Ike Ugbo. Pretty confident this gets done. A lot of people all being told the same now.

I can’t believe that I’m saying this but I’m beginning to like JRC.

There was a complete ban on increased expenditure during COVID including on players contracts. When it came to the point where contracts where offered players had ~12 months left (some with year options) and realised they had plenty of options. It’s piss poor management.

Then it comes down to your level of self respect. If I was in that situation I give you my word I’d quit regardless of the money. He won’t.

To be fair to Ben he’s told the club he won’t sign a new deal for over a 18 months now and the club have rejected numerous chances to sell him without him once kicking up a fuss. This isn’t his fault.

I can’t say I’d ever heard the name Iling Junior until yesterday. I suspect it’s very pie in the sky, especially after the feedback on here. It makes me think someone somewhere has “identified” that Iling Junior is a very good player, he doesn’t get into the Juventus squad 95% of the time, he doesn’t need a work permit and someone has asked the question and they’re open to it. Then he’ll sign for Watford.

This isn’t the end of the world, the sizing is awful, you need a good 2 sizes bigger than you are!

Announced:

Before this happens, to be absolutely clear this is from a message I’ve received this evening from someone I hardly know that claims it’s been mentioned at the U21 game. I have absolutely no idea if it’s good info or bad!

JDT all but did today in his interview with Radio Lancs. I suspect there’s an agreement between all parties for it to be announced at a mutually acceptable time.

BBD has signed for Villarreal. He can’t go anywhere but there.

Been given a new name tonight - not a usual source, so don’t hold it against me if it’s wrong. Supposedly was being discussed at the U21 game tonight. Thought it was worth posting incase. Samuel Iling-Junior - England Youth, Ex Chelsea, now at Juve. I’d assume a potential loan. He plays anywhere across left wing, right wing or striker. Also played left wing back.

How many millions have you paid the BBC for that report?

We’d have a lot more options if we’d have sold BBD for 8.8M in summer like I recommended. Can’t moan now that we don’t have any money when we turned down enough to buy a good winger and striker. Just saying.

Not very, don’t want him.

Nope — I’ll be donating £10 to a @RevidgeBlue charity I suspect. I was told: They thought that had Haikan in, with Pears going to Pompy. Pompy then decided to get the Luton keeper instead, which stopped Haikan. They thought they were well ahead with Porteous and when Hyam got injured decided to get it done now. Seems like he’s going to Watford instead. Undav was first choice but he’s decided he thinks he can break into the Brighton team rather than go on loan and they’re happy for him to try as we where only covering a small bit of his wage. Then they were moving on to their fourth target, who turned out to be Sorba Thomas (I didn’t get a name). Ironically Thomas is the first one over the line and when I was told the above I didn’t even get a name for who it was because it was only just progressing. Also got the name Ramsay from Liverpool on loan as cover at right back allowing JRC to go on loan until the end of the season whilst he’s playing well. But haven’t heard that since.

Project signings are a thing of the past really with the latest FFP.

Undav isn’t happening, change of plan at the Brighton end. They’re now trying to work out if they have let someone else take pole position with Geldhart.

Its Sorba Thomas on loan. Done and dusted.

Haha - I mean I said BBD to Villareal was done before most media and now i'm calling 2 new signings before Saturdays game. I'll likely be wrong because its still early and hard to predict the future but I'll gamble on the below before Saturday: 1) We'll sign one player that hasn't been mentioned in the press as a target yet (all I've got - been told I 'can't have a name but the name hasn't been put in the press yet') 2) We'll sign one of Gerdalt / Undav on loan aligned to Vilarreal announcing BBD on a pre-contract to try and soften the blow

J*B is 1 for 1 in the transfer window and is going for 2!

You’re the only one that has so far - we have a deal.

It’s his side, not ours!

I think we’ll sign two before Saturdays game, three if we can move Pears on. Again, might be wrong.

City play 433 almost every game!
