MR. CYNICAL
Brogue Hunt is on about Williams, i've had this confimred right from the very top

in brogue we trust

So far you've confirmed Cole, Bowler, Ritchie amongst others, personally I think you're full of shit, could be wrong but let's see


Living up to your name I see.

Not that I need to prove anything. But I got Liam Fraser, Paddy lane. Daniel Kyerewaa Kamari Doyle Finley burns all correct and before anyone else on here or twitter. Also called the Ireland trip and the kit release day.

My record speak for itself. Of course some haven’t happened that’s the nature of football transfers. Things change. To my knowledge the people you mention have all agreed terms but are waiting to see if anyone else comes in before the window closes.

Brogue clearly has a sauce and inside info.

He's also very happy trolling people, knew nothing about at least one signing and has 'confirmed' several that haven't happened. So he's not exactly reliable.

Can we sign Devante Rodney, so we can have Delboy and Rodney?

Therefore there can’t be anything signed contractually, so the associated deals could not be classed as “done” as reported.

Makes perfect sense. After all, it is who and where we are now.

Right before anyone says it again I am not brogue or Gus on another account. At the moment the pair of them seem to be the only ones putting information out with some amount of truth and backing in regards to rumours for signings.
We don’t really have a journalist team going out there anymore and Jacob gave up the bush years ago. So this is it and I am thankful they are posting what they know even if some of it doesn’t come off.

Brogue especially could be a bit more friendly I concede at times. But if I was them if people keep bashing them I would say sod you then and stop posting what I know.

Then we literally would have no rumours with any substance.

So Thankyou Brogue and Gus.

2 year deal announced

Not sure on this personally but guess the experience can’t hurt

Spoke to some people over here about Derrick Williams and they said "Who in the damn hell is Dirk Willyums? Now git."

Does he have any pace? Feels like the main thing our current options lack.

I don't know why, but just looking at him he looks injury prone.....

A bit surprised by this one.

Seems there's no transfer fee, but Atlanta have a future sell-on fee: https://www.atlutd.com/news/atlanta-uni ... ng-fc-2025 :?

Lots of Atlanta fans seem pretty gutted by this move and it looks like he was highly rated which bodes well. A few mentioned he's lost his legs so I'm guessing that's an age and fitness related thing....however at 32 he should be ok for a few more years at least especially as a CB.
Its looking like this may be a clever move by the club adding much needed experience to the team :D

Sutekh He played for Atalanta on Saturday so is presumably match fit too.

Unfortunately Atlanta rather than Atalanta. The latter would have a bit more pedigree.

I watched a lot of the Club World Cup and I have to say MLS defences looked very poor when compared to those from most other nations - especially Mexican clubs.

I'm concerned we've given him a two-year deal, as opposed to a 1+1, especially if his legs have gone. Will be interesting to see how he does though.
