2024 January transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[PeterWithesShin]

B99 is no longer used afaik.

[Brazilian Villain]

Manchester City have a strong interest in bringing Tottenham and Spain right-back Pedro Porro, 24, and Aston Villa and Brazil midfielder Douglas Luiz, 25, back to the club in deals that could cost them Ł200m

Oh wait, it's sourced from Football Insider so nothing to worry about.

[Toronto Villa]

Aston Villa have sent a formal bid to sign 22-year old Icelandic goalkeeper, Hákon Rafn Valdimarsson who plays for Swedish side IF Elfsborg. The bid is in excess of €2m while Copenhagen have offered around €1.7m

Apparently…

If he's half as good as Joey Gudjónsson....

I'm sure that Rogers was linked to us before when he was at Citeh

Didn’t they try and include him in the Grealish deal?

B98 is the highest, not all numbers are used though. And a lot of them cover places outside Brum like Bromsgrove, Redditch, Cradley, Halesowen, Tamworth etc.

Solihull, too. I think that goes for all 'city' post codes, ie they cover the 'greater' city area - so Oldham, for example, will have an M postcode. Gateshead has an NE etc etc.

Yeah, I used to work evening & night shifts at the sorting depot in Newtown and postcodes are a bit of a mess in general. We flew post for parts of Glasgow to Edinburgh, for example, even though there was a Glasgow flight.

It actually makes me smile to see full addresses on post since those days.

If it's domestic post, write '12 B61FZ' and it'll get there.

B62 is more your Blackheath/Rowley side of Halesowen, not as posh as B63 which, as everyone knows is situated on the lower slopes of the Clent Hills and a very much sought after area.
So Rogers is likely to be a bit of a tough nut which will come in handy the next time Coote starts a fight in one of our matches.

Yep that rings a bell.

Don't know why we didn't negotiate the deal alongside the Azaz transfer...

I tried that out several years ago, I sent a Christmas card to myself, and I’m still waiting 😂

You’re right, though, it should work. I was probably unlucky given the time of year

[Sexual Ealing]

Could it possibly be Mrs Sexual Ealing perchance?

Didn’t someone call her a prostitute in the comments section of a Plymouth newspaper?

It was insinuated. If someone actually 'called' her that I'd put my fists all over them. And if anyone makes a comment about 'called' and 'call girls' I'll put my fists all over them.

Percy saying we’ve made a second bid that’s been turned down.

These posts are always disconcerting for a couple of seconds, as I know fuck all.

[dave shelley]

Does their chairman still hate us for spending more money than them?  FFP wise.

After we sold them Southgate, Ugo, Boateng & Azaz, and loaned them Cam & Middle Ramsey as well. Tossers.
