If carlsberg did transfer threads.....This would be it!

Anyone have Beckford back if he came on reduced terms?

No I wouldn't but good goal.

Wow! but no thanks.

I'll just drop this in here: https://footballfragmento.wordpress.com ... mmer-2015/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Which players would you look at?

Mackail-Smith any good these days? Woolford from Millwall? Emmanuel-Thomas did alright at Bristol.

Speaking of contract releases, where's this cull that the BEN were supposed to have published today? Didn't they say the club were announcing non-renewals at lunchtime today?

ISTR they were waiting until after the last Development game, which was this lunchtime. Presumably they're not doing it immediately after; presuming further, they may be taking the unlucky lot aside for a chat this very afternoon.

Taking them for a chat! there will be that many he will just group all the players and shout it over a megaphone.

The printer is hot doing p45s

I heard the printer broke down halfway through doing the P45s - not used to the quantity.

I'd sign that Joe Massaro for no other reason than he sounds like he's come straight out of Boardwalk Empire!

I'm not thinking of people like Matt Mills, but the U21 (and U18?) players who won't be getting extensions. Much easier to tell a big ugly senior player we can't afford his wage than to tell a kid we don't see him as having a future here "but I'll recommend you to David Flitcroft at Bury."

Like Bill Ridding asking Alan Ball if he'd considered being a jockey?

Who was it that told a young Bobo's parents that he was fecking shite? Was it Jimmy Armfield?

Bobo's grandad told him a few times as well...

Lad in our class at St Joseph's had a trial for Bolton at 14. They were impressed but told him he'd have to get rid of the Teddy Boy get up, drainpipe trousers and crepe-soled shoes etc. His dad objected and told them "take him as he is or not at all". They refused. Real shame because he was very good.

I taught a lad, in the late 70s, who was an exceptional goalkeeper, had trials with a number of northwest clubs, including BWFC, they all told him the same thing,"change your attitude and we'll take you on" . He didn't and they didn't take him on. Such a shame , I often wonder if he ever regretted not trying to change and have a chance at pro football life.

In the 1970s I was described as an exceptional keeper and had many trials at clubs around the country. I was told to improve my attitude as I had a habit of arriving in my Porsche 911, some good time girl model in with me and whiffing of alcohol.

Little did they know that I had won the Spanish lottery and wasn't going to change for anyone.

I'm afraid it was. In his case I fear he was proven to be correct.

Nice man too. (b'stard)

'The De Telegraaf understands Bolton and Stoke City are keen to snap up the 23-year-old and have supposedly offered Guidetti a £1m-a-year salary plus a £2m signing-on fee.'

I think not.

[TANGODANCER]

Hope that pic's deceiving. Bit "all the pies" angle there? Signing on fees should be abolished. A wages contract is a contract, the rest just looks like bribery.

[Prufrock]

Good player, and exactly what we need, but I'd be astounded if those numbers are anywhere near close! Might be what Stoke are offering, in which case we've no chance.
