That’s not really an update is it? The equivalent of announcing that you will have something to announce at some point

The guy at Esso said there was "Big news" about Sarr on the interweb ? Something like he may or may not sign for us in the next few weeks ?
I'm hearing the deal is 99% done, but there's a 50/50 chance whether the final 1% will happen or not.
It's halfway through the transfer window! Expect we'll end up with Nyom back & some cockney lad who played 5 mins for Fleetwood.
Interestingly I heard that it was only 87% done but a 55/45 chance that the final 13% may or may not complete. Well, someone is lying !!
Local man. From Ealing. Wiki adds cryptically: Soon after leaving school at 17, McVie trained for 9 months to be a tax inspector. This coincided with the start of his musical career.[3]
Rennes need to sign someone to replace Sarr. Whomever they sign, will need to be replaced, etc. Nobody will move until they have all their ducks in a row. We will never break the chain.
When I’m working, I tend to stay away from the forum once at home, because then I’ll have at least 12 hours of forum action to catch up on once I get into work the next morning. After getting settled in and handling any pressing matters, I’ll pull up the forum, and always click new posts with a sense of giddy anticipation for the signings and rumors that may have happened during in my absence. It’s been a long time since that anticipation was rewarded with actual transfer action, or even interesting rumor. Dark days on the forum.
I reckon this time next year we are going to be the same regarding new signings as we are now and were in fact saying the same last year and the year before that! nothing changes! usual anticipation, speculation and whatever other lation you want to add!
What time do you start tomorrow? I can probably rustle something believable up for you. A Zeegelaar to Vitesse on loan or academy child off to Weldstone as punishment for not cleaning enough boots type thing. Beyond that and it'll tip into fairy tales.
I’m off tomorrow, so if you could make sure these rumors begin appearing around lunchtime in the UK, there should be enough time to generate a few posts by the time I wake up. Much appreciated.
OK, then play on, you can go your own way. Yes I know what you mean. Very different entities. But would you rather jack than Fleetwood Mac ?
@AdamLeventhal #WatfordFC transfer update Fascinated to see if someone comes in for Doucoure & how much he’d cost (£60/70m?). But key sub plot is it could arguably prove smart with opps for Chalobah first & foremost but also Quina, Cleverley, Wilmot & others + money in for other targets.
Replying to others questions: So far... Kim Min-Jae still a target for ‘buy now, join Jan’ - but nothing agreed and deal hasn’t progressed in last week. No truth in the Bastos from Lazio rumour as far as he knows. Has replied to a deleted tweet so can’t see what was asked but his reply was ‘Behind Sarr on list of targets’ - which may suggest he is the focus? Suggests plan is for Cucho to sign a new deal and then be loaned again. So maybe a new deal hasn’t been done yet.
But reoccurring jokes are what makes this forum such a joy. I really look forward to reading them everyday.
