Yep, I was offered a call-up myself recently.. And not because my parents or grandparents are Welsh

Stick one on the dugout to highlight that Manning is still 'learning his trade'

jesus christ this is dire

When you put it like that I would suggest probably not

Modern day club legend, good business from the club but gutted to see him depart.

The "big clubs" are now the "big clubs" as determined by their history We didn't make the cut years ago and now we never will!

Not entirely the same but I was at Twerton Park last season at the game where Alex Fletcher (Who has made one of the most remarkable sporting comebacks i've ever seen) absolutely smashed into the concrete surrounding wall head first.. And i'll never forget the sound it made you could hear it clear as day in the opposite corner of the ground. With the reaction from the opponent and medical staff it was clear something was seriously wrong but to be honest from the thump before hand you already knew.

I know you're right - it's the same old at the moment. When it boils down to it, it's just jealousy!

All of that to join ****ing Bournemouth

Life is short i'd rather experience the extreme high and lows rather than steady mediocrity!

This is ace I really hope you're strong enough internally to settle for absolute footballing mediocrity. I absolutely love this club, I hope you do too. Welcome aboard, mate.

The big clubs are just the "big clubs" now.. I can't see what will change that You've got players leaving clubs like Brighton - a club in the absolute form of their life looking to break into the top 4/6 still leaving to play for the likes of Chelsea or Liverpool rather than staying where they are trying to build something When Leicester won the league players still left for these "big clubs".. It is what it is now we're too late to become a big club

Are we all feeling more or less optimistic after this window? im not disputing some of the buys are sound but in the grand scheme of things we look thinner and weaker as a squad

One of the very few highlights of a poor window so far, looks a very good player!

Turns out he did make it at Centre Back christ!
