Thanks, Herc. Just hope there’s something else that might happen

Interesting - I’m not sure most have an idea what type of ITK (club connection/agent connection/player connection/bank/etc) each is so hard to contextualise.

The tea lady used to be one of the more reliable ones but since Levy installed vending machines the source dried up.

 

[absolute bobbins]

I wonder which side closed the door?

 

[George94]

So if no Grealise then who? Nobody is my guess, staggering

We won't sign anyone! Remember, window shuts at 17:00 - only about 5 and a half hours left.

We've heard nothing of any incomings minus Grealish...

 

[boogy down]

Tottenham will not be making a further bid today for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, Sky Sports News understands.

Well that's probably it then.

Now is the time to hand in that request Jack.....

Probably easier to say all doors are closed and we fucked this window and then enjoy your day...

Hello darkness my old friend... cheers Hercules mate. lol Please give us some good news today, no pressure.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Feel sorry for Grealish, Villa shouldn’t stand in his way! 25/30 million is more than a fair price imo.

 

[Mississippi Slim]

Shame we didn’t get our fingers out and get Kovacic on loan!

Seeming him go to Chelsea, when he’s exactly what we need, is worse than no signings.

What an unmitigated cock up this window has been. I do wonder what Poch will now make of his ‘assurances’.

Chelsea had a player RM wanted. Maybe we could have gotten Kovacic on loan as make weight for Kane?

An utter disgrace if this is the case and no excuses whatsoever, weve spent the whole summer trying to get Grealish & now we failed with seemingly nothing else falling in place

 

[crokey]

Going into a new stadium I should be more excited than ever but instead I don't really care. Incredible

Hahahaha

 

[Mr Pink]

Mother of God

 

[Indisguise]

I wonder which side closed the door?

Irrelevant really since all our eggs shouldn't be in the solitary unproven championship player basket.

I’m not sure in what context he is close to the club, but I do know that VY doesn’t reveal anything which isn’t spot on, I think he’s the only 200% track record but that’s potentially also because he doesn’t delve in the most exciting/ risky info, just what he’s certain as fact, though I’m happy to be corrected by those more informed than me as that’s just in opinion formed over the last decadeish.

 

[ackie]

Don’t do it, ackie- we know how this ends

I'm refusing to believe that a shrewd businessman like Levy and an outstanding manager like MoPo, both visionaries and knowing we are a top 4 club with a state of the art world-class training facility, opening a high class stadium, competing to win something and maintaining our standard will not add to our squad.
Liverpool have tackled the key problems to challenge Man City. Man Utd are looking to add and solve their defensive problem. Arsenal have signed some players. Chelsea have done their business and may not have finished yet with either Zaha or Martial. I can't see Levy and MoPo just sitting there and do nothing.
Something has to happen... I believe

 

[Stamford]

Feel sorry for Grealish, Villa shouldn’t stand in his way! 25/30 million is more than a fair price imo.

But its not because they don't want to sell. Anyway we were told he wasn't the first option so we've failed on multiple fronts. The blame lies with us

 

[Primativ]

I completely agree we shouldn't overspend on Grealish. No way he is worth more than £25 million.

Whole fucking house is shut by the sound of things

I've been waiting on tender hooks (that's another one for you fans of yesterday's thread) for your first post of today, yank.

*tenterhooks*

A tenter was a frame for stretching cloth, the cloth being pulled tight across the frame on hooks – hence in a state of suspense. You're welcome.
