Where's this marquee signing ffs it's not that plonker Wijnaldum is it?

We'll have the worst window out of any bloody club. Not even a hint of a good first team signing!
 

I've had enough Angel Delight, time to get on with the real dessert.

Pretty sure you have accurately summed up 100% of all internet forums, threads, chats and what not.
Thanks for stopping by though
Not at all. I'm a member on some very friendly and welcoming forums. I've been on here for weeks and made a few dozen posts without any issues, but as soon as I question the great "Esk" and use a profanity that begins in S and ends in T, I get jumped on and antagonised. There's no need for such behaviour.
 

It's just a really tough transfer market this summer. You guys aren't the only club struggling to get deals over the line. Last thing you should want your club to do is start signing players they aren't completely convinced by just for the sake of signing somebody.

It took us a couple of seasons to recover from wasting the Bale money.

Well do you really think a few weeks on this forum (does that make you a blue or something else?) enough to form an opinion on a mod who's been here forever?
 
I see. So this forum is a dictatorship where typo's and bad grammar is enough justification for a lynch mob to descend on to me with the intent to get me banned? If so I'd rather not be a part of it.
A dictatorship means run by one person.

Who's the boss here do you reckon mate ? Or is their a clique ?
 

Look, will try and inject a bit of sense into this...

I work in a business that deals with embargoes all the time. I'll get information sometimes weeks in advance, with an announcement date and time.

That's where these 'sources' get their info from - advance warnings. So if they leak that info, that's the only info they know.

At any given time, that announcement can change. I've had announcements cancelled and rescheduled 60 seconds before they were meant to go public.

So that's why I've said on here that Esk has played a dangerous game by relying on timed info, instead of only revealing it when it is an hour or so away at best, so it was likely to actually be accurate.

I have no doubt we did or still indeed do hold big interest in both Witsel and Mata. But I also have no doubts that negotiations are exactly that - negotiations, and are prone to being fluid situations.

So my advice? Take ITK's with a pinch of salt, take them as a general interest of how the wind is blowing, and ignore any set timelines etc. as they're frequently changed or outright wrong.

You don't question the Esk mate. He said we are signing Mata and Witsel. Believe or get out!
