"players in depends on players out,"

I wonder how long it will be before we hear that old excuse trotted out!

Think we have been spoiled beyond belief in the early days of this summer break and are now back to the normal periods of quietness and the associated assumptions that go with it.

Think the Vertonghen deal is going to test the patience of a few on here (more than it already has!).

Yep. I do wonder if the whole negotiation team surrounding Vert - agents, chairmen, player, masseuses, hydrotherapists, bach flower remedy therapists etc etc - have done the deal but have been lost in a strange black hole somewhere in Belgium, unable to get out. How would we know? It's at moments like this, of Ken Campbell/Fortean Times epic strangeness, that we have to widen our understanding of Life and keep faith and hope alive. We will find them. They will find us. Nothing is lost forever. Somewhere soon a particular leaf will fall from a particular olive tree in, say, southern Italy, and with this delicate act the spell will be broken and all will be well again. There. That's optimism and one-ness for you all, this fine summer's day. God, I almost believe it myself.

Not long I suspect because it's a pretty valid 'excuse'.

Agree with this.

Though I think this was a clear reason why we brought in loans rather than "squad signings" past couple of windows. We have enough squad places taken up and we really need to clear out some players who need a fresh challenge. However it is never easy and especially when we over paid in the first place to get these guys.

The only reason I don't want to read it in every ITK post though is because it should be self evident enough to everyone here that this is the case.

Agree, seems like some are ready to jump off the cliff already though! :ROFLMAO:

Who's Vertonghen?

I'm new to this rating of posts malarkey. Not really sure why that post is funny or old. I actually don't know who Vertonghen is. It's clearly a nickname for a player that you hilarious bunch have come up with, but it's not obvious who it refers to. Apologies for my ignorance.

The problem with the Harry haters is.... Joke! I think we'll sign someone today, I can feel it in my rusty sheriff's badge.
