When can we start oiling up our F5 refresh fingers?

Don't worry, not much longer to wait until the realisation that this isn't happening sets in ?

I think we're done this window to be honest.

The post that either sinks you to the gutter or catapults you to the stratosphere of SC legends.

I like it

SC accountants out in force claiming £5-£10m as “not a lot of money”

What a time to be alive.

Like someone saying, actually even though we said our house is £600k, it’s now going to cost you £700k. Which, you know, you just gotta pay up.

I'm not sure the analogy quite works. My pension fund and savings haven't been recording record profits and I got a 1% pay rise this year. I also don't earn any bonuses. If I was earning more, getting regular boosts of income and someone wanted to sponsor a significant percentage of my outgoings, I might well consider paying the increased price on that property if it ticked all the boxes.

I wouldn’t pay £700k for a £600k house.

Ricky Sacks is so tiring.

-Posts something positive
-You know he's probably massively spun the info but you want it to be true
-You look for it but it's not easy to find because he's plucked it from the dark web or something
-You either give up looking or do indeed find out it's a massive exaggeration

Edit: Andrew Gaffney going in on him now



Guess Dean isn't the only one in the family that is Well 'ard.

Ricky Sacks in being the worst shocker

Even if it was everything you want, in the right area, great schools (if that's a concern), detached, large garden, properties in that neighbourhood are scarce and there's a good chance that once you'd done a bit of work on it, it'll go up in value?

Nothing going on is there.

I reckon enjoy the game on Sunday and best come back to this thread next week.

Yes, if there were other buyers. I paid a bit over asking price for mine as it ticked those boxes - problem is there were 7 other bids so had to. In this case, there is no one else (at this time) chasing him.

Let me flip it round - would you pay £700k on a house when an identical neighbours went for 600k last week? Knowing the seller cant afford the upkeep of it and needs to sell soon? And no one else has even had a showaround?

But what if you'd promised to buy that house for your beautiful Argentinian wife who was getting increasingly pissed off with your tight fistedness.

What if you'd promised to buy her a house the previous year too but instead gave her a pat on the arse and said "Next year I'll be brave, darling" - all this after she'd massively overperformed in the bedroom despite having a broken leg and a sprained wrist.

With our window closing before the others it has made life harder for Levy. He can't keep running deals down towards deadline day. If Betis don't sell to us by next Friday then they can still sell him elsewhere.

No but I would in the scenario that I've just mentioned. Are we completely sure that GLC has no other clubs interested though?

No need to panic Mr Mannering. Only another 41 pages and we have reached 400 and surely he would have signed by then

Get Ronwol in here, we will have it wrapped up by tea

Using your house buying analogy, if your house was on the market for £600k and I offered you £350k + an extra £50k if I manage to bang Cameron Diaz in the attic room would you be inclined to sell it to me?

Breaking the other leg would be cheaper

I'm not sure what that means for Poch

If we're going by the logic of the metaphor, that would mean Levy has been playing 4D chess and injuring our players himself in order to limit Poch's capacity to succeed and thus get poached by another club.

The plot thickens.

Betis want a price we're not prepared to pay, hence the stand-off.

Either we increase or they decrease or it's not going to get done, it's that simple. They have to sell, we have a deadline to buy. As was said many weeks ago, poker it is which gets increasingly fraught the closer the deadline comes.

Nothing more to be said really until one of these happens. Got deadline day smell all over it.

Or we don’t get him, have no second choice in place and end the window with just ndombele coming in.

That is if you actually believe the “goal posts were moved” as that is the club line to displace blame from Levy on numerous failed transfers.

Furthermore, if you really want to compare to buying a house, all of the other comps in the neighborhood (completed transfers) have set the value of this house at above 700,000. In fact, the hated rival and local businessman just bought a neighboring house with lesser quality for 720,000. This is the one house your wife wants and has asked for so if you don’t complete the sale expect some ramifications in the bedroom. So you better just pay the 700,000 as in the grand scheme you can easily afford the payments and your marriage just might fall apart if you don’t get it.
