Silly Season January 2014

[Ashtonian]

Remy was cleared in Setember, not guilty or aquitted, whatever the difference is.

Only thing i can say about the will we won't we sign anyone is where has all the surplus money gone?! I'm not one for exact details down to the penny but on the last day we sold 33 million worth of players and signed 17 million worth.


There better had be some new signings!

In all seriousness, it is the most common way to see that someone is lying. Any body language "expert" would agree here. It's also the only time during the interview that he does something like it (yes, I re-watched it to check).

Could also be a sign that he knows he's slightly backtracking on what he said before.

I don't mean to be negative there but it could mean that too.

Having watched that, I would agree. Do not expect any incomings even loans.

Nah, it's quite simply the most common example of what someone who is lying would unconsciously do. It may sound stupid, but this made me convinced more than anything that we are about to sign someone soon.

It's only seven days in and people are flapping.

We'll deffo sign at least two IMO.

Agents are working weeks and months prior to the open of a window. If the cash is there and the player is available it,s gets done.

We have injurys in key positions and a few tied players who need support, you strike while the iron is hot.

The rest is talk and that is all I am hearing from the club at the moment.

haha.. YES! the body language analysis has started, this really means things are picking up

i think i sawa slight lip curl, baines is deffo going

 

[Pabbers]

McGeady will be done, wether he comes in Jan or Summer, im not sure.

 

[harry]

Is there any news on the transfer front?

- Not really, no (scratches neck).

This, everyone, is the reaction/face of a man who knows something he can't say. I expect a signing to be confirmed in the short future.

I think he looks like a broken man who has just discovered he's been lied to.

Yeah. But the lie could go either way.

He may know that something really is happening.

Or, he may very well know that nothing is. And that's why it looked awkward.

I agree the body language was obvious though. Just that we don't have a clue which way round it goes.

 

[Bungle]

He looks like a man with a new baby that's had no sleep cos his mrs has give him a nudge at 2am to get up and change a shi**y nappy.

 

[Pat's Van]

I think he looks like a broken man who has just discovered he's been lied to.

indeed, he looks tired, unshaven, like the weight of the world is on his shoulders

where's the little glint in the eye gone ??? the young bushy tailed Martinez who first arrived on our doorstep last summer in a haze of positivity and flashy smiles, where's that guy gone ???

Actually, that looks like a man that has just been told that the positive net spend we had at the beginning of the season is gone...

You're all scaring me.
