Is everyone looking forward to the wait between the press confirming we've signed a player, and the club confirming it. All because it takes some kid at the club 3 days to make a 40 second video about it. 

It'll be a 3 weeks this time around, with the lads and manager presently globe trotting. There has to be a snippet of the manager fist bumping them along with two lads on a physio table getting paid a visit by the new player.

I remember when it was just a photograph with the manager like this

 

fwiw I'm very much enjoying Marcelino's confusion.

The lad next to Dyer looks like that taxi driver on BBC breakfast getting mistaken for an economics professor - looks like he's came to the stadium with his toon top on and got mistaken for a footballer by Gullit

One of my favourite "Jesus do you remember him?!" players. Franck Dumas. Got done for tax evasion do to gambling addiction, which is fairly apposite.

As soon as ewerk posted my response was "THAT was Franck Dumas?!"

Apparently played 6 times...

[NJS 4557]

And was on the receiving end of one of the worst two footed challenges I've ever seen from Bergkamp who only got a yellow because he's "not that kind of player".

Probably played up top in place of Shearer and Big Dunc in the derby despite "allegedly" being a defender. I don't remember, I blocked out the Gullity "shexshy football" days other than the FA cup run (but I block out the final)

I’ll be absolutely furious if we signed DCL

 

I’ll be absolutely buzzing if we were deliberately feeding Edwards recycled coffee table shit

Seriously? Him and the Hoss facing off in El Classico? You’d have gotten canny odds for that happening when they were here

So we can safely rule out Barca activating Bruno's release clause if this is how skint they are.

they'd be better off going for that hidden gem from newport, exile i think his name is.

I like the look of this keeper Mamardashvili that we're supposed to be after. Douglas in the i mentioned we're talking to Valencia, and he usually isn't that far off, or is at least a higher grade of itk. Whatever we can do to not hand Arsenal 40m for Ramsdale I'm all for. One criticism I would have, and this is obviously only from the limited amount of footage I've seen, he does seem to have a habit of pushing the ball into the danger area when he makes a save.

Calvert-Lewin makes more sense to me than the likes of Sesko tbh. Not in the sense that I’d rather see the former but that he fits the profile of who we’ll get. If Isak is fit, he’s first choice by a mile. The likes of Sesko aren’t going to come to warm the bench 60% of the time whereas DCL represents a Premier League ready option who can be trusted to step in. I think he’d probably be happier with a rotational role in a club in Europe as well. The more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve convinced myself

He'd injure himself in between getting off the bench and walking to the 4th official to be subbed. In other words, he can't be trusted much like Wilson this season.  We'd end up hoying Gordon or Barnes up top again.

He played 33 games this season tbf. Nowhere near the crock Wilson is at this point
