Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

No IIRC with Braaten he had some quality 'seal' dribbling on you tube

Reading the article, it seems this 'move' is being spurred on by the fact that his club wants him to change his nationality because he takes up a non-EU slot. WTF? If it were me I'd tell them to f*ck off as well. :crazy:

That and he's a winger which seems to be the paper putting 2+2 together and getting 12

You may think it's crazy, but it's in the players interest to be classed an EU national

this....
According to reports Middlesbrough FC will be unsuccessful in their pursuit of defender Andy O’Brien.
There was speculation last week that the defender would be on his way to the Riverside.
Boro boss Gordon Strachan is looking to reinforce his defensive cover and saw O’Brien as an ideal acquisition.
However, the Sunday Sun claims Wanderers boss Owen Coyle will not sanction the move as he needs cover himself.
However, O’Brien may be interested in a Riverside move in January, when he can begin to negotiate with other clubs.
The experienced former Republic of Ireland international is out of contract at the end of the year and expects to leave the Reebok Stadium.
and this...
According to reports Blackburn Rovers are in a battle with Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United for Wolves midfielder David Jones.
The Mirror claims the 25-year-old Jones, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has seen initial negotiations over agree a new deal break down.
Jones remains keen to sign a new contract, but if he becomes a free agent at the end of the season Rovers are ready to pounce.
Jones cost Wolves £1 million from Derby County in the summer of 2008.
(I quite like the ubiquitous "according to reports"!)
