[Albion] BHAFC Transfer Rumor Tracker

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Thanks @Dagan really helpful…..

In terms of ‘rumour’ versus ‘rumor’, seriously, who cares?

Graham Parker.

Most of the americanisations are the original English spellings. They mostly haven't changed the spellings that were taken over there in the 1700s.

Not always true, a lot were down to the cost of printing and the creation of ‘boilerplate’ articles (which were created for one newspaper and sold to others through metal printing plates) so less letters in words meant it cost less To print and send. So like everything American it is driven by capatalism

Is that the American spelling?

No fat fingers on my part

A suspiciously American condition!

[Han Solo]

Bit more of a forward but also able to play attacking midfielder. A bit like Joao Pedro in that sense.

Graham Parker.

Sorry Harry wasted on me.

Loved graham Parker and his rumour

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Sorry Harry wasted on me.

Graham Parker and the Rumour was a pub rock 'outfit' in the late 70s and early 80s.

Exactly, so the point is null for me.

Just be thankful someone has taken time to produce a useful summary…..

I’ll try and work my way thru it, period.

 

[Dagan]

This is really well done and looks to be an enjoyable thread. I can't see politics getting into this one.
One thing, can someone or the original poster explain why the height column is of any significance to a potential target?

Thank you.

Last summer, I tracked height and weight, but weight was often harder to find (or at a minimum added an extra step or two (finding it and converting it)), so I only included height this year. I chose to share those physical details, because I thought some people would care to know. Perhaps one without the other is less helpful, but I didn't feel like it was worth the extra work. This thing takes up a chunk of time as it is. Last year, I maintained separate tabs by position as well, but again, making sure to copy and paste any change into multiple tabs just added more time.

You be like bruh, not thinking this thru, it’s like couldn’t care more, like speak freaking ’mericun.

Minor point but the values and wages on Transfermkt are absolute nonsense.

The wage/week is also a bit pointless. It would be better to either leave it blank, or put what their expected wage is. I think Minteh might be getting a bit more than £4,230 a week. Gruda's £1,940 looks spot on though.

If we aren't his absolute first choice out of suitors... then I'm not sure id want him!

Me to…saw them at the Dome …I think 1977

Me too - March 1977. Looked him up and amazed to see that he's still going - without The Rumours though

Kieran Trippier: Newcastle United defender keen to leave club this month

England full-back Kieran Trippier wants to leave Newcastle United before the transfer window closes.

Happy with that but wages would be a massive issue!
