And Jonathan Calleri.

Why would you bring that up on this thread?

No, none, but Maradona was bloody brilliant.

If there had been no Falklands War, if that handball had been against anyone else, nobody in England would remember it. He would simply be remembered as the fantastic, pretty much incomparable footballer that he was.

Cristiano Ronaldo is disliked by many (for that wink, for his diving over the years) but nobody questions that he is one of the greatest players ever to grace the planet. How anyone can deny that Maradona was also this defies belief.

We agree. Again.
Too much agreement is not a good thing in my book...
... perhaps we can disagree over some jazz in 12 days time?

I'm doing the Friday...Saturday, I have other plans. But I like a bit of Nat. Yeah, let's disagree.

Not sure if this has beenentioned elsewhere but was news to me (from the Argus article pre Rotherham, 6 days ago:

'When, approaching the close of the transfer window, Barber travelled to Buenos Aires in pursuit of Jonathan Calleri and it became clear completing a deal for the Boca Juniors striker was bogged down by complications, the club was already in a position to swoop for Elvis Manu.'

I seem to remember we were still linked with this fella even after Manu had signed... Chances of us getting him in Jan? Must've been a real possibility of Barber did indeed fly out there..!?

Only problem being other clubs may be sniffing around. I've written this one off, although it would be a great bonus.

tb was none to forthcoming at the fans forum the other day on this deal but apparently spoke quite openly in our failure to land vydra read into that what you will

If we keep the league position we're in through to January, we could still have a very good chance of getting him.

It's not just Calleri who'd find us an attractive proposition in January. I think we'd have the choice of a number of top class loans or permanent signings as players & their agents eye the possibility of joining a seemingly Premier League bound club. Exciting times.

We must improve our striking options in Jan otherwise i fear that will be our downfall.

Some snivelly little bedwetting nimrod got all titsy with me when I asked 'Where's Barber'? when this story broke.

"oh do you think PB does all the transfers personally ... wah wah wah" or words to that effect.

PB was the only man to make such a massive deal happen, plus it's a statement of intent.
Is 'bogged down by complications' a roundabout way of saying 'it's batshite crazy out here, there are 57 people who say they 'own' JC'.

This'll be it:-

BBC Radio Sussex would never be the same again.

Can't see how this can happen, but we do need more options to score goals if promotion is to happen

Fair play, and there was talk of him going to Milan in January, but if we're in the top few then, we might force him to reconsider.
Decent strikers are few and far between these days, so this looks like an amazing signing. Given that, I suspect he'll be off to a bigger club, or he's not quite as good as we hope/expect.

It all depends on how desperate he is to get to Europe.
I'd hazard a guess the answer to that is very.
Therefore being the only club standing their with a cheque book & pen (one for the kidz) and able to wade through the 'complications' could be very advantageous.

It's hard not to think though, if IF he did arrive in January, he'll be gone by June.

According to someone at the club, the deal with Inter has already been agreed. I did take it that he was going to sign for them in August though so not sure if that means they've agreed a deal for January or maybe it fell through at the last minute...

The Inter deal fell through at the last minute.

We may well have had a bid accepted in the last transfer window too.
