Genuine question:-

How is the club able to release a statement to the press and social at 21:30 stating 'oh and we've signed a new player'.


We have 2 clubs
Agents
The agents have agents.
Football thrives on gossip and leaks.


You don't just pluck a 28 year old Dutch international out of the Ajax team and have nobody mention it.

I'm clearly wasting my time reading the BBC sport football rumours !! Come to think of it, we are hardly ever mentioned. I can guess why !!

We’re still waiting for a bloody striker though tbf [emoji23]

They don't come early in the window, alas. Not the 20 GOAL ones !

All you need to do to get Tony to pull his finger out his arse and do the groundwork for some early signings is have a pandemic that shuts down the entire world's sports betting opportunities for two months.

TB's has enough of the long game..... All in

Not sure I want to go that drastic on an ongoing basis, tbh!

I can't believe nobody has spotted what is going on here. 26th July DA phones TB, DA: We've been trying all summer to sign some players but it's nearly the end of July and just like every year this is the week when we need to sign the players. TB: Get lost Ashworth I'm no idiot you can only spend what's left from this season's transfer kitty, the next instalment of £40m for the transfer kitty isn't going in the pot until the new season officially starts. DA: Then all we can have are two highly experienced players with plenty of medals and experience of Champions league football. TB: if you can bring in two like that with the remainder of the pot then I'll throw in an extra £10m for the summer pot

Lets hope we don’t sign a striker in the next few days. We will have ****all to moan about for two months. Two months!

Same old Albion - never getting business done early in the transfer window...

Well it is a first, and it just shows how effective it can be. I told you so.

The most curious thing..
I've let a lot of people down by not posting the breaking news at 21:29, and claiming to the club that my watch said 21:30 when I posted it.
Apple technology let you down again eh?
