Spotty's Seriously Sub-standard Second Rate Transfer Thread.

[Bruce Rioja]

I've started using the term 'Dobbie' as a put-down when I'm playing 5-a-side, either in a self-deprecating way when I've cocked up or when someone else cocks up.

How shit is a player that gets kept out of a side by Gary fecking Madine?

Utterly fecking terrible.

meanwhile... Pisano...

this is a gentle cull of Lennon's duds...

Bolton Wanderers defender Francesco Pisano is on the verge of returning to Italy, according to reports from the ATA Hotel. The fullback only joined the Championship side in the last summer transfer window

TMW have reported from the ATA Hotel in Milan that Bolton Wanderers are close to agreeing a deal with Vicenza or Livorno, and could look to get a deal done before the deadline. The hotel is where all the agents in Italy get together during the transfer window to hold talks and close deals. Both Serie B sides find themselves at the wrong end of the table, and need to strengthen their squads to avoid the drop to Lega Pro.

Pisano signed for Bolton Wanderers on a two year contract in the summer after Cagliari were relegated to Serie B. However, the 29 year old has only played three games for the club since joining, and a return to Italy is looking very likely at this stage. Also given Bolton Wanderers’ financial problems, it would enable them to get the Italian off their wage bill considering he’s not in Neil Lennon’s future plans.

like all good transfer threads - moves should be reported several times - so as to make it sound more active!

Look, it's a different era, times have moved on, we've entered the epoch of truly terrible transfer threads. Once is enough. Any more of this sort of behaviour and we might reach 100 pages. Which would be, well..., unplanned for.

I'm hearing rumours that Medo and Casado have gone... watch this space...

[Lord Kangana]

Nah, Lennie loves Dougies signings, so Medo's going nowhere. Captain next week when we sell Spearing for £10m. Don't know why we didn't think of it sooner.

Medo's gone already... Does nobody keep up?

[Lord Kangana]

No way. Uh-ah. Never.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

It's like herding cats.

[Lord Kangana]

We'll make 100 pages yet.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

After his recent run of form I'm stunned Aston Villa are not in for Trotter...

[StaffsTrotter]

Im sure I just heard on the radio that Rhodes is going to Boro - £14m (FOURTEEN MILLION) package - wtf.
Thought Rhodes star was on the wane. Assume Boro going for shit or bust FFP wise

Well, quite. After all, Leicester, QPR and lickleoldBournemouth have overpaid their way to promotion.

What happens to a team that doesn't manage it, though? Well, I do wonder. In Boro's case, presumably Steve Gibson would have to do overtime shipping toxic shit.
