    I think it was actually, "Great. Smashing. Super". Followed by, on one occasion according to urban legend, "You word removed, Jim". But, of course, maybe I'm conflating Bullseye with Reggie Perrin but I feel we are missing a "Swell City, Arizona" somewhere if that's the case.

    I can see that as being the case. The owners a smart enough to know that you have to be prepared to walk away from a negotiation and not do the deal at all. Not only that, once you have walked away you move on and don't look back. Especially if the reason you have walked away is because you had a price bumped on you after an apparent agreement in principle.

    What a great position to be in that will be. For far too long we've had either not enough real, quality strength in depth and/or managers picking players regardless of their form or correct position.

    One thing I really like the look of with this guy in his highlights is he is shown actually catching and smothering. Many goalkeepers these days seem to play Hollywood Volleyball.

    Nope, that anagram beats me, I think. Noke Steelsac is the closest I get and if that's the guys he gets my approval. We need a brave goalkeeper.

    Wait, what? Is that Cap'n Jack? I thought he'd moved on long ago but if we've still got those soothing, dulcet tones delivering the insights then all is well with the world.

    Villa, mate, that's just our cursed luck. Only we have players shattering limbs in games they were 120 miles away from. Anyone else see Deano with his back turned and Terry trying to engage in a distracting conversation as the medical staff performed a sans-anaesthetic, life-saving field amputation of Wesley's mangled, gangrenous legs?

    Why not? Some very good sources are indicating it's nailed on and we'll probably get an announcement within the next 24 hours.

    Notwithstanding the over-Godding, I liked the way he came across in that interview. Seems like a grounded and determined character and we know he's sick filthy as a player.

    Precisely. There have been ITK on here who have signed off due to being snarked off the board by neck-rolling, trouser-hitching inadequates incapable of grasping that sometimes, in the fluid and dynamic world of football and people, things change. Give it a rest. If they are full of crap it will become evident and they answer for it if they are proved wrong should they choose to but posters of good standing should be given latitude when they post any inside info they may have gleaned. Not be given shit for it such as the truly asinine, "Source or it's bullshit, man", or "Why should we believe you if you won't tell us who told you? Huh? Answer me that?"

    Precisely. The sooner we buy him, the sooner he gets what will be a hugely increased salary paid for by us. Leave him where he is. On his £850 pw. Being paid by our feeder club bitches.

    Get it right, mate. When you refer to him you call him "Kiyo", like he's a mate who's in the process of moving to Villa.

    You've answered your own question with one word of it. "Develop". By definition that takes time and doubtless is our longer term strategy but we need to buy that time away right now. It's the difference between growing on your own seedlings or buying more mature, fruit-bearing plants from the nursery.

    So, Mondnesday it is then.

    I don't think he has returned yet. AFAIK one of the Brentford lads posting here confirmed he'd had surgery and, I think, said he'd miss the start of the new season. But I'm ready to be corrected on that. As far as Butland is concerned, I don't believe for a minute we are the ones who have moved on the fee. I think we may have only had one, "**** it, let's pay it to get it done. This is the one we have to do" moment in this window and that was Mings. And even that's only a maybe. For everyone else it's hardball on what we value the player at and move on if agreement can't be met. Good times, we are getting a very tasty looking outfit together and if they gel and work out we are going to be a team nobody will enjoy playing against and will spring some surprises.

    Not really. He wasn't on our radar then and look how much money it's saved us.

    Think Tyrone could do this? This guys an animal, he's going to terrify our opponents. Here endeth our interest in Kalvin "Who?" Phillips.
  19. privateer
    It's OK, there's a way round this and Neymar has been there already. We get them to buy out their own contracts which renders them free agents and we can troll the world by actually signing them after deadline day.
  20. privateer
    Isn't that loans? If so that's going to **** our strategy of buying half of Barca, Real and PSG next season.

    Total Football is coming to Villa Park and grounds around the country. I'm thinking Deano is less Great Barrdiola and more Dean van Smith.
  22. privateer
    It's certainly heading from viagra through to absolute and permanent priapism.
  23. privateer
    Who knows at this stage whether we are actually in for him, it's not coming from any source with a precedent of ITK, has it? However, he's another big **** so would fit right in with Deano's apparent mission to field a Brobdingnagian XI whenever possible. "So, Harry Kane, it was a record setting heavy loss but just how was it playing against that newly promoted Villa team?" "It was like they've taken the eleven greatest All Blacks' second row players from the 1970s and have Brazil and Holland from that era teach them to play football.".

    Years ago we used to have to listen to some retarded yokel-sounding spanner behind us in the Lower Holte call Paul Merson shit during every home game. And not just once, the knob-gobbler would yell it several times over the 90. Every. ****. Home. Game. They really do come in every slice of stupid. He's not played more than half a match per match? I'm doubting his commitment already, sounds a lazy word removed to me.

    That's what I inferred from the information I came across. The transfer "package" was seemingly somewhere around £4m but that included Gardner, who surprisingly actually had a monetary value in the deal that was knocked off what we paid for Jota. It's already looking like deal of the season after only 45 mins and this time next year, when the filth have dropped another division, we'll view it as deal of the decade.
