' - when you see a certain name on the team sheet. Fucking hell, not that twat - AGAIN! Yes, that's right, the chickens have come home to roost for Ashley fucking Westwood!

And if he is doing that I hope the manager politely tells him to piss off.

I doubt we would be signing players from Barnsley if that were the case.

Dr T is too clever by half, but that is better than being too stupid by three quarters.

Only a matter of time before differential equations relating to quantum physics are appearing on his twitter account. I can't wait.

My take on this:

(50%+50%+50%)*1/3 = three options for one position, probably striker.
(-50%-50%) = two players leaving
+50% = a random other player coming in.

I agree although I think the one from three possibilities is a defender because there is a space for one of those anyway with Cissoko leaving. For me a defender that can play centre or left back would be ideal there.
The one coming in if two go out would be a striker and I'd guess Rhodes if McCormack and Ayew are sold.

Couldn't have just said 'potentially 2 going out and if that happens, 2 coming in'

He could, but his transfer algebra is much more entertaining.

Press and people speculating Dr's last tweet suggests Grealish is off.

Hm, it's not really a "don't worry he's not for sale" is it...
