Tony's Tweets

I reckon McCormack is one of the outs.

That would be good, but not easy.

Great work Tokyo. Are you in derivatives?

I know my BODMAS, and do a lot of work in Excel...

I bought at the auctions a thing that looks like an old fashioned typewriter but it has wheels and cogs.  On the front is a brass plate saying "Property of Bletchley Park Radio Manufacturers Ltd."

I put in Tony's tweet and it reads "U boat attack imminent on North Sea convoy.  Inventor of bicycle kick believed on board.  Not to be allowed to escape.  Message ends."

Knew I should have bought the chicken shed.

you're such an enigma Brian.

{(75%-(75%+X))+50%+50%)*1/3}+(-95%-50%)+(+50%-50%)+50% #UTV

So thats:

A 75% chance of a player coming in; in exchange for another player leaving + cash.

2 x 50:50 chances of a players coming in

But only ONE of the above three transfers can happen.

Then there's a 95% chance of someone leaving and a 50% chance of someone else leaving.

Plus another player coming in IF another player goes out  - 50% chance

And then a further 50% chance of a player that isn't dependent on any other transfer.

UP THE VILLA

75% chance of JORDAN RHODES - in exchange for McCORMACK/GREALISH/RICHARDS+ cash

or 50% chance at another striker (AKPOM?), or 50% chance of someone not yet speculated about.


95% chance of someone leaving?  McCORMACK in a separate deal, or one of our surplus midfielders, or possibly someone out on loan.
50% chance of someone leaving?  As above

50% chance of someone coming in IF someone else leaves - possible straight swap deal; or having to shift someone to get a replacement/upgrade.

50% chance not dependent on anyone else - possibly a reserve left back, as that's where we have no depth.


So I reckon a max of 3 new players coming in - a striker, a left back, and another player that isn't a central midfielder or a goalie; and maximum of 4 going out.

Just Turing with you, Mr U, just Turing.

i reckon one more maximum coming in. I'd be surprised at 3 more. Plus, I'm not sure that it's healthy in January to have that many coming in. Unless its the polar opposite of last January and we're building in January with next season in mind and hoping to get the players into a cohesive unit ready for August when only 2 or 3 more need to be added rather than 9 or 10.

I think they're ace.

They make my day!  Way better than sudoku (do people still do that?) any day of the week.

[exigo]

I reckon McCormack is one of the outs.

Then one of those stats is going to need to become -120%. See also, Gabby.

It would also fly in the face of Bruce's comments earlier in the month that the club has already had a turnover of players way too high over the past two summers. And then he signed four players in a week...

I was told a possible of 3 coming in still as well which I was also surprised by.

I guess  If players become available then yo go for them.  We need improved squad players as well and the need to shift some dead wood

Ross McCormack plus cash for Scott Hogan.
