Transfer rumours off twitter are absolute tosh almost all of the time mate! You know how it works; we get teased with some exciting wonderkids or proven talents or players in some positions we need and then we go out and sign an academy prospect being released by Portsmouth, the manager's racist son and 2 players in positions where we're stacked, often from our rivals for far more than they are worth. We might also sell one prized asset. That's how it works each year. Occasionally we get a Vardy/Kante/Mahrez shaped surprise, but not always. Don't make me tell you the story of Nicky Maynard.

Good story to be fair, 200 pages and not even close to signing, probably weren't even looking at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 12 August 2020 Share Posted 12 August 2020 I've only got me one good shirt left and it smells of cheap perfume, The answer's probably out there, but it won't be Iain Hume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dipped into OTIB forum on occasions ever since that saga. It's been quite entertaining over the past week with their managerial appointment. They thought they were getting Hughton or Gerard or even Poch at one point! They ended up with the previous failed managers assistant Serious meltdown ensued.

My mates a Brizzle fan, i've been following the whole saga with great interest They've also hired two assistants for him who could quite easily do the job themselves... which I think it's safe to say means they're anticipating it going tits up and want replacements there already to avoid this mess. Basically they've got no money to spend this year and the brief is 'develop the youth' so Houghton told them where to shove it and their only option was the assistant. They MIGHT be alright though, as the two England youth managers they've stolen will have great links for PL loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've nabbed the U20 manager and U19 manager, not sure how many have ours have been in those groups in the last couple of years. Thomas would be a great shout but they have a decent left back in Dasilva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the penny may have dropped regarding their Jersey billionaire owner (who named a stand after himself) that clearly doesn't want to bankroll the club. Plenty now suggesting that he sells up and moves on. I'm surprised they accepted without opposition to sharing Ashton Gate with a rugby club.

Ric Flair Posted 12 August 2020 Share Posted 12 August 2020 If we are going to sign any out of contract players then they ought to be doing quite soon, I don't get why we'd wait unless a) they aren't our main targets or b) they have better options and are waiting for us to increase our offer. So basically hurry the fcuk up Malang Sarr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 12 August 2020 Share Posted 12 August 2020 I'm throwing in the name of Myron Boadu, just because I can. Only 19 years old. Goals and assists for fun (albeit in the Eredivisie) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals and assists for fun (albeit in the Eredivisie) Got to come in a double deal with Calvin Stengs though - a bit Mahrez-esque in his comfort on the ball and no-look through balls with perfect wait. If necessary, I'll put both as 'rumours' on twitter? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
