Didn't Solano break on here before anyone else had it?

Selling Doherty for 15m seems very cheap to me in the current market.

Daniel Levi, the master negotiator strikes again :).

In all my days I've had the inside line on one new manager, one new player and one cataclysmic disaster.

North Sea flood of 1953? :)

B'ham Mail linking 'possible' Wolves move for Matty Cash as replacement for Doherty? Hopefully BS??

They don't have the money. Skint pricks.

I get bits of itk but it's all about youth players to watch out for. Never had any about signings other than being sent a photo of Joe Cole around the same time the story was running on SSN.

I once had an ITK before the time of the internet that we'd signed Neil Eardly, a run of the mill utility player from Wimbledon, straight from the horses mouth of one of my old man's taxi driver mates.
He'd picked him up from the station and took him to the training ground, it was so obscure to be completely believable.

Utter bullshit.

Have a very random recollection you broke the Bent transfer elsewhere a few hours before it made the news Dave. That really came out of nowhere and was a great lift considering we were struggling at the time. Shame that transfer didn't really amount to much in the long run but probably the last ambitious signing we've actually made of a player well known.

Years ago I was at the Sutton coldfield tip getting rid of some stuff from my room as I was going to Uni a few months later. Glanced at guy to my left who looked like he was getting rid of pairs of old football boots. Looked at him and sort of recognised him then had a better look from the car, it was Juan Pablo Angel. He moved to the MLS about a week later.

Haven't seen any other players at the tip since.

Newcastle signnig Rob Holding on season long loan.

I'd be on to them about Fabian Schar, experienced ball playing CB. Think he has 1 year left on his deal up there and they only signed him for about 3m.

Stevie Bruce and friends (Agnew and Clements) seems to be collecting centre backs up there!
Yes as well as Schar there is
Lascelles
Fernandez
Are very own Ciran Clark
Lejeune
Dummet

All played centre back




Bit ironic considering the mess he got us in at that position

He ridiculously overstaffed the right back role with us (Hutton, Elmo, Bree, De Last) . We were somewhat fortunate that Hutton was able to make a decent fist of left back, playoff final aside.

He actually signed for SHA in 2013.

They (itk gods of twitter) now appear to be putting sad faces all over the shop claiming Jack is gone for 75. I wish it closed on the 6th Sept not Oct.

Having been told we didn’t need to sell and if we did, it would be for gbp80mill., I shall be mightily pissed  off if we accept less than that and the deal consists of cash and squad no marks from ManUre.

Matteo Guendouzi is out of favour and moving on from Arsenal.
Have him at Villa in heartbeat.
Classy

Signed him for Catania on my FM game, instrumental in our push for a third title in a row.

Leeds in talks to sign De Paul, another player with top flight, top league and International experience for a quality country. We're still on the phone to Brentford.

Would be a great pick up for them. Very similar player to Grealish.

He'll go well with Blu Cantrell.
