Aye, if there's any truth in them wanting that and expecting to pay under 10m for Austin they're even more mental than we thought.

Probably a lazy link due to him being at Derby last season... I hope.

It's becoming quite a list, they'll make a canny League one side with a few more years of predictions.

Aye I was scrolling through this thread and he was gassing on in the background, I was interested to see if he kept it up. He did and it was awful so it's probably for the best you sacked it off.

I just can't believe he kept it going the full way through. :lol: Must have been a proper community theater type play.

Streete's went to Port Vale? Remember him being touted as possibly the best in the academy just 2 year or so ago, what a shambles our youth set up must be.

Aye agreed, too many of the major people are just sort of spinning their wheels tbh no real progression.

Aye it's shite when people recommend something and then promptly ruin it, one of my mates does that all the time. He doesn't watch GoT fortunately but it seems nob heads I didn't even like in school are on hand to ruin that for me.

Sadly not Aye, I'm only on it to keep in touch with family and friends back home tbh. I never write status' or owt like that so I don't get the people that do, let alone the drips that type out the ending to TV shows for no apparent reason.

Aye he's struggling like. He even found it hard to get McClaren in.

Just had the season finale utterly spoiled by a total fucking bellend on facebook. I'm not normally that fussed about spoilers but I was looking forward to watching the episode tonight. I just don't get what writing exactly what happens and then clicking to share it gets you, what an almighty bellend. I should know better and avoid facebook tbh but I just expected the usual "errrrrmyyygaaaawd GoT what the fuckkkk" comments, but this fucking drip decided to just type out exactly what the main thing was in one horrifically misspelled sentence. I considered telling him what a bellend he is but I just 'unfriended' him instead in a furious nerd rage. Why do people put spoilers everywhere now? Like news articles on facebook that were 'recommended for you' had titles like "shocking blah on GoT finale" then a big fucking picture of a character, trailers give most of what happens in films away now and reviews regularly spoil films and TV shows. I have had the last two episodes spoiled for me because of daft cunts on social media, they don't even get any 'likes' or anything like that, probably because they've ruined the fucking episode for everyone that saw it. Rant over, knickers are still in a twist though.

Agree with this, whatever happens we'll be thin in key areas. Unless Riviere can be turned into a football player we only have Perez and Cisse up top, our centre backs are fucking shite we don't have much quality passing at CM and our wing play is pretty poor as well. We should have one in already at least by now looking at how far behind top half teams our squad is, instead we have McClaren having to fight an Ernest Penfold look a like to recruit the staff he wants (honestly how much can the compo be for an assistant manager ffs?) and since he is only capable of focusing on one thing at a time I'm sure that has diverted his attention away from buying players. BTW I just had a search for Penfold and found this as a description, I honestly think it sums Charnley up perfectly: Penfold is a timid, bespectacled hamster, and Danger Mouse's reluctant assistant. (Penfold is often mistaken for a mole; however, Brian Cosgrove has stated Penfold is supposed to be a hamster). Penfold stands just over half the height of Danger Mouse, and always wears thick round glasses and a crumpled blue suit with a white shirt and a yellow and black striped tie. He is the sidekick of Danger Mouse, whom he calls "Chief". He is a coward (codenamed "The Jigsaw," as he goes to pieces when a problem occurs), becoming terrified at any sign of danger. Jigsaw is the perfect nickname for Charnley tbh.

Aye that's the one.

Think it's full of fucking chocolate coins tbh.

"Hello there Lee it's Tony 'ere speak to me, already got bids in from Liverpool and that so what's the bidding?" "erm... Liverpool eh? hmm well... erm... how about nine million quid? how's that grabbing you?" "Come off it Lee, Liverpool have already hoyed a 12m offer our way, you've got to do better than that!" "erm... nah, we wont be bullied... erm so errrrm... nine million quid final offer" "Fuck off penfold, is Steve about? or even Mike?" "erm... they put me in charge... how about seven million quid?" "How the fuck are you lot in the Premier League?" *click* "erm... well... erm what about five million?... erm... Tony? you there?.... ahh erm... I think he put the phone down... oh look at the time.... 9.05am eh late day"

Is that daft cunt still our player? Is he fucking forward rolling his way to this medical he is supposedly having at Leeds the useless prick.

Zenden might get a game for us if they keep on low balling teams on transfer fees.

Also at Bas Dost, gets linked to us then declares his commitment to stay at Wolfsburg. I remember our lot being tight cunts and refusing to pay Palace 3m for Nathaniel Clyne, I fully expect plenty more tight fistedness this window and we'll land a bunch of players that no one else has interest in and hope they can do something.

Have we signed Brett Emerton yet?

He did aye, think he's back in Scotland now. Sure Essembee knows when the lad last had a drink if you'd like to know, or if you don't care he'll tell you anyway.

Never disappoints.

Aye, I feel like anytime there is another club in for a player we're in for the deal is basically dead in the water. 9m for a striker of Austin's level is nowt tbh, players like Steven Fletcher went for that years ago, if they have really bid that it's clear this was another attempt at making the fans feel like they were doing something coupled with a bullshit report saying it's close from their favorite newspaper. Expect this one to be another we can't get across the line. Bas Dost doesn't fill me with any confidence btw, never looked much use any time I've seen him.

It was a done deal where the fee hadn't been agreed, we wont be signing Austin. I think they were interested but yet again have found the negotiations a bit rich for their blood and will be outbid as they seem to have not noticed that an English striker that has coming off the back of a good season is a sellers market. Them Moncur quotes are fun to read, much more like the absolute fucking shite we are used to hearing from the club.

Two complete sitters, give Austin a chance man
