I don't really mind who got the naming rights (within limits) and they went with the highest offer. It was clear there was going to be a limited market for it, and we are not as attractive a proposition as some think. Yet they say they got one of the biggest deals. Perhaps thats so if all...

I'd still be astonished if we haven't a couple more in over the next 10 days. That's probably a best case scenario now though and then await the scramble on deadline day. Provided we get a couple in before that it wouldn't be a total disaster. It does feel already though that expectations are...

My concern is that they've gone all in on trying to get a small number of targets and have been rebuffed by players and/or clubs. It's late but not too late in the day to go after backup options. It is late to be putting a B list together now, if they don't already have one.

That was good from Silva. He acknowledges some anxiety but says they'll still be busy. It's the excuses that people don't like, he didn't make any.

Isn't the TV money due to land soon? Maybe that has something to do with it? God, I'm clutching here.

Yes, if there is going to be activity it will be next week. For all the talk of TFG allowing their execs to get on with things, I wonder if there has been any stirrings from Houston if their perceptions of our "activity" or lack thereof are the same as fans.

Looks like he's been told they aren't by the face of him.

Probably judge more on his demeanour than what he says.

Be like old times one of Moyes' sulky press conferences.

Which is pretty good news with August being a week tomorrow. It's been a long summer.

Agreed. I thought there was some gallows humour in his "Time Yet" response rather than still believing he is sourced. He knows nothing. I can remember thinking "Time Yet" in the 1989 Cup Final when we went 3-2 down. 36 years later, and we have one pot. Many more relegation battle scars than...

Everton, this.

They're not closing the gap, it's widening. Be interesting over time to see how sustainable this all is. All they've done is start to carve out a niche for themselves as the super-glamorous, but super-mad club.

If they can't keep hold of Isak as a Champions League club, owned by a petro-state, then really what on earth is the point? What is it that the rest of us are supposed to be aiming for? To be Brighton on steroids?

I hope it does conclude soon. Even if he did sign for us they've sucked out all the excitement. Hope he goes somewhere, anywhere so it can be put to bed and not have it at "maybe" stage for another 5 weeks.

I agree - none of the impediments and restrictions would have been unknown to them at the end of May. I do expect business to be done out of necessity. It's a critical time for Kinnear most particularly.

They will get players in, because they have to. It's a question of when and to what effect our readiness for the beginning of the season is affected, it probably is already. There has to be a separation between signings pre and post kickoff. There absolutely has to be more business done in the...

They shouldn't and won't overpay, and he probably doesn't want to join us anyway unless it's for a big wedge. It doesn't seem to be a problem they'll have to resolve.

Are there going to be blue banners in The Plaza and Western Terrace or has this been restricted?

If we've had an underwhelming window, and a bid goes in for him at 7pm on deadline day evening, then I might change stance from "No thanks" currently to "Perhaps worth considering" then.
