I know I'm going to be in a minority by a distance but I'd roll the dice on Balotelli. The penny has to drop at some point with him and it would rattle their cages massively if it was with us, especially if we'd picked him up for around £5mill.

On the other hand he might continue to be a complete flute.

I don't think the penny will ever drop with him.

I'm not sure he has a penny.

There is a great player in there.

I think the penny will drop with him when reality finally hits him that he has wasted his career. Right now his career to date has been AC milan, Inter Milan, Man city and Liverpool. No matter what he seems to bounce from club to club and still be up there in the respective leagues.

the minute he has to take a crap team offer is when he will finally stop wasting his talent and finally start earning his place in the game.

He won't do mate.

He never will. The penny will never drop.

He'll go to China/the Middle East and earn 10x in a year what most of us will earn in a lifetime.

Why bother?

If he did then no it wouldn't.

I'm just talking in the respect of him not getting anything other than a lower team offer and finally having to play a little bit rather than coast along.

Although it is a mystery why teams keep signing him considering his record in his career has been shocking by all accounts.
 
With comments about it being a panic/rush job to get 4, I hope we get them whether it's rushed or not.

I think clubs and players will be more flexible and open to persuasion in the last few days, but I wonder whether getting anymore than 2 is a big ask.

Still think we need GK, CB, AM, and F as a priority. I would add RB cover as a lesser priority and it looks as if we will get Cuco Martina there.

It's difficult from the above which position to say I would be ok with us missing out on for extra cover/quality.

Martina + another 3 would be fine for me, less than 3 and I think we are cutting corners but acknowledge its difficult.

I do expect we'll get a keeper and striker, and the deal for Koné is probably still there despite Davey's stance :)

Plenty of twists and turns ahead.
 
The fact that NOTHING he claimed to have solid info on actually happened and that EVERYTHING that has happened he had no prior knowledge of at all.

That, and my own analysis of the manner and tone of his posts over time.

It smells too much like bull. Sure he can wheel out the 'things change quickly etc' stuff. But if he was really getting genuine, close-up info you'd expect him to have predicted at least one thing correctly no?

Plus, I doubt whether someone who was in a position to get such inside info would then blabber it all over a forum.

The fact that he is given creditibiltiy by being officially associated with the site makes it an outrage to me.

Anyway, I shouldn't be talking about this. It's not allowed apparently.
Hi mate.

I do think maybe that you also could alter the tone of your posts - staff or not, you do appear to be hounding one member.

And just to be clear, as I said yesterday;

Ok. For your clarification, let me state it now - information posted here about transfers by @The Esk is his own personal opinion (which we are allowed to have), and not that of @GrandOldTeam. Hopefully that is clear enough.

If you still have a problem with that, then I'm afraid you're probably best taking it up with the site owner.

Genuinely hope that helps.
