I've read in a couple of different places that we are going to sign Charlie Austin, that would be a fantastic signing in my opinion.

Us & most of the rest of the PL

Be a decent signing (banged in 18 goals for QPR last year) & give us 2.5 strikers. Probably still need another one as Elliott Lee doesn't seem to be progressing much.

The bookies have stopped taking bets on him joining us apparently... Apologies for the Mirror link, it's what my dad emailed to me.

Nice, be good it it comes off & pisses the barcodes off - maybe they could take AC back.

I just found out that the transfer window doesn't open until July 1st.

Isn't that always the case? Presumably the signing that we've made was a free.

Call me dumb but I didn't realise there was a "transfer window" in the summer

Yes... winter ones only in late Dec & closes in Jan & summer one closes beginning of Sept. Presumably it's timed to coincide w/ major Euro leagues coming back to training etc.

Ah yes, of course! I knew that I just hadn't thought about when the window actually opened

UEFA Euro League drawn - away to FC Lusitans (Andorra) 02 July (which I now can't watch at home on TV as BT Sport have apparently nicked all football) and the home leg 09 July (which I'll miss as I've a karting evening already booked in)

[BrabusMog]

You're joking?! Europa League has been C5 or ITV4 for ages?! I'm only home for 2 weeks of the month now, so there is no way I'll be paying for BT on top of Sky, I'll just have to hope I can get to games if we do qualify. I'll be going to the away match of our qualifier for sure though

Nope - thread elsewhere about the same.

All Europa / CL games now on BT - apparently they will show some coverage but presumably that'll be via some source that's not regular tv. Annoying as, aside from the BBC showing the odd FA Cup game, it's taken club football off the telly.

[bad company]

Is this our 'big signing'?

[TCEvo]

He's been rumoured for a while - don't know much about him but adding younger more mobile midfielders can't be a bad thing.

[sjc]

Oh well, tickets duly bought for our brave new Euro adventure starting next Thursday, and just had the mail about our reservation centre appointment for the OS.
At least there's a bit of excitement about the place again.

[TCEvo]

Payet confirmed - sounds decent but a long contract & at decent money from what I've read.

I know it's typical us with rumours, but if it's true and we do get a revitalised/refreshed Song, keep Downing and bag Moses, to add to the business we've done I'll be more excited than being told Kelly Brook has re-found her virginity and is waiting for me upstairs with her playmate Megan Fox.
The reality is likely to be Bella Emberg and Janet Street Porter.

[BrabusMog]

Thanks for sharing

I really want the Austin deal to get confirmed.

Interesting little read.

Powerful image

Assuming Jenkinson re-signs for another season as rumourred that will be another decent one. Hadn't heard about Moses - any legs to that?

Seems to have gone a bit quiet that one.

Two I believe.

Thought he was a basket case though.
