A statement signing if I've ever seen one.

Knackered his knee catching Weasels.

You couldn't imagine Osman being so selfless.

Get him signed up.

A statement signing if I've ever seen one.

On 23 June 2015, he returned to Swiss football, signing a four-year contract with BSC Young Boys.[7][8] His first two seasons back in Switzerland have been almost on the sidelines with injuries including a metatarsal fracture and torn ligaments in his knee.

Would fit in perfectly.

I'll be disappointed if we don't get at least one significant piece of business finalised in June.

Good evening Frandelinos

Today marks the end of the first week of data gathering for the Weasel Index.

If you are uncertain what the Index is, please see here https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/summer-transfer-window-2017.94428/page-846#post-5473408

So, who will, by September, take their place in the circle of life as the number one Weasel?

Big thanks to mein frandel @Sapie88 for the picture

Here are the results for the first week's Weasel Index

1. @Raino85 - 50 Weasel Points
2. @EFCccc - 25 Weasel Points
3. @Mosh Pit - 5 Weasel Points
4. @CrustySack - 5 Weasel Points
5. @Joey66 - 5 Weasel Points
6. @Eggs - 5 Weasel Points

Some notes here

• It breaks my heart to include good frandels @Eggs and @Joey66 here but they have been doing some sourced Rooney work. However as they take opposite views, one of them will graduate to Mole10 ITK God Status
• @Raino85 's early reverse ferret has set the tone splendidly for the rest of the summer, and we thank him for it. However he could get home (like @Mosh Pit ) on that Pickford rumour
• Some Weasels from yesteryear have not resurfaced from hibernation yet. One is a big fan of the phrase 'I know for a fact', I'm expecting good things from this weasel.
• It's been a quiet start to Weasel Season, but expecting it to warm up.

As ever, thank you to the Weasel Hunters for tagging me in to keep the records up to date.

On 10 March 2013, in an away match against FC Thun, Benito was bitten on the finger by a beech marten he had caught after it invaded the pitch.

With him its personal.

By all accounts, IF Man Utd sign Perisic their willing to listen to offers for Martial?!

I've never really considered him as an option as I've never thought he'd entertain us or be available but IF he was available at the right price, I think I'd like us to be all over that. Personally think he'd end up back in France though....

He want's to stay in England I heard. Not sure we'd be prepared to pay his wages or that he'd want to play for a club without CL football though. Does anybody know how much he is on?


Regarding other possible transfers. I'm not convinced by Pickford myself. Sure, he's better than what we've already got, but is it just one of those instances where he looks really good because he's been constantly kept busy playing for a rubbish team like Sunderland? A bit like Mignolet when he played for Sunderland. Been crap for the RS.

I'd be happy enough with us signing Sigurdsson and Keane though.

That's better than some who have lost their shiz over not signing a sausage....in May.

Martial hahaha. Like he would ever come to us.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Lots of chatter about samedo and us battling with Newcastle and Southampton for him.

Horrible rag reporting it though.

£65k a week.

We could surely afford that then. Question is, would he come?

 

[mixed_up]

I believe we will be able to attract some good footballers to the club because we're in the Europa League. Man Utd vs Ajax were two very big-name teams in the EL final this year, and I'm so glad we qualified otherwise this may not have been the case. CL is getting boring, in England you have to pay for BT sport now ffs. should be on BBC/ITV.

 

[Grand Duke of Marmite]

The Europa league is on BT Sport as well though mate. I agree though, there should be more games available for people to watch on terrestrial TV.
