The Prophet

For what it's worth

If this guy has any kind of genuine decision to make on his future (whether its us or not), the pressure on him must be crazy. His agents allegedly want him to go to Barca and have been briefing the national media and the likes of Fab for a while. That weirdo Gerard Romero has even been digging out pictures of him as a kid. Then Barca players and the national team manager are being asked about his future, etc. We're quite tame in comparison.

Touché.

Is there a forfeit?

Cock teases.

At least the nawty boys won't be smashing up Wroclaw.

Always felt like we were outsiders for Delap due to game time on offer.

I think there may be something in it simply because a couple of unknown journalists, close to Espsnyol have reported it so aggressively. If it was agent mischief, they'd have gone to the nationals (who've been reporting he's off to Barca), like with Big Mama.

For what it's worth, I know absolutely fuck all about him

Still need agreement from the player. Speaking of which... The feeling within the club is that Joan García will not join Barça, this feeling has been reinforced in recent hours! The goalkeeper has already made his decision, he should make it known before the end of the week @totcosta I'll start running the tub.

The Espanyol reporter is at it again... Newcastle is the best positioned, the family is looking for a house.

So if we're going off reporting. We initially approach Mitchell, he says no. We go through a recruitment process, we identify Freedman who turns us down. Eales goes back to Mitchell, who does him a solid as a mate.

This all because he's bald?

Murphy is fine as back up.

They'll just be reporting the party line, as per.

I'm hoping this bit is true: ...according to one well-placed source, is “good to go”. They added: “Everything is in place, all the work that has been done on players has been finished and now we have to push the button and get those deals done. We know who we want.”

Aye.

Don't think so. If I'm not imagining it (possible), it was later reported we'd pulled out circa two weeks earlier when the fee hit £55 million. We were allegedly bemused by the reporting from the Palace end.

To be fair, it later transpired some of that "dragging on" was fabrication.

I assume this has been given the usual Baldwards disclaimer.

It isn't.

According to Douglas, Mitchell leaving will have no impact on transfer plans, with targets identified and confirmed for a while.

It'd be like us flogging Bruno G to fund a right winger. Two steps forward, two steps back.

Think it'd be hilarious tbh. He's been carrying them for years.
