Another loanee centre-back? Wow. If true, kudos to DF for getting consecutive clean sheets from centre-backs he wants to replace... :shock:

(For the record, I have nothing against Curtis Davies - in fact I think I'd have had him on loan this time last year, post-Cahill)

Maybe we've signed that Palace midfielder we were after?

Yep .... such an 'in-joke' that no fckr knows what it means.

Achhh leave him be. At least he has an interest in the local north west sides. More than you can say for most national journalists.

Christ not one of em would cover our dealings today other than Nixon.

I know what it means. It means we're about to sign Neil Armstrong, obviously.

Ok, here goes...
An eagle is golden. If something is golden it means it's special.
Special K is a breakfast cereal. As are Frosties. Frosties are Grreeaat.
Great rhymes with mate which is another name for a friend.
Ricky Hatton has many friends including Joey Barton.
We're signing Joey Barton.
Businesswoman of the year.

So if Alonso will earn £500k for the rest of the season and someone offers us £200k, it would cost us money (£300k) to sell. Is that right? Or is the fee on top of the wages for the rest of the season?
Fee's usually include the remainder of the contract, plus a bit extra to compensate us. So yes, if we have 500k left of wages on his terms (which we won't, but let's use these figures anyway) and we're offored £200k, it'd cost us £300k unless the player waived his contractual rights in order to secure the move (transfer request).
Got it, thank you.
The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

Yeah, but Bin Lid is rhyming slang for kid (alright it's not, but bear with me)
Rhyming slang is predominately used in the East End of that London
West Ham United are in the East End of that London
So we're signing a kid from West Ham
We're signing VazTe. It's his time.
