From the other forum this might be the biggest wind up though but who knows haha.
"Hi all, first time posting but always enjoy the debates on this forum.
Wanted to pass on something I had heard which looks pretty reliable - expecting two in this week - I have been told that it is Knibbs and Kelman. Both are “close to complete”. After that, there is interest on a player in the Asian market, although no name has been given. Been told to expect a big week.
Understand anyone’s skepticism as a first time poster, but watch this space"
Here it is - it was the new member's first post on the other forum.
What doesn't fit is Knibbs going to Ireland with Reading, though that doesn't mean the clubs aren't negotiating.
If we sign Knibbs and Kelman it'll be the best window I can remember
Ron Saunders was a small centre forward but I was amazed at how good he was in the air. He seemed to specialise in the diving header.
Wasn’t bad as a manager as well.
Got Villis through to quarter finals European Cup as well as winning League the year before.
NB He was sacked at Villa before playing quarter final.
Saunders resigned from Villa. His assistant instead took Villa to European glory. Very good Villa team that, team not a squad as basically the same 11 featured nearly every week.
It would be an interesting one if pulled off, not a market we’ve really tapped into before, would be interesting to see if he could settle in a brand new country, from the article 800,000 looks like it would be well worth it but it’s not my money so who knows
Reminds me of when we tried to sign Alex the left back from the 2002 Japanese WC squad.
We did more than try to sign him, deal was done, he was at games, I used to see him there. He couldn’t get a work permit. Bizarre. Decent player. Brazilian but was eligible to play for Japan.

whether he’s any good mind, I haven’t got a Fukuda.
Get it done Charlton.
Madame Sherry is always telling me she hates football…Football and menthol cigarettes.
NB: my source is the same article that got posted on here
Great to see us looking outside of the usual markets too.
