[Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

[Blue Valkyrie]

Do we want him? He looks shit tbh

Yep.

Signing him would worry me, but better than nothing and if we can get him dirt cheap or on loan then perhaps OK ?

El Pres posted something interesting on Twitter yesterday - indicating a number of mortgages against the parent company of Brighton & Hove Albion had been settled with Barclays very recently. May of course be planned but I wonder if we have preferred to settle some of these 'debts' as a priority because of COVID

Apologies if I'm being dumb but what do you mean by mortgages?

Not that I understand the implications. Maybe El Pres can advise but looks like a bunch of mortgages from 2011 or so

Last season:

Lallana: 8 starts in all comps, 14 appearances as sub, 1 goal ( v Manchester United).

Wellbeck: 10 starts, 10 sub appearances, 3 goals (v Swansea, Norwich, Arsenal)..

I appreciate the help, sadly I'm none the wiser! [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] (or any accountant/fiscally minded person)what does it mean?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

It's a no from me. Too injury prone and would rather save wages on a future striker perhaps in January.

James said we have absolutely no interest in Welbeck.

I wouldn't normally take any notice of what a bland 90s Manc band thinks about our transfer business, but on this occasion I hope they're spot on.

Sounds like you are born out of frustration...

He just didnt look interested 90% of the time he was at Watford, did very little apart from that bicycle kick.

His imaginary friend.

He’s ITK you know!

It's just tidying up the relationship with Barclays, think TB is now the main lender so no need for mortgages.

What if it was a comment from a one hit wonder Scottish indie band from the mid 80's

Deacon Blue?

Neither Deacon Blue, nor Danny Wilson were one hit wonders. Nor were they indie bands in the true sense of the word, both being on major labels. James were an indie band (although I think that Blanco y Negro was one of those indie labels set up by a major). They weren't bland back in the day. Stutter is a fine album and their 'One Man Clapping' is one of the great underrated live albums. Johnny Yen and Burned were particular stand outs. Skulldugery on their first album was a song about insects eating someone's head from the inside. Definitely not bland back then.

By the way, it seems clear that, barring a bad injury before the deadline, we won't be signing anyone from the EFL, nor any free agents.
