Is it the 2nd February this year? Probably be more like 1200 pages and zero signings then!

It’s like a third of your career as a top flight fooballer, if you’re one of the lucky ones.
Which is mad when you think about it
I mean it's obviously semantics to some extent but personally I wouldn't say it counts as 'much younger' to the level that I would factor it into the value of a transfer. If we announced in the summer that we'd decided not to spend £50m on Grealish but were going to spend £55m on a 28 year old instead because he was much younger, I'd say the logic didn't really make sense to me.

I hate football
It's the net £5m spend that is the key factor here - there's an argument that they've achieved a significant upgrade here : certainly from a contractual perspective, arguably from a talent perspective
The love we shared with him for 5 minutes yesterday was a lifetimes worth.
Farewell Wesley, may Sociedad be a happy home for you.

Don't worry, he'll make it into next season's rumour mill too!
Tenuous links to Jhon Duran emerging.
Can’t see it personally, though he was hard work when he was Villa leading them being happy to let him go despite his blammo - no doubt the £64m fee having paid £16m for him jhelped too.
Doesn’t sound like a Davie Moist player.

I'm hoping the summer transfer thread starts this weekend in advance!

Dwight's still available, Dychey!

Yes but now you’re comparing a 31 year old to a 28 year old. And still, personally I think that is a big enough age gap to justify spending more on the 28 year old if they’re a similar quality.

I predict at least three will have started by Monday lunchtime. But which one will remain unlocked?!
No I don't necessarily disagree, I just thought maybe you were under the impression that one of them was older or younger than they actually are, that's all. As I said, to me 26 to 28 isn't really a big difference age wise in terms of how much development you've got left in you, how quickly your levels are going to drop off etc so I wondered if maybe you thought the gap was bigger than that and so the value aspect becomes more significant.

I might get in early windy and box it off and post to myself until theres about 29 pages and it looks like it's been a busy thread, try avoiding any potential locking situation.
I'm off Monday so will get up bright and early and start wetting the sheets around 5am
I've got Monday booked off for a forecasted hangover so can't wait to sit on the sofa and watch us do nothing.
