Brogue OK, if its winding people up i won't bother anymore. thought I'd been bang on the money with my posts, i'll keep it to myself going forward

Nah, you're good, bar your occasional trolling. Some people are desperate for the constant drip feed.

Those of us who aren't interested in all the gossip and nearly there stuff don’t have to read it.

Sutekh
Gus the teenage cow An insider whom I shall refer to going forward as "the man in the sand" has informed me he moved the goalposts late in the day and asked for an increase in salary, from what we thought we have previously agreed with the player (circa 450k per annum + bonuses) to (650k per annum + bonuses) as his agent claims he has strong interest from the championship and is confident of getting that kind of money.

Brogue, can you check with your source to corroboarate this please?


Fits in with the club saying some arse asked for more money after hand-shaking on a deal. Good thing is that it appears the club has been bought by the American John Madejski as SJM would have also told the player and his entourage to do one after reneging in such away.

It’s nice to be back where we started 35 years ago.

Let’s just consider this one a no ball.


Brogue said this was done (second time) on Monday.....Noel's comments about more money after visiting Bearwood etc were straight after the Spurs game.

I'm happy to go with Brogue's track record (to date) rather than a load of randoms on Twitter.

Could be the EFL holding up still as this one involves money.

And as mentioned, "asking for more money after seeing the facilities" doesn't track with someone who's been around the club for a good amount of time.

That would be nice - though I am at the point now that I just want Bowler to sign for anyone so we can stop talking about the possible transfer.

Would be an incredibly good signing if it comes off. Would leave us just another striker off a full squad I think. Obviously a bit of further depth (CB, wing, young striker on top) off ideal depth, but it'd leave us as strong or stronger than last year.

I'll be pretty whelmed with Bowler and Cole. If we lose Knibbs and replace with Kamari Doyle then I think the window has been a success despite what the twitter village idiots think.

Got to the point where I'm sick of preseason. Let's get on with it and see some actual competitive football.

To be honest I am at the point that I am not sure whether Josh Bowler is a real person or just a made up person…. Starting to question reality

A few signings have been announced around the 8pm mark. Give it another couple of hours before laying into Brogue.

Not brogues fault, just I think people have lost interest in it as it has been on and off more times than Ross and Rachel,
I will be glad if it does happen as he would be a good addition, but it has gone on a bit. As I write this Sod’s Law he will be announced.

How many times has Brogue announced this one now? Do we think he can get to 5? 10 is surely out of the question?

Gone 9pm now so guess it’s fairly safe to say that today is not the day, so unless he’s parachuted in to sign at HT tomorrow we’ll have to wait to see if anything develops on Monday.

Niece is depressed now. This is not the way to bowl a maiden over.
