Important one to remember with Romano is that he's only reliable on announcing a done deal, his "here we go" bollocks. His sources are ALL agents so he tweets incessantly about deals in progress etc. on their say so, getting people talking about deals that he is told to, in return he gets told a few hours before the official announcements about finished deals. Unless he says "here we go" assume its an agent doing the talking. Ornstein is much more careful and much more reliable and he's only tweeted about us being in for Elanga in the last month. Him and trafford are the ones I believe we are actually working on.

I feel like Mbuemo was, but as soon as he publicly said he wanted man u and 250k a week we just went "fuck that" and moved on. Given our wage structure I am perfectly happy with that, as much as I rate him.

Were we ever actually credibly reported as being after cunha? Mbuemo still plays for Brentford tbf, he's gone nowhere yet. Though it seems we've moved on. Delap had most of the league after him because that release clause was buttons and he went where he'd be first choice. I get where you're coming from KD but Im just not at panic stations yet. Our best business has never been public and I feel like a lot of our fans who are panicking just aren't quite used to us being linked with anyone moving yet since Ashley left.

Glad you're alright but what was he basing that on? Never heard any suggestion that benign lumps could be formed from having too many protein shakes before.

Bit of a minor board maintenance thing but can everyone please check their TT emails are up to date? With a load of DMs floating about lately for people to get access to the discord the admin mailbox has had a ton of "undeliverable email" notices when people receive DMs and an email goes out automatically. @Gemmill @Kevin Carr's Gloves @Toonpack & @spongebob toonpants you're the most recent ones I can see a few for.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. PSR is the VAR of the transfer window. In principle its a good idea, and if it was executed well (and fairly) it would make things better, but as it is it doesn't and any chat around it is diabolically boring.

tbf, Its been shite for us but brilliant for the player. He'd have played a fraction of the games for us last season as he did for Forest and its playing those games (and being used differently to how we saw him) that has led to him flourishing.

Its the mystery of it, its more fun. Unless you're signing a properly world class player from within the league then its someone good from here vs someone you know less about from there. The second option is less known and therefore more exciting. We've lost a lot of that now with wall to wall football coverage and stats and whatnot but it's like how watching the world cup or euros when we were kids was more fun than it is now because you had full countries turning up with players you know nothing about and then some of them would be signed by teams on the basis of that tournament performance alone. It was just more of a laugh which for me at least is what I want football to be.

Totally agree, I am still an advocate for us doing something stupid just for fun. They'll be decent signings at minimum though and Elanga in particular gives us a ridiculous amount of pace on the break and an extra mate for Isak so it seems a smart buy.

At 30 million he'd be the 6th most expensive keeper of all time. It is odd how low value the position seems to be. Buffon is still in the top 5

Lost 5-2

What a season the lad had.

We won the league Just got home from the last game.

AUCKLAND CITY FC HAVE GOT A DRAW AGAINST BOCA JUNIORS!
