Does he do the tours also, he might be the leaker about the players wages as well, loose talk costs jobs

I don't think that Vicente was every our main target, Gus said "sometimes a player comes along who is too good an opportunity to miss". This summer I don't think we have signed anyone yet who is 1 of our 3 top targets. Just off the top of my head I think CMS is the only player that Gus has signed who was ever on the top of his list everyone else proves to be too greedy or turns us down
Not to my knowledge, and he didn't really tell me anything I didn't know, apart from the massive bit !

The last bit made me giggle. The rest is cloud nine stuff though. We've got a wage cap around 10% of what he'd want a week.

Must be either Kenwyne Jones or Emile Heskey as they are the only ones mentioned previously who could be considered to be massive.
You said we rarely get a big signing. That's got nothing to do with whether or not they're our first target. There are thousands of good players in the world that would be great signings for us, you don't just pick a couple and say it has to be them, otherwise you pay over the odds. You need to have an open mind and get one that will help our team without breaking the bank. Your logic means that if we signed Messi, that wouldn't be a big signing, because he wasn't our target.
Firstly, as I've said, I think our club are open minded and don't just fix on a couple of targets (only the richest clubs need, and can afford to do that). Secondly, I don't suppose you know who our top 3 targets are, if indeed we have a top 3 targets. We might just have a big list.

I have no idea of the list, but as time goes on I think we all know we will sign a CM and probably a striker.
If I was one of those targets I'd probably hold out too, as the price isn't going to go down is it?
I'm not looking for a marque name just someone who can boss midfield and they don't have to have played for
Inter Milan. I'd be delighted with either a signing from Burnley or Millwall, as long as he could do the job required.
i absolutely love the fact we don't have a clue

Can't think of anything about Jones that would be described as massive although he is a big lad! Unfortunately not exactly quick to make his way forward beyond the halfway line which is Stoke fans' main gripe about him.Definitely not a player who would provide effective support for CMS. Fortunately, in my view, Jones is linked strongly to West Ham
Heskey on the other hand is massive! He is huge! He is also surprisingly quick across the ground even now.However, Heskey is interesting a couple of Saudi clubs as well as, reportedly, Hull (he played under Steve Bruce quite successfully at Birmingham).
Both seem unilkely in the context of BHAFC.

Oh dear lord. The above three posts really sum up how absurd parts of this board have become.

What, do you expect me to tell you the persons name? I'm telling you what I heard from a very reliable source. This is a football forum where transfers are discussed right?

Yes, but the amount of people who talk utter cack on here claiming they have a "SAUCE" yet fail to name them as other than having "connections" with the club is ludicrous. You have said we are "close to signing two players". GREAT. I could have told you that at 2:49 a.m. Tuesday morning. I tell you who has regular contact with Gus and the team, about 3/4 of my friends who actually WORK for the club. They used to be able to let me know everything about transfers etc (look at my history 100% right) but as the club has moved on they no absolutely nothing. Not a clue. Why? Because we have a much more proffesional way of doing things at this club and 99% of people on here know absolutely sod all.
