I guess the other thing is that' date=' if we are building a side that can compete well at CCC level, if they get more chance to gel, if they're not just thrown together if/when we go up.[/quote']

 

exactly, the last thing we'd want to do is keep building teams every time we get promoted - the core of this team is being build now.

 

i'd imagine though that when we get to the prem. we'll invest quite a sum in a bit more quality, but i'd expect some of our current lads to still be in the squad.

Thats a good point too, along with decent wages, a core squad that get along with eachother and have a bit of banter are likely to be happier, and want to stay together, as well as going that extra step to want to chase down a ball for the team, put in a foot for the team etc.

 

Le Tiss's book says how his days under Bally were great because there was a good sense of everyone playing for eachother, and the longer they have to work out how eachother play, makes a big difference.

Actually made me laugh, and I'm usually the first one to have a go about people posting cack. You do have to look a little more closely though.

 

Good use of Danns' twitter profile pic as well, I thought.

Spain have got some sh *t-hot video editing schools apparently.

word from where pilchards ??

 

Was told that Palace excepted our 2nd offer but Danns is not happy with what we offered him, something to do with future bonuses or something.

I honestly think it would be something to do with playing in League One. Fonte might have gone for it, and Stock maybe, but surely they're not all going to drop down a league for at this precise moment in time looks very likely to be a season and a half of third tier football. Even with the fantastic set up we have It's just a bit odd.

 

It's almost like football players are unthinking mercenaries......

If it has got to the point that future bonuses is stopping a deal that at least shows he is willing to come if resolved. If true then I would predict it being sorted after future negotiations soon.

The majority of modern footballers will play anywhere if they're paid enough, think it fairly certain we must be offering these players very decent contracts to drop down a league.

According to his latest tweet, Danns' twitter has been down, hence why he's not responded to any questions. Is he playing for time until a decision's been made on whether or not he's joining us...?

 

I'll help him out: a quick signature on that lovely contract and you can tell the world how pleased you are to be joining your old mate Jose at the Saints. Simples.

Idiakez really wanted to play for Burley regardless of the money...

No surprising revelations on his wiki page yet. It's been a pretty exciting week, what with Ward setting up a jam factory with Rudi Skacel and Fonte starting a ghost hunting society with Carsten Janker and Derek Acorah.

Its weird that neither this rumour or the stock one have appeared in any newspapers... all we have is supposedly ITK info

 

No-one really gives a shít about League One transfers. We got about 2 sentences in the Sun when we signed Fonte.

The fact its not in any papers or anything makes me think this deal may actually go ahead, everything we have done so far they have managed to keep out of the press (barring the echo) and present it in a proffessional way. Top businessmen and i really hope they pull these out of the bag!!

The breakdown I got was we agreed a deal with Palace on Thursday and Danns had talks on Saturday morning which he refused our first offer that meant he missed the trip.

Since then I have no idea but I'm guessing he is waiting for the 2nd offer like Fonte did (if that snippet was true which I read on here)
