Simon Mignolet - signing confirmed

[jexykrodic]

Four signings done and dusted in June, not bad for a bunch of amateurs who don't know what they're doing.

Yeah but anyone can sign shite quick sharp, dontcha know.

Aspas yes. The other three feel like we've been taken to the cleaners, there is nothing impressive about being ripped off faster than anyone else.

I doubt the prices will look too bad once the window is shut.

Toure yes. The other three are at least for now good players, but of course they are yet to suffer the curse of signing for us. Hmmmm maybe an anti-curse will turn Toure into a beast.

We should of already sold Reina if we want him to be are first choice we've paid there asking price for some lad who's not even all that.

It's a year late, a horrible, horrible, wasted year late, but credit where it's due, it's a good sign.

It's difficult to follow this thread.

Two things:
1) If/when we sell Reina- Brad Jones is back as nr 2.
2) What is the purpose of the opening of the transfer window July 1?

I suspect poor old Jones will have to go to Australia knowing he's a dead duck, then help hype the club up and come back to empty his locker.

Do you have to read stuff as well?

 

[Modo]

For once we might just end up making money after this window closes.

I bloody well hope not!

 

[mr_moo]

Not sure about this kid, hopefully turns out to be very good. Shame to see pepe go, if he goes this window, otherwise they'll be problems if he doesn't

 

[Oncy]

Fucking smile misery arse. Youve just made 10m quid!!

 

[LeTallecWiz]

mr_moo is a negative shocker!

Hmmm 😎

Good to get a Belgian in!

Net spend of about 8 mill aswell.
We've been impressive so far and look professional for a change.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Good keeper and knows the league.

Just hope he doesn't get overawed with the price tag.

Someone has too ;-) Seriously just not sure about him, especially at the 9m fee. Time will tell I guess.

Glad I finished my tea. Thats a tea spitter outter right there.

I also like the song Sunderland had for him.

Don't want to be robbing songs though.

Proficiat @SMignolet met uw transfer!!

 

[localny]

Wow if those stats are true, we've been happy with our "comfortable keeper" for too long

 

[localny]

Bastard gene got me again. Hilarious translation.

 

[localny]

Chin up Pepe. Maybe Man Utd will come in for you like you wanted two years ago.

Gene, do you hold grudges as long against your wife and mistresses?

 

[Molbystwin]

I suppose we better sell Reina now or our summer spending is done. I might add stats were used to justify the signing of Penant and Downing. Hopefully shot percentage saved counts for something.
