Jose Izquierdo - ALL CONFIRMED - NEW RECORD SIGNING

[Green Cross Code Man]

I was deliberately using BW's phrase.

Nevermind.

Apologies!

 

[MattBackHome]

ANOTHER one I'm ridiculously excited for.

With these signings the club really is spoiling us.

 

[Fef]

Paul Winstanley should be carted around the city in a comfy sedan chair carried aloft by fit nubile wenches wearing this season's shirt.

 

[Easy 10]

Rounded off by some Fondant fancies not hurled at Steve Coppell at Withdean.

Blimey, blast from the past

 

[Beach Hut]

The Premier League is akin to another country in football terms, what a signing and as usual totally conducted away from prying eyes

 

[Triggaaar]

Maybe, he's not going to jump the gun like others. (Permit, personals, medical) to be done it appears.

From the start of this thread we knew there would need to be a medical and work permit. So after being reported on here, Sky and the Argus got hold of it, and reported the same as had already been on here.

 

[mothy]

Who out there had identified this one in the transfers thread? Own up. & take a bow

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Apologies!

You can't hide your pryin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide those pryin eyes

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Some on here are doing the reverse bed wet, the guy hasn't even signed and people are pi55ing on the ceiling with excitement!

He has signed. But the transfer will only happen subject to medical blah blah.

They'll be back as soon as we (in all likelihood) lose to City.

"I know Man City are favourites for the league but Bruno was WOEFULLY exposed for his lack of pace by Sterling, and the new midfielder was SLOPPY in possession...it's a big step up and on that evidence it's going to be a very long season."

Etc etc. Smug and patronising when there's nothing happening, nowhere to be seen if we're winning or if there's good news to celebrate. And they claim to be supporters as much as you or I, who are just frustrated that the club is "wasting this golden opportunity". They're not supporters, they're followers. The key part of being a supporter is offering support. As far as I'm concerned, they can follow off.

This. There is a place for concern, not everything goes right all the time but what gets me is the lack of humility of the doom mongers. I would have a great deal more respect if they would just occasionally come out and admit they may have made a mistake.

If we had signed the same player for £1m would people be excited?

Lets be honest none of us know who the hell he is and are just excited at spunking £16m and assuming he is worth it.

I am sure he is though.

 

[DTES]

Very true - but built into that is a trust that if Tony, Paul B & Paul W all think he's worth £16m, then he must be.

Belgian player of the year, speed demon, someone who likes to score, an impressive youtube array. I don't care how much he is.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

The club hadn't announced Neto and Hughton hadn't spoken about him prior to him failing the medical (as far as I remember)

The fact we've done the press release and Chris has commented is quite telling.

 

[Doc Lynam]

lol

 

[driller]

I am not sure I approve until I see his mrs?

Sure.
What you have against his reporting i simply can't fathom but fair enough you don't value it. Ok.

They are completely drying the bed. Bunch of bed dryers.

I'm excited because he has superb pedigree and looks ****ing qualla.
