[BOB MANSFIELD]

It's all Greek to me.

Talking of all things Greek, I read that Olimpiakos' RB wants a move now he's seen who is coming in as LB ;-)

BOB MANSFIELD. Could you be Bob Mansfield? The caps hurt my eyes.

[brian green]

Better still Bob Personsfield.

No relation to KEITH MANSFIELD? The KPM composer of nearly every brilliant sporting TV theme (Grandstand, Wimbledon, The Big Match) from the 60's onward?

Was bob born in Mansfield.? Maybe Nott

[Malandro]

This is a MANSFIELD
This is a MANSFIELD
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl

Considering we knew we needed two midfielders from the get go , this doesn't look good.

is there any danger of us actually signing someone? Saturday is going to be tortuous based on recent performances, if not.

The club are trying their hardest to bring players in-They are not purposely submitting silly bids that they know will be rejected.  If the selling club refuse, what are we supposed to do?  Double our offer because it's absolutely essential that we get a player in for January.

As it happens, we will end up playing only 3 games in January (league) & that's counting the game on the 2nd.  We really have time now as we only have Saturdays game to worry about.

We have this every year-Constant bleating about lack of activity in January.  It is traditionally hard to sign players in this window, why should it be any diferent this year?  I saw Sam Allerdyce yesterday stating that Crystal Palace had up to 8 offers in for players yet only one had signed.  Both clubs and players are juggling still, waiting to see who bids.  A plan A for us could be someone elses plan B and until that someone else decide what they are doing, it is unlikely that the player in question will join us.  In a ficticious scenario, both ourselves and Palace could be in for Brady at Norwich.  Brady will be keen to go to the PL and until the Palace interest dies, or they look elsewhere, he won't consider our offer.

We are going to get players in-Of that there is no doubt.  We're not the only club who haven't set the world alight so far-Unless you want the type of player that nobody else wants, you have to be patient.  It is definately not as simple as putting an offer in and buying a player.

If they had all been accepted, would he have been screwed financially like in Football Manager?

No, more like Leeds.

you do realize that there was more than a hint of facetiousness in my post?
