Antonio Gallieri

These type of signings never really enthuse me. The players age means they're going to be a bit part player but often the wages they demand don't reflect that diminished status. We've been bitten quite a few times by these 'experienced' signings before - we've looked an dfelt we've got them a...

Not disagreeing with you, just wonder whether the selectors would pick him for the final test on name and potential legacy instead of someone more suited. They shouldn't, but cricket selectors have a history of picking on reputation and which county you play for.

That's taking the biscuit.

Anyone else annoyed they've put Welcome Sakamoto in the tweet instead of Hello 'moto

But if we win the next test and the Oval is a decider, would they want to drop Jimmy for that? Personally, I would as he's been probably the least effective bowler for England this series, but I feel the selectors would put sentiment and hoping Jimmy can have some glorious swansong than picking...

Another option might have been to bring Foakes in for Robinson and let Bairstow have the next test purely as a batsman. Of course it's not going to happen. Anderson will be playing at Old Trafford. Personally I would drop Bairstow for Foakes, but it's not going to happen.

So it's basically personal opinion. Some people will think you're a legend, others will think you're a bit of a cult,

Who are these? Plastic Man U/Liverpool fans?

Still early, but if things carry on like this I may...MAY...tolerate the singing of the Doug King song.

Me too. Hope we've been using it for other potential signings. McNally for one, and given the supposed asking price for Sanderson I'd be tempted to put a bid in there too.

Don't get it. He's quite big.

I think we're well stocked assuming Hamer stays. Sheaf, Eccles and Kelly for DCM O'Hare, Palmer and Allen for ACM Hamer could do a job in either.

Reid has gone.

No way would that be enough. Godden has a history of getting injured and from what I saw Obikwu is nowhere near ready yet. Need at least one more, preferably two if we have a loan.

I imagine that would be including some sort of promotion clause.

Just frustrating that King won't (or can't) provide bridging finance to get some of those through the door now before we end up losing signings to other teams. If we know what Sporting are offering now then we can use that as a benchmark for what we can spend and who to bring in adn King can...

He didn't ask if you were honest, he asked why you wanted a refund. ;)
