I don't mean to suggest an unfounded rumour here and apologies if this has already been raised but this seems - to me, at least - and quite possibly also to others, let's be fair (though, whilst being fair, let's acknowledge that cannot then be 'at least', given we've already agreed - and we have (above) - that the Least-seemed-to spot has already been secured (by me), so maybe at second-least? Why not - let's not detain ourselves further...) but most of our signings tend to be players not discussed beforehand in Transfer Talk at wearying length, whereas statistics show only two-seventieths of discussed potential transfers subsequently develop successfully; so why aren’t we considering players we’re not looking at and looking at players we’re not considering? Or aren’t we? There must be literally some players we wouldn’t even think we might not consider not looking at, who might or might not come to us. But will we sign them? No-one seems not to not know or not. Has anyone not heard anything?

As a woman, I can step aside, or step up my game...

Agreed. Top post Eustace.

I've moved the thread here as the remit of this forum is "idle chat" and this seemed to fit the bill perfectly
