Rose is from up north - so that may not have been the issue.

I'm from Telford but you'd have to drug, gag and bind me to get me there again.

We nearly moved there in the early 80s.  I'm glad we didn't.

You didn't miss much, apart from my wodergoal from the halfway line to seal the victory against Trench in 1990.

Club have ‘approached’ Aston Villa player about transfer – Villains want sale, not loan

Part of their promotion revolution last year, Björn Engels didn’t have the ideal first season in the Premier League with Aston Villa

According to Walfoot, Anderlecht have come knocking, ‘approaching the player’, although they would want him on a loan rather than a full transfer.

I would be happy to see Björn Engels stay however it does not look like Smith is keen........so who do we bring in?  Joe Rodon from Swansea? Have we been linked to any Anderlecht players?

Weren't we very close to signing Alli one January window under Lambert when he played for MK Dons? Think he was at Bodymoor for talks but Spurs came in for him.
He comes across as a complete moron in that Spurs thing, too, as others have mentioned, even by footballer standards of intelligence.

Sorry mate, no offence intended, but I feel scarred by the place. You can't have a town centre that's indoors. Even the wasps have neck tattoos!

Smith hasn't seemingly been keen on Engels for a long time.

I'm hoping we've got past the Belgian league in the players' catalogue.

I like Engels but I think Dean thinks he’s too slow and gets turned too quickly.

I love some of the words the media use to describe the processes of a bid.

Bracing
Preparing
Approaching

Come knocking is my new favourite though.

If I don’t hear the phrases ‘over the line’ and ‘in the building’ in a transfer context ever again I wouldn’t mind at all.

I know he isn’t ours but £35m for Jota? Seems way too cheap in the current market.

Windows are either wide or tall or both but never long.
