I'm gonna get a bit excited. Even Madon said it could be cobblers, but dammit, it's been such a dull window I wanna dream a bit. Maybe learn to have a little tug about it like @Oldgregg86

That was Marcus Maddison.

Oh dear! You don't have to put your connections at risk to sate the frothing masses, you know. We will salivate on snippets and teasers, especially in a quiet window. Just ask Nicko You can just tell us who it is when it's close to breaking anyway. Your source probably wouldn't mind so much then.

Good player though right? I think he just isn't a Pulis style player. Been shunted out on the wing someone was saying, and still has roughly 1 in 3. The wages make me question whether it is possible, but I think he'd be an excellent signing...if used right (there's the rub). Could see him being pushed wide here too. Or maybe we are planning to transition to two up top.

Most people masturbate. But you masterbate, because you're a true master at it. We salute you, and your transfer speculation related w@nking skills.

Nope, you told me you didn't think it fits the profile and that it's unlikely. I never asked you about that. I asked what you think if it does happen. Would it be a good signing, etc. Do you really think if you'd answered the question, I'd have pointed out that you didn't? If someone says something like that, I'd recommend you go back and read what they asked you, and think whether you answered it. Easier than me typing all this out on my phone.

We are going for both, or you've both heard it and are speculating? Not to be picky, I just want to be clear. Cheers.

You lost me with the opposites bit?

That's not what I asked though.

Cheers. Have you heard that it would be both him and Gally, or are you speculating on that part?

Doesn't necessarily mean anything. Do you have thoughts on this as a transfer if it does happen?

Conspiracy theory here, but I could see someone higher up thinking it's a good idea to have a bid accepted knowing we won't be able to agree personal terms. Then you turn around and say we tried but the player wanted too much for our wage structure. But at least we look ambitious to the fans...

70%? What does that mean in real terms? Sounds kinda like fee more or less agreed but personal terms not discussed yet? Any idea whether this is permanent or loan to a view (presumably with a big loan fee)?

The loss we took on him, you'd think so.

You can hide. But I will find you. And I will kill you.

Even Rhodes was sold at a profit, and we sold several of the players in the list for more than we bought Rhodes for. I can only think of a few who we spent money on to make a loss.

Do you?? As in, the ins and outs are similar total figures? I highly doubt that. Surely we have recouped at least double what we have spent in fees. Venkys' losses have been in covering wages (and at one time, agent fees) with so little natural income at the club.

He was very good today. Played well for much of the Ipswich game too. Not long ago he looked lost at RB.

Well I tried to change it promptly to Neophox's, as I realised that was who he was quoting originally. But it seems you saw it too quickly to be spared.

I think he's saying he would have sex with Neophox's daughter. Good news, right? What he's been waiting for?

Someone claims, not points out. Doesn't seem very likely based on what we've seen and heard about him before.

Bit of an unfair accusation towards a lad who turned down big bucks City's offer to try and earn regular football. You're implying he is doing it on purpose.

Of course it computes. Let's use an extreme example. If you spend a quid on a lottery ticket, that's a small risk by almost anybody's standards. With the 'big if' of a huge potential payout. Whether you think the potential payout is worth the level of outlay decides how much of a risk it is. That will vary from person to person on here, and also depend what the fee is. Speaking of which, any inkling of the fee yet? For me, 300k or less and I'm content to take the risk. Especially if we've kept sell ons and add ons to a minimum. It would only be a 'huge risk' if we are paying in excess of 500k, for me. Even then it could still pay dividends and is a much smaller gamble than Brereton.

He crossed my mind when Lenihan was down and I was worried Williams would be coming on...

Totally agree, we've been superb. Hull are looking again like that awful team we played in our second game, I doubt that will last into the second half though so, without wanting to be greedy, I've also been hoping we snag a third. Which we nearly did a couple of times. I started thinking in the Ipswich game that we were finally starting to show shoots of the more passing-based game Mowbray has talked about. I chalked it off to it being against an easy team, so we would look better at all that anyway, but that perhaps TM chose that game to experiment with it. Today though it's looking more like it's intentional. We'll see how we carry on.
