I will precede this by saying that I have not heard this first hand, so I will not vouch for the veracity.

But someone currently working at the training ground (a chap I know, who is not a WUM) has apparently been told that an Albion director is on a plane back from South America with a striker. A £9m striker. I don't know his source, so as I say, I am by no means claiming this is FACT. Its just what I have heard, about 10 minutes ago.

Make of it what you will...

Where's our man at Gatwick!?

Crikey. Surely this isn't going to happen. I've been clicking refresh all day anyway now I'll have to up the frequency.

Well dang! I just nailed my colours to the mast with a twitter prediction of zero incoming tomorrow. I'll feel such a goose.

thats as maybe but he is online, with his feet up and a tube of pringles watching this thread go into a meltdown of unknowing!! :lol:

edit; damn - he cam back!!

:lolol:

I am genuinely off down the pub in about half an hour, so I will not be around to see the fallout. Like I say, I'm not claiming this to be FACT as I honestly don't know my "sources source". So its not first hand. But he wouldn't mention something like this unless he'd heard it.

In fairness to Naylor, he has to give some kind of opinion or view on our transfer dealings for tomorrow given he's off tomorrow, so think about it:

He tweets we're making a big signing or it looks very likely - It's true and it will be swept under the rug on here, or it's wrong or falls through and people post nasty things about him for the next 24 hours.

He tweets we're making no signings, our window is done - It's true and it's swept under the rug on here, or it's wrong and everyone laughs at how little Naylor knows.

He tweets that currently nothing seems to be looming but things can change rapidly in a window especially at deadline - It's blasted as being a fence option and poor journalism.

Lose

Same old same old NSC user bollocks.

If Bozza can accept things had gotten slightly ridiculous in regards to the playground bullshit on here between Naylor and NSC, it's about time the rest of you did.

Let's hope that Easys source is bang on and our man is on the plane.

So is your source the non WUM or has your source told you that the non WUM has been told? i.e your source may have made that bit up? Man, I'm confusing myself here.....

i so want to be wrong but this has got eventual disappointment written all over it

I agree. Can't see it myself. The idea that Calleri, who is so highly rated in Argentina, would come to us is ridiculous. However, I've been stunned so far by this transfer window (especially us keeping Dunk rather than selling him to fund other buys) so I'll be hopeful until the window closes tomorrow. If it did come off, it would be the most amazing coup in Albion's history and, if he's as good as reported, mean we are real contenders for a top two position.

You will have to hide on Wednesday if it isn't true even if you are just passing on info most have done a sex wee with that news :lolol:

Probably, but at least it keeps the excitement going. For that I'm thankful after Naylor stuck a pin in the balloon earlier.

My only concern is the lack of anything on twitter of from the news agencies.

You'd think they'd pick up on a b ig deal like this?
