"Want a signing today? You dreamer."

- My inner consciousness

Waiting for Everton to do necessary transfer business is almost a boring as watching us play football.

Almost.. but not quite

 

[blueboy72]

We had but as he remains the only RW who actually wants to join us, we have moved back

You believe what you want
But it’s funny that in tbe last week,
We haven’t been strongly linked with any other wingers

 

[sanctioned]

She also said last week we had moved on from Dibling

even more certain to be a club mouthpiece then

They are an absolute nothing team in Japan.

A link up with Urawa Reds or FC Tokyo would have been interesting.

I’d never heard of them but their average attendance was over 30k last year (3rd highest in Japan and higher than 7 Premier League clubs), they’re owned by Toyota and have a 45k capacity stadium. They don’t appear to be complete minnows like.

Ake fake story "leaked" to people in the club to find out the full leaks!!?!?

Brilliant from Moyes if true.

It is notable that none of the usually more reliable mainstream guys who cover us (Boyland, Joyce, Hunter) mentioned Ake. Not even Romano went there, only The Mail. None of them have said we have reengaged on Dibling for that matter. It might mean something or nothing but both those stories have been pushed by Bobble but not really picked up by others. It is also notable there are no names for RW, RB mentioned in Bould’s rebuttal of Ake. That does suggest the more official club routes (media team, executives, manager) have adopted silent running.

Is it? How many Premier League points will we get for it?

It is...it's brilliant.

Fraudsters leaching off gullible Blues that have been shown up for what they are.

Definitely getting tips from Rooney!

A player doesn’t care if it’s funds up front or instalments. The argument was European football or the lure of Milan to entice players.

AFCB have neither

That's how deals are concluded if you can't get a prospective players club to approve the transfer it doesn't mean anything if the player is interested. You don't think various clubs are vying for the same player? So being able to complete a deal at the desired price makes those moves more feasible. Also even without Europe if the transfer looks viable it gives the buying club an opportunity to convince a player who might be reticent and sell them the vision of the club

Must admit, I'm starting to worry we don't have the capacity/bandwidth to spend what we need.

I felt perhaps we'd sell Branthwaite to allow it - after he renewed, I figured some PSR/sponsorship shenanigans must be in place.

Surely we're not skint, again?

 

[bullybeef]

Stop posting utter nonsense then.

Not man enough to apologise.
Not man enough to insult me to my face.

I think that just about sums you up pal.

Apologies to everyone else for derailing the thread.

In a way, 'The Dibling Money' is the new 'Arteta Money' if it's not spent.

Every year we forfeit the first 3 games of the season by not being ready. Not really a surprise that we are doing it again. I knew we would have no new signings for Brighton, it's what we always do, wait until deadline day.

Ok. But personally I’d rather we won football matches and bought players to help us do that.

6 days to get 5 new players in. Chop chop lads.
