Setting aside the insurmountable issue of his wages, the problem with Sterling is that he feels like the sort of player that will treat us like a semi-retirement home. He's done his trophies at City, he got his big payday at Chelsea, and realistically he'd be coming here with a very small chance of doing anything other than top 4 finishes. I doubt those are the conditions that would get the best out of him. This isn't a slight on his character btw, I'm just talking about how a bloke that has won the domestic treble, a few PL titles, etc, gets himself up for "the big push for top 4" in his 30s.

They've got senior pros training with their development group. It's disgraceful really. And the wages must be absolutely killing them. I hope the window closes with a bunch of them still there causing ructions.

Rest of it is pretty shite btw, now I've watched it.

Love a bit of Klepper. It's worth watching the first 4 minutes just for the Georgia nomination clip at the DNC.

I meant "I announce".

If this goes through, we've got a new tradition on here. We agree the targets that we want and KD manifests it by starting a thread. Toontastic's very own vision board.

Don't believe anything you read on the internet.

Internet stalker. The photo I posted is already in the public domain, snapped at Fat Sam's Grand Slam Speakeasy.

"Maybe concentrate on posting accurate spreadsheets or I feel another internet kicking coming your way, sonny Jim." I get powerful Bugsy Malone vibes every time I see this photo btw. "We coulda been anything that we waaaaanted to be.... But don't it make your heart glaaaaaad.... That we decided, a fact we take pride in.... . We became the best at being bad!"

The point I'm making is there were no good options, and this was the least worst option. And I don't think it was a fuck up by anyone. We tried shifting people in the Jan window and we couldn't and we were up against the reality of an unacceptable PSR loss on a specific date, and so Anderson and Minteh went, and now at least one of them is a never-played-a-game-for-the-club twitter folk hero.

We could have kept Minteh and sold Bruno, Gordon, or Isak though. That was also an option. It was more or less the other option available. Because the problem with offloading your shit players for a profit is that you can't.

I won't cos I'm not daft enough to think it's either Guehi or a RW.

We'll get Guehi on the last day of the window. And you lads will just have to cry more.

You're advocating paying £7.50 a box for fucking Rice Crackles. Unbelievable.

Lads, I was hoping for Rice Krispies. I hope we can all enjoy your Rice Crackles. And the Choco Pops* we've been able to buy with the change. * not racist.

Grey belt baby. Like the one CT uses to keep his 32 inch grey action slax up.

I wonder if there'll come a day when we aren't celebrating the idea of missing out on our number one summer transfer window target. Get in that bargain bin Eddie! Have a good rummage about!

Don't pay any attention Dave. "Something's fucked in the logic" is my response to almost everything I read in this thread.

I do like chicken.

I mean it's almost as if I'm the brains of the operation, isn't it. The club should be paying me.

I don't understand why we don't just ask Chelsea for a list of the players they don't want, and then get Adam Pearson to live-tweet pick one via eeny-meeny-miney-mo.
