    It's the new player recruitment policy to only sign players who sound like minor Mafioso characters in a mob movie.

    Hence Neil Farrugia and Joe Gauci.

    We've narrowed our pool.

    Striking options? Dara Costelloe is going out on loan to League One from Burnley. Seems to fit the bill so I'd imagine we're trying to do a deal.

    The reason behind out lack of transfer business is that we've accumulated a large poor of players on expensive wages that aren't consistently performing, and we can't afford to buy and pay for the replacements unless someone takes some of those that we've already got.

    You know when you read the OP, did you think, 'this is clearly a serious post, but he's got it wrong, I better correct him'?

    I hear Jack the hat McVittie was walking around the taarn today (without a hat on actuality lol), and he popped into the pub for a quick one.
    So there's our new defensive coach. :rolleyes:

    In fairness, Donny Pines could easily be a mafiosa from Detroit.
