Am I right in thinking, if anyone were to bid for Benteke, they'd not be able to until after July 1st ? Or could they strike a deal in principle beforehand ?

Do bids have to be made public ? Presumably if it's a plc (Utd) they do ??

Right. I promised a picture of me on here and here you are. One of the most recent. Last August, in the Pantheon in Roma. This is as happy as I tend to look in photos sober. 

 

And yes it is a Star Wars top. F.T.W.

The one with the Spanish ladies looks shopped

If we sold him for less than £20m the ST's would be going straight back

£10m seems a bit steep for someone with just a year til he's a free agent !

Ok hands up, I've never heard of him

They can be bought but not officially registered until July 1st. We have this every year

I'll put it in my spread sheet.

Then after July 1st simply hide the column

Is the window even open yet ?

Basically just fast forward aug - mar and start watching from there.

^^ as well as Dale Stephens and Guy Whittingham.

 

I hope Julie " Fritzl" B has got decent square footage down there.......

Phnarrrrr Phnarrrrr

I would have liked a little inset of Simon Dawkins in the bottom left corner

Window opens in 28 days

Another interview at McDonalds Stefan ? ;-)

I seem to remember a lot of local young men holding hands over there.

Perhaps a cultural thing .

I agree we made progress after Xmas when lambert changed the tactics. But we have been poor defensively ALL season long. What was it 25 games without a clean sheet ??

We need something to change or I can see us being in the brown stuff again all season. And nobody wants to go through that again.

Oh agree on that. With the premier league beamed all over the globe now at least our profile has been raised, not sure if in a good way. That 0-8 will stick in the minds of the Chinese, Malaysians etc. they must have been sat there watching that thinking WTF !

You can also count our position above the drop zone on one hand

This is the thing. Some posters seem to have forgotten so soon how dreadful the season was. Defensively it's as bad as I can recall.

Plenty of stars go to Liverpool and Manchester . Sure they don't live near the grounds but I think location is bye and large not important .

My mate is one of the green keepers at The Belfry.

Tonev, Shawcross and Defoe have a tee time booked today at 212pm.

Will update later .

Why didn't he turn out for Stan ??

Brilliant news if true

Any idea when Germany tickets go on sale ?

I think you just described Joelyn Lescott.

Yeah, sign enough players from League 2 and you will eventually turn into a lower league side. It will be interesting to see how some of the lower league players do in season 2 in the PL. We have to remember how close we came to relegation in what was a thoroughly depressing season.

Hopefully the media will lay off CB now and concentrate on the Suarez and Bale transfers that will happen this summer, Mourinhio's return and the rise to martyrdom of the Ox.
