An impressive highlights reel as they always are, if somewhat dated (assume during lockdown).

He's everything Sargent isn't. Seems to attack from wide positions like Rowe, Fassnacht and Sainz. I'm losing the plot a bit now tbh.

Only now? You sure about that?

Honestly, just wait and see. We'll soon find out.

I'm not stressed. I have full faith that not selling Andy O until 10pm on deadline day was always part of the masterplan. 

[Google Bot 3,322]

AO going should be no surprise, we made a promo video for him, and barely played him.  I'd be very surprised if we don't get a replacement in.

Connor's last  sentence a bit worrying...NCFC now racing to find a replacement...i dont like that "to find" part...feels like its far from  near to get someone in...deary me...all this  past few days  worry about finding a  striker to cover Josh's injury and now  its back to our  old and usual achilles heel...CB shortages. Wonderful.

The deal surely has to be conditional on us finding one. Surely? If not it’s negligent.

Only Norwich could gain 20 million with no time to spend any of it.....surprise,surprise!!!

I mean, we can only accept a bid when it's actually submitted.. what do you expect - we don't have mystic meg on the backroom staff

I would put too much store in his choice of phrase. Racing to complete would have probably been more accurate. They hardly will have only just started looking.

At this late stage, we're probably going to have to go in for someone either from Rotherham or one of the Sheffield clubs to replace Andy O, right? 

ermmmmm what?

Yes, it is not like they had ANY inkling that OMO might be off, apart from all the signs that he was.

I feel for you and the other whingers. It cannot be easier finding something to whinge about after we have won 5 of the first six games.

[TIL 1010 4,797]

I am beginning to think today we have been more intent on income than expenditure.

[Terminally Yellow 2,480]

Definitely not Cashin. 

 

[Ken Hairy 3,781]

Everyone wetting themselves now are going to be in a right state when 11pm comes and goes. Wouldn't be surprised if any signings aren't officially announced until the morning now.

They're only happy when they're moaning, 

I have a neighbor that's exactly the same. Always miserable but absolutely loves it.

Not how it works. This has been lined up for ages.

I hate to say it but I agree. That’s not pant wetting just how it looks. I do expect a young prem defender aloang with heath if I’m honest though

[norfolkngood 1,088]

Webber will have a CB and Striker lined up maybe even signed by now just not announced 

[Terminally Yellow 2,480]

**** me the whingers are out in force tonight.

Oh sorry Mr expert on the forum tonight.

So I was expecting a striker like Sarge so we could continue playing like you know we had done with Sarge.

 

[repman 635]

My picks would be either Malang Sarr or Chris Richards, both left sided CB's too which would be a better balance than what we had with Omo still here.

Why wouldn't they?

I will discuss with you at Rotherham tomorrow if you like.

[Tetteys Jig 830]

So big Andy ain’t going unless this mystery replacement deal is done… any ideas? Ronnie Edwards?

The only thing I feel like moaning about is the shortage of bright yellow attire in the Sky Sports studio.

Shall we all have a go for a laugh?  It may break a few minds and they take the opposing view.

[rock bus 854]

If we get anywhere near £20m for Omo I think that’sa great deal even if we’re don’t have a replacement!
