I think clubs have player liaison staff - to help them settle into the area, find homes, schools for kids etc etc Not sure if we had any under Ashley though.

They once chinned Alan Robson live on air

Just watched it - poor bloke

I thought he was decent - he made a few excellent tackles late in the game. It was noticible though that he has zero pace.

Sounds like we are trying to get this ASAP, and understantably so. Ive said before - it must be mad being a footballer at times. Youre either at home resting or at the training ground and suddenly your told that a bid has been accepted and theres a plane waiting to take you 1000 miles north (ish) where you are prodded and poked by a stange medical team then unveiled as a new signing where you have to say "Great to be here" a hundred times to a gaggle of press. Players who move around a lot must be used to it but its nuts

Underrated

Half the team must be getting airlifted to the RVI

Sure Ive seen this line up in one of @Johnny's formations

I thought we were giving it a good go in the cups now?

Wasnt there rumours a month or 2 ago that we would be back in for the Paq man in the final week of the window?

Ive just bought a pack of 8 pairs of socks. Not sure itll be enough....

Fire up the plane watch thread !!!!!11!!!!!

Just today?

Hope Cheese Slice gets a run out. Be interesting if Lewis and Fraser are fit too.

Cant remember mate - weve been linked with half of Europe.

Did that Sesko kid get a move somewhere? Oh and of all the Everton signings Everton have made over the last couple of yeasrs, Miggy would be the most Everton of the lot.

Someone set up the next match thread please

For Jacob Murphy

Cant wait to see how the Terminator measures up against Techno Viking. Dont think we'll get much from the game but that should be a great tussle.

Not sure I understand why Real would even want him. Theyve already signed 2 central midfielders who will be Frances midfield for the next decade.

What?

Theres been plenty of movement. On the very first page we are talking about Broja and Paqueta and 94 pages later - guess who were still talking about?

Just watched the 1st half of the Brentford/Manure game.
