Who ever said anything about getting things wrapped up in three days? I never. So where did this come from?

Been plenty of players brought before a window opens, to then be announced on the first day of the window.

We can negotiate with other clubs between windows all we want, but we just can't register new players until the window, if I remember correctly.

How many time has that happened in a Jan window?
 
It's a rare occurrence in a Summer window.

For that to happen normally the stars have to align between the 3/4 parties, it's not as easy as he makes out otherwise you'd see a plethora of deals being done before the window opens.

So again TheGreenLily TheGreenLily your protestations over this is weird to me, getting a deal over the line before the window opens is extremely rare in Summer and practically unheard of in a January window.

Just a load of noise and faux outrage if you ask me. 🤷‍♀️
 
As sales slowed and other retailers abandoned the scheme, Green Shield Stamp catalogue shops began to offer part stamp-redemption and part cash for the goods in their catalogue. The proportion of cash accepted was slowly increased until the goods could be purchased, outright, without the need for any stamps. With this groundwork laid, the catalogue stores, warehouses and vehicle fleet were re-branded Argos in July 1973 - I didn't know this though 🤔
Thanks, I genuinely did not know that, either.

I love Argos.
 
At some point injuries will stop happening as much as players bodies adapt to the work rate required for Angeball. If he’s up for it, then Dragusin will be in the mix for a starting spot. I guess we’ll find out. Still have to get him first.
Well yeah, possibly. Or, maybe the injuries are just the new norm in football. It's not just us that's suffered, is it? Newcastle and United don't play Angeball but have had their problems too.
And it doesn't account for Romero being a bit of a drip and getting himself sent off too often.

There’s a bit of talk that the league-wide injury issues this season are a knock on effect of the winter World Cup taking its toll on players. Ange’s teams usually get a heap of injuries in the first year, so that’s not so much a mystery

I'm not sure about that tbh. Players still had a summer break.
I'm more convinced it's the stoppages from pathetically long VAR checks more than anything. Especially as it seems to be a lot of hamstring issues.

Brighton, Chelsea, Newcastle and us seemed to have suffered the most, all teams that play at high intensity and all have (relitavely) new coaches.

Utd have suffered a lot too but I don't think those players look after themselves over there regardless.
 
So what's up with the Dragusin fella?

The reports seem to be somewhere between he's signed a 5-year deal to don't wanna leave in January!!!

The ITK's have never been this in agreement on a player before!

:ange-facepalm::mourshock:
 
That sounds like an agent trying to push for that extra couple of million to me
I don;t think you even need to read that far into it, I'm certain he and his agent aren't playing hard to get and pretending he doesn't want the move in order to squeeze some extra pennies out of us, it's probably more a case of being a pro and towing the party line until a deal is agreed and just saying "he's a Genoa player and will continue to be a Genoa player... (until he's not)".

Which has lost something in translation and turned into he's never leaving Genoa.
