Could be complete coincidence and mean nothing, but anyone think the Diaby links feel similar to the way Botman went (in this window)? Started out with no one really giving us a chance, then gradually over a period of weeks it became more and more real, till it happened. Feel like things are just starting to pick up with Diaby, and slowly it's beginning to feel more and more like it could happen.

Gordon is exactly the type of player we all hate, nasty little rat-faced bastard... till we sign him, then everyone else hates him and he becomes our nasty little rat-faced bastard. (That being said, give me Diaby any day of the week)

Everton may not have the same desperate need to sell that hey had last week when the reporting period deadline was approaching, but make no mistake, they're far from out the woods yet.

I'd be happy we contribute a chunk of the wages so long as there is an obligation to buy.

In!

If people could refrain from reminding me that Reuben is a massive Tory that would be great!

Can we not resurrect this thread every time a private jet flies in? It happens with a lot more regularity than people realise.

I think another CM may end up being something we look at in Jan. Assuming we bring in a RW and striker (likely loan) during this window, and we are sitting in a decent league position without any massive issue needing addressing in Jan.

I would be in dream world if we got Diaby. I just can't see it. Bailey's article says £40m could do it. That seems too low, realistically it would surely by closer to £50m. Hudson-Odoi would also be a great signing.

Feel like all this Tielemans talk is a good opportunity to have another reality check-in. Remember this time last year where the only Leicester midfielder we had any hope of landing was Hamza Choudhury, and even that was never going to happen. Now we're turning our noses up at Tielemans supposed lack of pace.

The FFP stuff is real, and needs to be take seriously. The club definitely seem to be approaching it that way. I think you will see two more signings. One a RW/right sided forward at around £30-40m mark, then a loan striker, potentially with an option/obligation to buy. By next summer the club will have a new front of shirt sponsor, and likely a who bunch of other new sponsorships. Especially if we have a strong league showing and get ourselves some form of European football, even it's it's the Conference League. Even if all that comes off I'd still say the budget goes up steadily, rather than shooting up. Like maybe next summer it's £120-150m

Interesting, let me know how you get on. My dad's still waiting to get back in. Wondering if it's something to do with him being classed as a pensioner.

My dad got in just after 10am, went to buy but said his age wasn't verified. Checked his personal details and his age is in there. Subsequntley has been booted and now back at the back of the queue bless him. Anyone else ran into anything like that? (also I was number 94 in the queue at 10am. Fuming I got that for membership but was 9000 odd for season tickets)

You can tie as many support ID's to your account as you like, meaning (so long as both ID's are members) you could log in and buy a ticket for each member at one time.

Agree. Bruno's winning goal v Leicester highlighted both the good and bad of Willock. Bags of running, especially against already tired legs. And a good idea of what he actually needed to do, but still, he was lucky his cross deflected perfectly into Bruno's path. Could've gone anywhere after hitting the defender.

Feel like there was a good chunk of time between Bruno being called 'done' by the media, and actual confirmation from the club. Chill lads, people like Romano would be all over it if it was going tits up.

Can't tell if the 'very worrying' posts are for real. Given how transfer season is don't you think any sort of major hiccup would've leaked by now?

Guessing everyone on now sees the same three sections available, but when clicking in it says no tickets available?

Pre-takeover you'd have no trouble getting one without being a member. From jan onwards that was pretty much impossible.

My number is 9858 and I am still waiting now. You may have been in the 'refresh and hope for the best' crowd.

Yeah, appeared sold out for a good 5 minutes or so, refreshed and suddenly I could click buy. Assume someone had it in there basket and it timed out or something.

Very true, a sliver of hope remains. I bascially got a hold of a PS5 when they first went live this way.

They had to come up with a way that prioritised actual fans, rather than alienating them. Putting criteria in place that basically only made it possible for a tiny number of the hardcore fanbase to get a hold of a ticket would just have pissed more people off. I say that as someone who is essentially in the same position as you.

This is a ballot system.

Now over 1500 people through the queue with no sell out notifications from the club or rumbling on Twitter.
