Our nemesis Wigan has just got a nice $5m cash injection. Perfect complement to the two Everton loanees they stole of us.

Brighton will sign £5m Wigan centre back Dan Burn — and loan him back to the Championship side for the season

Jed Steer on the verge of signing for Charlton Athletic.
We couldn't give him the guaranteed first team football he stipulated.

This the same Jed that shipped 55 in his 38 Championship games at 1.45 per game and sat the whole of last term out?
:wink:

He's the one stipulating 'guaranteed ' first team football?

I wager Dillon Phillips will be made up!

Heard the following. Nothing today. Keeper in tomorrow or early next week on loan. Left back likely to come in by end of August but number of options being considered.

Might try to loan a striker, Garner a possible but Ipswich will demand a fee.

Just whispers, but I trust them.

Insane in the know.
Good I think they need to get left back right. Keeper on loan okay. Garner on loan would be better for me.

Have you seen all the money Boro are randomly splashing about? $5m here, $6m there.
Hope they come in for Noone or someone. Darby's brilliant.
I've always wondered why clubs spend so much when they could just bribe refs? Save squillions.

Not content with Windyass the forces of evil have conspired with Ipswich to buy Garner directly. Inspired by a quick read on here, they've realised subtlety is wasted on Bolton supporters and are subsequently rubbing our faces in it.

It seems their entire transfer strategy is targeted at ruining our survival. Novel but brutally effective.

Just got back from shopping, nothing here then? Been in Home Bargains, Iceland and Morrisons. Not a decent player to be had anywhere. Staff say they're harder to come by than fly-spray right now.

Funny I heard Birkir Bjarnason was in Iceland.
And there's not nothing happening.
Wigan want war.
Boro robbed a bank.
And I have the world's unluckiest lucky coin.

Wigan getting Garner. Frustrating but this is what you get when you shop in the bargain bin time and time again

First rule or rummaging through the bargain bin, don't tell the other tightwads what you're looking for... :whack:

Glad we missed out on Garner tbh. Money saved.
Gutted for not getting Gary Gardner - ta player strike debacle.
And Abdoulaye Sissako. Finally spelled his name right and now he won't be here to appreciate it...

Left back looms as the key decision for the rest of the month. It's a starter position and we need someone who defends first and foremost yet still has some pace and attacking nous. Most of the Prem starlets are all flash and go forwards but dumb as stumps.
DaSilva is short-arse, the Demetri Mitchell kid is basically a speedy winger, I think I'd prefer someone older like Elder

Expecting some fine Kensplaining coming up?

Who was at fault? The keeper? The players? The caterers? My money is on the phone company that cut him off...
