No food, warm beer and coke.
Sounds like the perfect house party to me

"Oh dear, again the same question which I’m guessing is coming from a sense of misplaced self righteousness.

I cannot confess to reading the sun or any other newspaper actually apart from the occasional metro however I do search pretty hard on a daily basis for any news, quite probably like a lot of other fans.

Given our track record of not signing anyone till very late in the window, which is a ridiculous game of brinkmanship considering the risk of losing out on targets, the pathetic start we make to each season and the fact that a transfer window is not sporadically announced as a surprise to anyone, coupled with the non-existence of any noteworthy news, I can say with a degree of certainty we are not ‘close’ to signing anybody. I could be wrong of course I could, however the odds are slim.

I said I know for a ‘fact’ in an exhausted attempt to sarcastically answer another pussy post from somebody who feels as though they can reply to a genuine opening for discussion by attempting shoot it down. It does not make you look clever or righteous, it very much makes you look thick as mince and like some bitter, sad old c u next Tuesday.

If you don’t want to discuss, or don’t have something of substance to say like “You never know, we could.... etc.” Then don’t post. Somebody did actually come back to me on this original post and I was grateful for their input and insight. I’d happily engage anyone with anything interesting to say in meaningful conversation."

To you, Mapletree and Cryst - Please get your bins or refer here to the dictionary definition of sarcasm:

The use of irony to mock or convey contempt

Whoooosh!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I have been at the acceptance part for about 3 windows! now im at the " what will be will be phase and we wont buy anyone phase "

oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton.

Rudi - always one for a pedantic response.

Operations in an accounting view is the standard income and outgoings. Transfers would be deemed an one off expenses so is not operational.

By saying operationally we are fine means we can cover all standard outgoings with incomings i.e wages are covered by current revenue streams i.e we are not needing to sell players just to keep operating.

This is clearly better than our championship days when we lost money operationally almost every season

You seem to be frustrated with people picking you up on the claim to know for a fact. It's not people being righteous it is just pointless to make things up.
I tend to think Freeman has a list of targets and is in initial negotiations with clubs, but nothing is ever straightforward as we know unless you throw loads of cash in. Some will come off and some won't, but we won't know the facts until they are announced.

Seeing today that with Maguire off to Utd for 80m, Leicester are taking Lewis Dunk for 40m. That's all we need those pieces of driftwood on the coast having money to spend. They wont sod about and wait to the 11th hour of the transfer window.
