[Albion] Ferdi Kadioglu **Singed 27/08/24**

[sparkie]

I think that both Kadıoğlu and Gomez are done and we are just spreading out the announcements.

Whether there will be a 3rd signing before deadline is more uncertain.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Norwich .,. You heard it here first.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Maybe he didn't come to sign for the Albion after all. What if, in some sort of Price-ean twist, he flew here to undergo some sort of cosmetic surgery?

Well I'm pretty sure WBG only went to Naples for fashion advice

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

That's Turks for you.

I have a follow up to this involving a fez being stuck on his head and a kebab glued to his hand to try and further the illusion, but I'm worried that at some point I'd take it too far so I'm not going to write any of that.

Just like that?

I found a Rembrandt and a Stradivarius in my loft the other day. Etc. Etc.

I promise you this is true.

I had just finished reading your post, and on my TV, I'm half-watching an episode of 'Caught on Dashcam', and the commentator says 'like those Sharknado movies'.

What are the chances of that happening, eh?

I've seen about 5minutes of the end of one of them.

David Hasslehoff was in it for some reason, and somebody chainsawed their way out of the belly of a shark.

Didn't feel any need to watch any more of them. I've got Godfrey Ho ninja films to watch if I want a "so bad it's good" vive.

I'd never heard of Godfrey Ho ninja films, but I'll file it away for future reference.
Do you think we ought to get back to Ferdi?

Oh we definitely should.

I'll just leave you with this though.


Anyway...

I'm sure the perceived delay in the signing being announced is nothing to worry about.

 

[US Seagull]

Dang it. He's not going to be available for Crawley is he? How will we cope?

 

[Professor Plum]

O'Really?

I think the proper gag is:
- Brighton have just signed a player from Celtic!
- Oh really?
- No, O’Riley.

 

[Mike Small]

What I mean is we're not buying up the biggest and best like Blackburn did, or just buying a lot of players like Forest did. It feels like Bloom's masterplan has been leading up to this moment all along.

No, the West Hams and Villas, Leeds and Newcastle before them all spent big on established Prem players, and that did not go under the radar. I just watched Limeker, Shearer and Micah's podcast prediction for the 2024/25 season team by team, and they have not got a f***ing clue what is going on, no reasearch done whatsoever. Indeed, Richards spent all of his Albion segment laughing at how he had mispronounced Gross "Pascal Grow" (silent esses) before all 3 agreed ""yeah, midtable" and moved on swiftly - and more enthusiastically - to Chelsea.

I think this is the biggest assault on a Top 6 spot by a club outside the Big 10 ever in the Prem. But under the radar because it's all about the Top 6 clubs.

Agree. I'm not being precious but the punditry on what's going on with us is abysmal. I quite like it that way though. We are going to finish above one of the 'top 8' as at absolute minimum and no-one is seeing this. Only Carragher seems to have mentioned Albion in any sense when he named Minteh as the player to watch this year.

Yeah, but I was replying to someone who'd spelled his name incorrectly, so I was just joining in

 

[Madafwo]

My money is on that the deal is done and dusted, we're just waiting for a Turkish flag with an Albion logo on it, once weve got that, we'll be good to go.

Has Merson made his annual Albion to be relegated forecast?

Is he not an Orelly Man?

'Quite high' is the disappointing answer.

'Quite high' is the disappointing answer.

Well, that's taken the wind out of my sails. There was me thinking I was onto something ethereal or other-worldly, but you bring me crashing back down to earth.

I feel crushed.

Please don’t.

Think about it. Thousands of times a day, one has a thought or hears or reads or sees a cultural reference without there being any coincidental mention on TV. The law of averages says this is expected and predictable. However the same law of averages says that just now and then, perhaps every few hundreds of thousands of instances, two of these cultural references will coincide to give you that frisson of excitement. This was one of those rare but inevitable instances.
