I think all of you lot who are reading tonnes of significance into the wording "Plan A" in Grey Fox's info and guessing at potential targets with an A at the front of their name are WAY overdoing it. It's so much more likely that those words should be taken at face value and that Grey Fox just meant our original first-choice target rather than an oblique hint to Andy The Aardvark.

I know that JJ called Dembele and Dempsey with his "Plan D" info last year, but if you look at Grey Fox's record he doesn't tend to post too cryptically. If he'd said "Plan N" or something then there would be a good chance that the info contained a cryptic hint; as it is "Plan A" most probably means exactly that.

Joel owns TheRightClaim, as has been mentioned.
His company appears in every matchday programme in the sponsors page along with hundreds of other companies.
Aside from that he has been match day (matchball maybe) sponsor previously, which included a post match man of the match presentation to Brad Friedel, which I believe he picked.

I know Joel and can vouch for him. If Rob or a mod want to pm me I can provide further info but I'm not posting the man's life story, or what I know of it, publicly on here.

He has many connections at the club. Current employees, current players and explayers.

Might get a bit of stick for this but I don't think we should buy any more players, if we get any more I fear the phrase "too many cooks spoil the broth" will come into play.

28 first team players. But we can expect to move some of them - Gomes, BAE, Carroll (loan), Gylfi (loan may be), Ade (may be). so, it's not unreasonable to expect a 23 players squad, which will leave room for a couple more signings.

The OS has 28 players. If we omit Bale (out), Carroll (loan), Fryers (loan) that makes a squad of 25. Ade and Benny could be on their way out and will be replaced. Either way that's still 3 keepers, 8 defenders, 11 midfielders and 3 strikers. Bearing in mind we only play 1 striker up front that's a pretty balanced team and I'd say pretty much spot on in terms of numbers for all competitions.

AVB apparently likes to work with a 22 man squad apparently so I wouldn't be shocked to see Siggy go and maybe even Lennon, but who knows. I think

The 28 includes Obika, Dawkins, Bale and Gomes, none of whom will ever play for us again.

I reckon we've got the expected 25, including Ade and BAE who will likely be directly replaced in the next 48 hours.
