  • Ive heard of a possible foreign signing

    Ex Champs/prem

    Will see if it comes off but Im not one to just release info passed on as I had to prise it out.

    If it comes off then amazed if true


    Just say the name!
    that would give it away mate?

    ive been a member for a fair while and hardly ever been given inside info and even if I did I wouldnt share it but if it did come off Id be like 'fck off thats what he told me'

    Theres thousands of players that fit that mold that I said, however, he plays abroad now so should ring true if we do sign him.
    The infamous Tingle is stirring......

    You do realise Hemed doesnt count as a new signing right? 
  • Honestly pal, youd never guess which is why I wouldnt believe it.

    Player would have been well off the radar for me.

    Not Andy Delort, then?


    hahaha no mate played in London, however, Ill say the name I heard but not until after transfer window as could be people putting names out there just to look good.
    Fair enough, mate. We're all gagging to know, of course.
    But in confidence information must be respected.

    PS: What's the player's Christian name? :smile:


    What makes you think he is a Christian


    I hear he is a devotee of Quetzalcoatl and therefore has a Nahuatl name.

    I'm totally flummoxed by your post, Cordoban. So I've given you a 'like'.

    Very good player on his day but also seen a bad side but I'd imagine wages would be far of our budget. 

    I wouldn't get excited as I'm never given ITK info but it was quite random where I heard it.

    Random guess that fits being former Premier League and Championship, now abroad and probably wages well out of our budget... Max Gradel

    Random guess, Sage? With your .... erm, connections we thought you would know.

    I bet Bexley Boy does. :smile:

    Haha noooo don’t say Gradel!! It’ll be like Groundhog Day...

    We went into the first Jan window with Roland thinking we were gonna sign Gradel and ended up with Peter Parsley...

    Ha, not knowing all the time Oggy. I get bits and pieces, which admittedly are very much more to do with current players like injuries and the Gallagher situation. I’ve got a few things before to do with transfers, but if you’re looking for someone very much in the know on the transfer side for us, that unfortunately isn’t me.

    I’ll give Gallen a call in the morning :wink:

    Thankfully it’s been cleared up it’s not Gradel. Last thing this site needs is another Groundhog Day. Was just trying to fit the profile and he came to mind.

    Any players agent will also know how desperate we are to have people play soon and will ask over the odds for a quick deal. It may be that by not giving in to short term factors does us well in the long run. Could be these points are vital to staying up. Either way I can see the reasoning in not being bent over backwards by agents. Got to set a precedent.

    It's not Gradel? Did Steve Gallen mind you calling him this late at night?

    So, just to be clear, what exactly does not saying the name achieve? Everyone on here knows how rumours work, some come off and some don’t. No need to build up suspense just come out with it.

    Yeah I'm with you. A lot of us have heard stuff that's gone on to be incorrect or not worked out. Would prefer the player is just named. Although saying that were all tense at the minute so that's contributing!
