The Prophet

Surely it's the opposite?

Doesn't sound sure in the comments mind:

At least there shouldn't be a shortage of right wingers to pick from next weekend, amarite?

I doubt we are, we almost always have a back up.

Here's one, would we rather have Thiaw at £35 million or Guehi at circa £60 million?

Don't they already have Quansah and Konate at RCB?

Plus, just because a player is a bad fit for one side, it doesn't mean he would be for another.

I'm sure Nixon, Bailey and Wilson have the same source. Occasionally right, but usually well off it.

A lack of updates can only be a good thing. It either means that there isn't much in this and we're working on other stuff, or Parish and his agent are serious about our interst and aren't briefing the media every day to flush out other suitors.

Obviously hope it is advanced though, it'd be an exciting signing.

Not to be a downer, but all he said was that we'd opened discussions. He's been reporting on more speculative stuff this transfer window, probably because there's not as much going on. He loves the "club x are exploring a deal for player y" line, covering all bases.

The Times reported last week that they weren't interest. The thing is that we don't know how interested we are either. Ormstein reported we'd had discussions with Palace and the Ronny claimed there were further discussions yesterday. It could have been as simple as: "£70 million? We're not paying that. OK, bye". I'm sure these things happen all the time.

If it becomes a bidding war, we'll make our pitch and bow out. That's if we haven't done so already.

Alan Smith.

Interested to see where he ends up.

He is pretty quick like. His aerial ability is probably more of an issue.

Heard out about this SP?

I'm sure TCD is a sound lad and I have no problem with any poster expressing their opinion, but I completely get the irrition of every thread being hijacked by the same tedious nonsense, repeated over and over and over. As someone who was hoping to use the forum for a bit of escapism, its entirely to its detriment.

How did Kelly get on?

I like that he can play both sides. Could partner him with Schar, who is basically an Anderson clone, at LCB to begin with.

West Ham still conducting transfer business like their sporting director has rolled in from a night out and fired up FM.
