In the same panicky "thcweam and thcweam and thcweam until I'm thick" way.
It beggars belief that this happens every window.
Then again, looking at the lengths people will go to, in social media, to get attention, it really shouldn't come as a surprise.
Great news that VDV is back for United (don't think we should risk him vs Burnley - one last swansong for Emerson/Davies).
As long as we get Dragu in with a week of training under his belt he should start against United. He has to be an upgrade on Dier/Emerson even without a clue as to how the system works.
That means he needs to be in by Sunday. One of the twitters said the plan is to have him at the game Friday so expecting it to be done tomorrow.

Top one looks like a guy who cuts Poodle hair for a living.
Bottom one looks like he trains Rottweilers to kill...
By showing them how it's done!
Spurs Women are signing a pretty play....I am a pretty good player....
And she will be the 2nd Matilda in 2 days (the Australian woman team is called "the Matildas") Spurs Women are signing
Angelos is certainly having say in both deal me thinks

The free agents every club want to sign in 2024
From Kylian Mbappe to Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, there are some big names available for Premier League clubs to sign for free this month, but there are also a lot who could be on their way out.

2024 has arrived, and with it comes a fresh dose of chaos in the form of the January transfer window.
It’s usually a period where there are few big deals done, with clubs more focused on loan deals or outgoings of unused players during this period.
However, with clubs looking to become ever more thrifty under the watchful eyes of Financial Fair Play enforcers, the free agency market is one that most will be perusing through.
Premier League, LALIGA, WSL and more. The world's best football is on Optus Sport. Sign up here.
There are a huge number of players who will be out of contract at their current club come June 30 but January 1 is an important date, as it is the date where clubs can begin negotiating with these soon-to-be out-of-contract stars.
However, under English FA laws, players can’t negotiate with or sign a pre-contract agreement with a team within the same league – so a player currently at a Premier League club cannot sign a pre-contract agreement with another Premier League club. They can only open talks a month before their contract expires.
The rule is there in a bid to avoid conflicts of interest in the event a player may face their future club before leaving their current one.
Premier League clubs are, however, able to sign pre-contract agreements with players from teams in other leagues.
Here’s who’s currently available as a free agent in come June 30…

Could Serge do Angeball ?
Is that high compared to our peers though?
Just finished watching Ederson and Scalvini.
Ederson grew on me a bit. Think he could be a good piece but still not convinced he's got the pace for the prem. Could just be that he has a strange running gait that looks like he's doing the thriller dance.
Scalvini could def play RCB, inverted FB or DM for us but just doesn't seem like a kid that will ever leave Italy. If he did, it would be to Real, Barca or Atleti.
De Ketelaere scored 2 and got an assist. Really wonder if we don't look at him in the summer. Has everything that you'd need for an Ange-ball #9.
He's a 9 now?
One player that hasn't been mentioned who I think we should be looking at is Lyle Foster at Burnley. I think he has something about him to be a Toney/Watkins level striker at this level.
Didn’t he flop at Ac Milan? I really wanted him that summer he went as an understudy to Kane.
Juventus?
Surely this is going to happen if Paratici and Ange want it to?
And the Kane deal was front loaded? I don’t recall that being made public knowledge?
Who’s panicking? Ain’t me!
Thinking about it, I would say that ENIC were very slow in appointing their own DoF. They persisted with Pleat, who was a Sugar appointment, for 3 years. It wasn't until 2005 that we started to see a different type of player come to the club and that's where I feel ENIC really started to put their own stamp on things.
Maybe that's down to the way the game was at the time. DoF wasn't as high profile a job as it is now and I think any new owner in this day and age would want to make changes in that area straight away. In 2001, the media perception was that the manager bought and sold the players and I think that was reflected in the way managers spoke about new signings in the media. These days, it's a given that there are many different people involved in the signing of a player and the level of influence a manager has in the signing of players is a matter of some debate.
Really good shout. He’s lively. Liked his performance against us earlier in the season.
Interested to see how his career progresses.
Played like one today.
Although that Atalanta system is hard to pick at times. Ederson was playing R8, then switched to L8, was playing 6 other times as well.
Scalvinini could have been RCB or Inverted RB at times as well.
He did but might be on loan to Atalanta, I'm not sure. Not across how it went to say he flopped fully or just didn't get chances with them.
Happens to players making big jumps though. There is still a top player there
Dragon needs to get to the barbers ASAP as Only 1 player could ever look good with a Man Bunn ........
Dragusin, some midfielder, soule and iling-junior.
Like I’ve said before: Redondo in now and buy Vermeeren or Alex scott and loan the second back. Iling-junior in now and keep soule at frosinone on loan.
Send Hojbjerg to juve plus 15m or so to get both juve boys. 25m for dragusin. 10m for Redondo. Then either vermeeren for 25m or 40m for Alex scott.
Could be done, but who knows.

Seem to recall he didn’t score in 30 odd games, recall watching him at the end of that run and he looked a demoralised player. Some turn around if he’s back at it.
(checked, he scored 0 in 32 for AC Milan)
Devil's Advocate: Unpicking the many layers of De Ketelaere's enigmatic start at AC Milan
Charles De Ketelaere continues to remain the main unsolvable enigma of AC Milan's 2022-23 season so far, and the player dominating the newspaper columns regardless of what else is happening around the club.

In 16 apps for Atalanta (Wiki latest) Hes scored 2. Against Sassoulla (sp) and
