The deadline for this deal was apparently set at midnight last night. Don't ask me by whom, I am merely a humble vessel passing on such valueless, erm, invaluable infornation.
Cesar Sanchez of Zaragoza is the boy.
Rumoured to be the missing great great grandfather of Rumplestiltskin he is aged 36.
An ex Real Madridista with Champions League experience Sanchez will make a refreshing change in that as a Premiership number two he won't be some poor guy suddenly thrust into the limelight should he be called upon.
The vulagrities of money, then. The fee is likely to be undisclosed as the financial thrust of this move centres around the salary of the Spanish Sticksmith. Tottenham were said by Heraldo newspaper yesterday to be 'assisting Zaragoza with their wage bill' by taking him on a deal whereby they only had to continue pay of 40% of the goalies wages. Levy, you old cove.
The source of this story is Mrs Edith Carmichael, 72. Using only an upturned bucket, her tweaked NHS hearing aid and a home made periscope, she risked life, limb and Levy to bring you this breaking news.
On the cards for a while...certainly needed experienced back up!
Now for CB's please

Any news on the Corluka situation gone all quiet or have we just given up on him?
Why are we not in for Cuellar? or will he end up being a Boumsong

Cuellar is not all that! trust me! after watching Rangers and the SPL alot last season I can tell you that at £8m Villa have paid over the odds.
Its very very very easy to look good in the SPL! As proven by our win over Celtic, the best team the league had to offer, beaten by a spurs side who played the entire game in 3rd gear!
Welcome Sanchez, now where is Corluka???
The news on Corluka is that, although we agreed the fee, he signed the contract etc. City didn't file their paperwork with the Premier League.
We sent paperwork through, but without their confirmation there's no deal to argue over.
I still think we'll get him with an increased bid though.

Any word on Veloso or Arshavin...?
The buggers didn't have to going hunting for a You Tube vid!

Cesar Sanchez? El Segundo.
I heard Valdez is coming. Tell him: Valdez is coming. Honor is Always Worth Fighting For.
The Mexican Rider has already arrived. I'm waiting for Diego.
Harry, you know a thing or two about football, don't you. So tell me, apart from having a comprehensive knowledge of tactics and player-development, is it essential for a coach to be expert in swooping, capturing and snapping up?
I ask because, whenever players are recruited, the coach has invariably 'swooped' for them; or 'captured' them; or 'snapped them up'. Occasionally they've been 'landed', like a fish.
Are there coaching badges avaliable in these skills? Personally, I'd like to become proficient in swooping, but generally being able to snap up more effectively would come in useful.
Dont know him, and if Gomes stays fit dont suppose i will. The big question for me is why dont we let Berb the serb leave. Hes a fucking arsehole that fella! Undoubted talent, Questionable passion, Zero loyalty. What a git!

1. We wont proper amounts of wad
2. Old Rednose is an even bigger git and we won't sell to him unless he offers 1) or fecks right off

"I know more about smalz herring than I do about football."
Of course these badges would also need to bare the accommpanying word 'audacious.'
As it is suggested that most of saia signings were achieved in conditions so adverse that they would have put off all but owners of the St George's Cross.
Surely if Berba leaves for United which looks likely we will have to sign another striker. Does anyone know anything about this Nene character? I would have thought Ramos would go for Villa.
"I know more about smalz herring than I do about football."
Sugar. Nice one!
Just been watching the local news (being a Stockport Yid)that had the following from Garry Cooke City's Exec Chairman -
"City's future is not in jeopardy. In the short term its business as usual. We don't rely on Dr Thaksin's money" etc etc.....
I know loads of City fans and they all think they're in the sh1t!
Don't know how this will effect the chance of us getting Corluka but the goings on at City seem very strange. Not sure we can afford to wait around to see if we can get him as we look a bit short at the back, can you imagine if Ledders and Woody get injured we'd be looking at Dawson and Zokora or Thud! very worrying.

Hail Cesar!
Hail - snow, rain, thunder, lighting - the lot! Julius in?
With Fergie saying he's in for Villa and Berbatov, it appears Rudolph up to his old mind games again. I this could be signal that we might just be waiting to close on Villa once the Berba sale goes through.
Just been informed by a source who I trust and who has been ever reliable in the past, that Corluka is quite tall.

I am going to fire my short-hand typist. It's so hard to find good help these days.

I keep my step ladder in our garden. We've never really had that closeness. Like I had with my real ladder.
'A ladder is simply a vertical or inclined set of rungs or steps. There are pictures of ladders on rock paintings which date back to over thousands of years. The original ladder was most probably made of tree trunks. From there the ladders progressed to a steadier wooden ladder and then to a rope ladder and now of course we have ladders made of aluminum and fiberglass.' LINK
And all this time I've been calling them Ledders.

And all this time I was told it was normal to keep my step mother out in the shed as well.
