Didn't think you could recall a player between windows

Emergency dispensation. Always been able to do it with keepers

 

[Kenny]

As its fucking over Stoke, I will allow it

 

[The Bear]

Don't rely on loan keepers when you can afford to buy one (we know they could, as they agreed a fee with us for Sarkic then pulled out). The one position you seriously should not be dicking about with, having a bad keeper is so obviously noticeable - the Ikeme/Lonergan days for us were painful.

I thought it fell through because Stoke couldn't agree personal terms with Sarkic?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Personally I wouldn't allow it. If Bournemouth don't have enough keepers when one gets injured then don't loan one out.

Nope.

All sorted then Travers became available on loan and they went with him instead.

I don't buy it though, Millwall wouldn't be offering more than Stoke.

Maybe he realised he couldn't ask for too much once the Stoke deal fell through and he had to settle for any reasonable offer that came his way.

Might not have been money, might just have been contract length. Security for a few years over a few extra k per week

All set until he realised Johnny lived near by?

Isn't Stoke your nearest Football League club these days

Not PV, PVF, PVFC?

My point on Johnny living near by still stands despite this (weak) fact...

Mike Ashley looking at getting involved at Reading

 

[Keef]

Have to say for an illiterate he’s not done too bad has he?
Oops you meant Reading, my mistake.

Was about to post that, absolutely disgraceful
