My take on FFP is that it is designed to protect the long term health of clubs and bring some stability to football - which shows signs of descending into widespread chaos in the not too distant future. If we stick to the principles of FFP it won't matter what other clubs do in the medium term...

It sounds like the Grabban deal has stalled for now because TB is refusing to be played by the agent. Seems we want to buy players to improve this team but not at any cost. If that's the case I couldn't agree with his approach more. It's a sign - along with his investment in infrastructure...

I understand that it is a fairly common misconception amongst the ignorant that homosexuals prey on the young as well as the same sex. Astonishing but still true.

Wouldn't know. Sky Sports subscription ended yesterday (somewhat to my surprise - forgot Id ditched it a few weeks back).

Yes they are showing concern. But perhaps they don't realise that this is very common practice. That in most cases they wouldn't have heard about the negotiations and that this is just the way things sometimes/often happen? It would clearly be better if he had signed yesterday. He may never sign...

As ever in the window it's the ignorant getting flustered by the ill informed and all of this feeding of the catalyst of social media.

It's not a farce though is it. In "the old days" we'd have known nothing about this. We'd simply have heard that it had been done. So this isn't a farce, it's a negotiation. And if he values himself too highly, we'll try someone else.

And on train news, there was yet another landslip at wadhurst on the Hastings line yesterday afternoon so expect more delays there.

Positional sense: Greer > Adam

Did he?

I'm not going to get into a squabble with you on this thread - but on every thread you can you have referred to Barnes and had a go about him or anyone who suggests a different view to yours. Again and again and again you have done this. What you said "to show empathy" was this "Trust me, some...

Let it go. You're on the verge of being a little bit dull about Ashley Barnes.

I had Hans Kraay as a user name way back. The board was re reformatted in the early forties and I didn't rejoin for some reason. On coming back, the name had understandably gone. Hence The Real Hans Kraay. But happy to share the great man with anyone. Pleased to see he is remembered so fondly...

He ran the entire length of the pitch to do it as well!!

Super star. Nice bloke. Nutter. And love the Albion fans.

That's a bit like asking half way through baking a cake, how does it taste. And the answer is that it doesn't matter because it has little relation to how the cake will eventually taste.

Me too!

Aren't we all in our own ways? He's a football fan like you and me - logic doesn't come in to it.

The problem is that a club will enquire about and then speak with a significant number of players in the transfer window. Some of these conversations will leak out. It doesn't mean that we want to buy everyone we are talking to and most negotiations will come to nothing. This does not indicate a...
