on peak at 1pm, Rico said we are still talking to the man in question and if we pull it off -it will be the most exciting signing in Chesterfields entire history.
Now those are strong words my friends! don't you think?
and the fact that they are still talkin we must be close to something a wee bit special??

[First of the gang]

its doing my head in this! all this speculation
supposed to be revising for my A Levels but i cant- wondering who this mystery player is. When do you reckon the deal will be finalised- if it ever is?

Wish he wouldn't say such things. It's putting everyone on tenterhooks and serves only to fuel the wildly misplaced hopes of those with their heads in the clouds.

I'm sure he would only be saying things like this if they were very confident of signing this player. They know how disappointed all the pessimists will be if they don't bring in someone big now, and will no doubt start harping on about lack of ambition within the club.

So he's a current international so I presume he doesn't play for a major nation (football wise) or is an older player.

Kanu?

No way it's Kanu, he's on more at WBA (£40k a week)_ than he was at Arsenal (25k)

heh, guess you're right.

Wonder who it could be though (and more fool WBA for paying that for him)

[monte]

I know people at WBA and they said when he signed he was getting 40k a week

[First of the gang]

why does the club insist on the policy of announcing new players before theyve actually signed?

[monte]

My mate used to play for them in the youth and they all knew about it, plus if you read papers they had it in too

[monte]

"why does the club insist on the policy of announcing new players before theyve actually signed?"

Because if they didnt we wouldnt have anything to talk about!! lol

I've just been chatting to a psychic. She is not local, has no connections with the club and no knowledge of football. She has just called me and come up with the name Jason. Bizarre I know, but she is pretty good.
