    Absolutely beautiful if JRS comes off. Yes, I know Bell can play LB, and that Mesik seems to be able to play anywhere in the back 4, and that Docherty might still be here and Knibbs/JRC aren't here instead but blimey, it's nice to have some depth!!!
    You need beating for those numbers there
    It was the default ones unfortunately and couldn't be arsed to change it...

    Would £5m break our transfer record? I think Bent ended up being our record signing after all the add ons. 
    Pretty sure it’s still Jason Euell at 4.75m ish
    Darren Bent was £3m with add-ons but also another £3m-ish I think when we sold to Spurs, so technically higher all together.

    But Euell is the biggest upfront fee.

    Hope we sign JRS and he doesn't break the record, means we'd have got him cheaper.

    So if JRS came in, who plays?, he starts you would imagine, Grant hasn’t come to sit on the bench, Tc plays. Tough decisions for NJ, especially when Kelman is fit, Ouma is fit, Chalobah stays fit. The competition from the midfield going forward is looking a lot better, I was critical of CC, but actually think he may step up to the challenge. Knibbs, Doc, JRC might not get loads of game time. The better looking quality we have brought in might just make everyone better. I think we are moving in the right direction.

    I'd go for Campbell on the left, Grant in the middle and JRS on the right but TBH it wouldnt be an easy choice.

    Tom Kamikaze just doesn't command his area, he rarely comes for crosses just stands on his goal line. He doesn't control shots i.e. instead of catching he pushes the ball away which is fine if he pushes it sideways away from the goal but he pushes it back into the danger area. How did he ever become a million pound keeper ? He's now added a new technique to his goalkeeping, stands on flat feet watching the ball fly past him into the net.

    People are asking if AO is any better than what we have, well I have to say I hardly know anything about him but he surely can't be any worse than what we already have & it's a season loan so we're not tied to any 4 bloody year deal if he turns out to be not quite what we need.

    Away with these sensible post's...😉
    sorry :'(

    I assumed this was a joke.

    It’s Darren Bent after the sell on to Ipswich from us selling him to Spurs.
    Believe Spurs paid 18mil for Bent if I remember correctly. 
    £16m I thought. But that is a sale.
    I think we are talking the most we have paid for a player, and I agree with WWS.
    Kinda sad that our most expensive signing was back that far. (2020/21?).
    A quarter of a century ago!

    I make that 26 over 21s, so we'd have to let one player on there go along with Doc.

    Have we moved past the half-baked bread puns? Because i have one here and it would be a shame not to use it,

    Fantastic bit of sleuthing, however even Colombo would have got his instant Polaroid camera out for photo evidence!! Can CL set up a kitty to buy Blackfenlen a phone for any future sneaky peaks through the fence.😂

    Feels like it's between JRC, Knibbs and Apter in my opinion

    Don't you dare. It's been a relief to get away from bread puns for the last few flours.

    Went to read the JRS rumours on the other site and Doc possibly going on loan to Scotland was mentioned. None of those four going would surprise me.

    Underwhelmed. Raya and Semenyo are clearly better than Okonkwo and JRS...why aren't we going for them?

    Please all manage your expectations. He hasn’t signed yet and we’re all so desperate to think that he will that we’re willing to believe any rumour.

  • Sending Apter out would be mental. Leaves us in the exact same position we are in now with only one rw

    If Apter goes, Alli will be the second option on the right I would imagine

    TC and JRS on 3 year deals with an option would make this a decent window tbf. So very unlikely to happen imo.

    How much would JRS be on a week? Must be 20-25k at Palace.
    oh bugger... here we go again! 
    Yep, back to discussing bread
  • Imagine announcing JRS and TC’s contract extension as the final reveal of the window. The meltdown on here will be incredible!
    The meltdown will probably be that it's the final reveal. 

    "Alright that's done who's next"  :D
