Speculation The hysterically annoying, and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2024 rumours thread.

This Italian chappy obviously has no sensi of direction or he'd be here by now.

Holy flaps. Have you turned into Ted?

Don't do it, for the love of baby Jebus, don't do it.

Sorry, am I missing something?
I thought he was here a few days ago and is currently holed up in Homers basement?

 

[Robin127]

holed

Being the operative word here.

He'll definitely fail a medical now then

Nah he'll be fine, they don't do rape tests

Deal in doubt due to legal issues

Deal in doubt due to legal issues

WOTT or WOTS?

Deal in doubt due to legal issues

Don’t tell me. Something that would have been a formality pre Brexit? The gift that keeps on giving?

 

[pork pie fox]

I may be being naive, as this isn’t the first time things have been done by us at the last minute, but is it really necessary to take things to the wire quite so much? What would we have saved by leaving it this late? 50 marbles?

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

WOTT (Word on the twitter)

Says its a visa issue. Why leave the visa to the last ****ing second, if so?

We're probably waiting on Souttar to go.

It’s a ****ing insane way to do business. It’s the difference between signing an Italian international or having someone like Raikhy in the first team squad for the rest of the season.

 

[Lako42]

Honestly we are so Tinpot

And pissing off the manager. He appears to be the only target we’ve had and yet here we are on the last day, well into the evening, again?

Why? Was it tinpot to sign Cannon at the very end of the last transfer window?

Why don't we all just wait till the end of the day to see what business we have or haven't done.

And for all we know, he may have already signed a contract.

What makes you think they left it to the last second?
There are a lot of things that can delay a visa.

 

[TommyK]

And for all we know, this might have been fantastic blinkmanship by us to get a great deal.

Or a shit show if it doesn't go through of course.

 

[Rock Fox]

Injury prone Sensi apparently broke two of his fingers when he was trying to sign the visa application - with the result there is a legal challenge by a handwriting expert as to whether it is a genuine signature

 

[Graz]

Honestly, do people forget that Rudkin is still the one in charge of this shit show?

He's incapable of moving players on, and therefore incapable of getting deals in
