They had to build us up first, with yesterdays news of Rhys Carr leaving to lower our expectations to add boom

I dont get the obsession with this, it's not like if he is registered in time he HAS to start tomorrow.
No obsession, it's simply a convenient excuse for both clubs that removes all doubt and invalidates any talk from people who are obsessed with the idea he must play if available.

If he is revealed after midday it doesn't mean that he was registered after midday, I don't think he'll play tomorrow regardless of when he was registered
Apropos of nothing, but I remember in the pre internet days when we sold Kevin Richardson to Southampton; I only found out about it when he lined up for them at the next game at HR.

I was really confused.

I would announce it after the game tommorow. Don't need and drama or provoke the hardcore Swan ultras 🤣! Might inspire their team to raise their performance like Pompey game a bit.
Play it cool, calm the drama down, and just focus on trying to bring the 3 points back and kill the Swansea away jinx. 😀

I am pretty sure all of their players know full well regardless of it being announced.

But it's clear he is signing for us and the fans are likely to tell their Swansea counterparts how he's left cause they're shite so nothing is going calm things down.

Can we at least wait until we’re beating them clearly…

flashbacks to singing “it could have been you” to Callum Doyle just before Leicester slot a second past us

should do but alas I fear we'll be singing long before the game even starts

swansea's reaction makes it nailed on to be sung early

Regardless of when it’s official I’m sure Frank et al have been tapping into his inside knowledge.

He’s trained with those players every day for months/years and knows better than scouting reports how their manager thinks.

Invaluable information I hope we’re aiming to utilise to end the Swansea curse!
and just in time to sell him again on Monday before the window shuts when we're finished with him

"Yeah Frank, they play with a lad in the middle who everything goes through, stop him and you're sorted"

I’ll be honest, I did have a quick look at Sheff U’s Twitter.

I am half expecting a double announcement tonight. Grimes and either Josh Bowler or Jamie Paterson. With all the snippets that we have been looking at wingers (the Rangers guy, the Chelsea lad and Schlupp) I cant believe we wont end up with one

rules out one then. Josh Bowler would be decent if we are the unnamed championship club supposedly taking him on loan
