And that's exactly what has played out this morning with regard to Stefano Denswil. There's no indication that Denswil was on Andy's radar at all this morning as, looking now, there was no mention in his morning 'scene setter'. It then gets mentioned in other media, on twitter, on NSC and then a...

Don't do it if we sign a player with more than 10 letters in their name. He'll claim it's a "big name".

This has gone off in a ridiculous tangent. The NSC way, I guess. Given the history of the Albion, it would clearly be ridiculous to describe tomorrow as a defining day in the timeline of this club, but it's pretty key isn't it? The Championship is an utter bitch to escape from and we don't want...

I'm not doing that. As I say - I don't look at twitter much and I don't look at the Argus site much as it's an utter abomination IMO. And you're twisting my words in a way that disappoints me. I thought you were better than that. But, frankly, I'm not going to enter an argument about it. I...

Not at all these days, no. As I say the club is very tight on this stuff, and I think that tightness is in place internally too. If you don't need to know you won't. If you see something and slip word out, you risk losing your job. Maybe if I asked the questions, I would get the same "not...

I want to make it clear that I'm not criticising Andy nor anyone else at all, but it strikes me that the newsflow is generally something like this... 1. Something breaks on Twitter or from an overseas media organisation. 2. Albion fans pick up on it. It may or may not be posted on here. 3...

I'll add that the club send out a media release ahead of a new signing announcement. Typically now, they only arrive in my Inbox in the 10 minutes or so ahead of the embargo. Often the Argus article is a copy and paste or very lightly revised version of the club release that has been emailed...

I guess so, but player registration documents have to be delivered to the FA(s) concerned in line with the deadlines don't they? Wouldn't that mean a player was technically transferred, even if the clubs concerned would then reverse it at the next transfer window should the medical (or other...

The club will let them know what they are happy with them knowing. Some will come with a "happy for this to be leaked out", and some with "not for publication". I think the club are far more guarded about this stuff than ever before, due in part to Joe Gomez's Lancing visit breaking on NSC. By...

Hemed going anywhere is a funny one, isn't it? Even putting keeping him aside in order to be "better safe than sorry", he's now away on international duty. Now whilst communications can clearly take place between a suitor, Hemed's agent and Hemed himself, he's not going to be able to undertake...

It's a bit of a different ballgame though isn't it? Those two clubs are largely dealing with very well known player for megabucks. We're very much at the value end of the market. I imagine I'm not alone to have not heard of many of the players we've bought nor the ones we currently seem to be...

You may want to turn down your expectations a notch or two so you're not disappointed.

Who are your 5?

Did I mention tomorrow NSC is down for maintenance?

The spread would probably be 5.5 - 6.5 wouldn't it? 8 is not out of the question though. IN Keeper Defender Striker 1 Striker 2 OUT Goldson Towell Skalak Hemed (I'm counting a loan, either way, as a bit of BUSINESS)

First team squad players in and out - how many bits of BUSINESS will we do?
