Anyone else not very surprised, at all, that it looks like the deal for Martins isn’t happening?

Our club is run by a right set of chancers and clowns isn’t it?

A signing. Well sort of.

It's a loan, it's a Lukaku, but not the famous one, left back (good). until the end of the season. Not sure if obligation/right to buy involved.

With J up front was expected as he must be the worse striker in the division.

Suggestion, from Rafa, is that the club knew that Lukaku would fail his medical!

What. The. Actual. fk?

At what point does fit and proper actually mean anything? What a fking joke.

They knew he would fail medical but paid actual money to fly him over for it?

Surely that isnt the business model of the tracksuit tycoon

Only repeating what I've read.

Maybe, he can loose that in his marketing/PR budget costs? It would certainly be up there with some of the smoke and mirrors he's been using from those clowns.

Whatever the backstory is to this, it's still indicative of the comical, derisory way the club is run.

In fairness which manager can say with 100% certainty he will be at a club at the end of the season? Hardly, a resignation threat when read in that context or the fact his contract does run out in the summer.

Anyway, how many are we getting humped by tonight?

I'm not there, but do hope that there's plenty of advertising revenue generated for DW sports.......

Agreed, but he's always been very tightlipped on these matters. It's a fairly moot point, I guess, as we all assume he'll be off anyway and won't be surprised if he does go.

Tonight? 3-1 to City.
