stay out of dodgy taxis tonight thenI'm buzzing after reading that
I here I was thinking you'd try to spoil everybody's fun.I want to caveat the following with the comment that I am in no way doubting that @Hercules posts what he does in good faith, nor am I doubting the validity of his information as there is no way the mods would let him post as much as he does, as excitedly as he does without having seen watertight evidence that his knowledge is accurate. However, I think we all need to temper our expectations massively and not be drawn in by how infectious herc’s style of posting can be.
Why? Because anything can change, leaving us disappointed and it won’t be Herc’s fault, it won’t be the club’s fault, it will just be what it is. Le Tissier, Petit, Rivaldo, Willian, Hunterlaar, Keita, all players for whom the deal was at the line, ready to be pushed over, only for something to change at the death. I imagine that there are multiple times more situation similar to this which we’ve never even heard about. The issue is that, thanks to the internet, social media, etc we know so much more, so much earlier than ever before. Don’t make the mistake of thinking anything is signed, sealed and delivered until it is officially announced by the club, or else you leave yourself open to massive disappointment.
The main thing anyone should take from all this lovely ITK Herc is giving us is that the club have identified a way to improve and are doing everything in their power to achieve it, which is all we can ever expect ultimately.

Whoops Fat fingers - undone@ballyconnellyid please feel free to voice your opinion. LeGin is merely saying lets temper our excitement. Herc has been amazing this last 2 windows in particular, but as we all know thing can change. and quick. Remember the quick death of POTL. It happens. Pinch of salt and all.
As a side note, quick to rate, slow to post! 2 post in 7 years.
I 100% am not, but collectively forgetting to apply that metaphorical pinch of salt is exactly what leads to the massive amount of knee jerking and toy throwing that occurs each time the window shuts and people haven't got what they want, as well as putting off several very good ITKs from continuing to give us information.
Lol.And I've amended my vitriol!Whoops Fat fingers - undone

I'm not expecting any significant incomings or outgoings to happen this window, but that doesn't mean we won't be buying.
I'm hearing pushing for three but unlikely for this window. The asking prices though are unprecedented with anything we have done previously so I'm sceptical on our intent to get all of them, and I'm (my opinion only) thinking it's more likely to be a two from three scenario.
The intent has always been for us to be as competitive as possible moving into the new stadium and it looks like we will be making an added push transfer wise to ensure that is the case.
Re the reason I quoted your post in particular.....
I have been reluctant to post anything the last couple of weeks, because the last time I did it swiftly followed with numerous posts using my info as yet another chance to have a pop at Sissokko purely because of how much he cost in comparison. I'm happy to pass bits on that I hear, but if that info is just going to be used(quoted)to fuel unrelated agenda ridden pops at the club/players I just won't bother.

Id like to caveat this post by admitting I didn't read any of your post but I assume it was titillating throughout with an m.night shalamalayan style twist at the end that will have us all reaching for our dicks.I want to caveat the following with the comment that I am in no way doubting that @Hercules posts what he does in good faith, nor am I doubting the validity of his information as there is no way the mods would let him post as much as he does, as excitedly as he does without having seen watertight evidence that his knowledge is accurate.

Mate, the VAST majority of us on here take what you provide in exactly the way it is intended. There will always be a minority of bellends who will use it for their own agenda. Even if you don’t post your info they’ll still roll out their twaddle.I'm not expecting any significant incomings or outgoings to happen this window, but that doesn't mean we won't be buying.

Lol ‘Sunday School’. Match time. I give very honest, to the point info, and hints. To date it is on point. I am going to be more careful, and temper my need to assist with snippets, as some just cannot get how delicate things get. JJ can confirm that.
I will go back to bring very annoyingly vague, because when I let my head out it runs many risks
Safer to be very vague I think
I know for a fact 2 players of stock have been at the complex (HW) very recently, and looks very good. As Trix said there is 3, but I expect 2. We have our hands in many pies. Let’s see what happens.
Personal request please. Accept my comments, or reject them, keeping your opinions to yourself
Take the hint
I’ll say the same to you as Trix Herc. You’re HUGELY appreciated on here. Don’t let a small amount of halfwits dictate to you what you feel you should post, the rest of us really look forward to what you ITK’s have to share with us.Lol ‘Sunday School’. Match time.
