Brannagan joining...or not

We won’t know we’ve got him until the club tells us, that’s how it works these days, so we assume the fee has been agreed, but we don’t know for certain. We assume personal terms have been agreed, but we don’t know for certain. We don’t know whether he’s had a medical, agreed to have one, or nothing arranged yet.
 
I don't know which thing I'll be more amazed at if Brannagan signs.
Him actually putting pen to paper or CalderwoodCritchleyWon't taking all the credit for the longest ITK claims in the history of AVFTT😄
 
I just hope that Oxford making this public doesn’t start a bidding war. I prefer the announcement coming after a player has signed, but that isn’t our fault here and it wasn’t with Bishop. But if we do get this over the line - together with getting Stephen Dobbie onto the payroll - it will have been a good week.

“The option has been triggered,” Robinson said.

“We’ve just been speaking about do we go and buy somebody, but I don’t think we can do that 24 hours before the season starts. We’ll have a look on Sunday and see where that goes.

“There’s an option in his contract that if it’s triggered he’s got the right to speak.

“The club he’s going to has been very aggressive in that, we’ve been very aggressive in the counter offer as well.

“You’ll read a lot of negativity surrounding it, that’s part of the industry we’re in, but we’ve tried everything.

“I’ll try to keep my head up and be dignified. There are so many things that aren’t right in my view, but I’ll just smile and wish him luck.

Sounds like it's a done deal from those quotes!

Good to see that fat James Corden isn't at all bitter.

A cold, windswept early January day at Bloomfield Rd - FA Cup third round - Blackpool vs Villa, it's been a slog but the Blackpool defence have kept the Villains at bay for 90 minutes, the atmosphere is bordering on feral, a small plastic Scouse man hides behind his boss as constant abuse is directed towards him from the stands.

We enter stoppage time, the small plastic scouse man's boss starts to say how this is a good result and the replay should be easy, that moment there's a misplaced pass from the Villa midfield, a flurry of panicky passes finds the ball at Josh Bowler's feet, one man to beat, his instinct is to knock it past and run for the corner, locks blowing in the wind despite the constraints of his headband he glides past the defender and reaches the edge of the area, looking up, more in hope than expectation, to see if anyone in Tangerine has joined him, he sees one shirt, that of Cameron Brannagan, the ball is squared and instinctively Brannagan lets fly a first time punt, top corner, the keeper nowhere as the net bulges.

Up in the stands the Blackpool owner, Sir Simon Stadler, grins to himself as he watches the small plastic scouse man crumple to the floor on the sidelines, his boss spitting his chewing gum out, it lands on the small plastic scouse man's head.

'Fuck off fuckface, you little plastic scouse traitor' thinks the owner.

The players celebrate wildly. The big striker, tired after 90 minutes of battle suddenly makes towards the bench. He's not going to celebrate with his own manager though. He holds out his hands to the other bench. What is he doing here? He's making a gesture. Some kind of shape with his the thumbs and forefingers of each hand. It's a heart emoji shape! The rest of the players catch on, one by one, they trot over and adopt the pose. The north stand, the south stand and even the west stand are on their feet too. Everyone is holding out a heart to the little scouse man. His boss slips. He's done this before. The little scouse man now has nowhere to hide now. There ground is silent, 13,500 people making heart gestures at him. The big striker changes his pose. He holds out his arms, starting to quiver his hands... the crowd make a noise like an aeroplane taking off and then Cameron Brannagan steps forward, punching the air once, twice, and then three times.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

The referee blows the final whistle. The universe is realigned. Putin pulls out of Ukraine. Interest rates fall. Everyone gets a pay rise anyway.

We all live happily ever after. (except the little scouse man who has to help his boss up, dust off his scallie trackies and make him a brew before doing his job for him for a third of the pay)

This may be a bit crass but seeing Karl Robinson throw his toys out of the pram and get moody makes me a little horny.

It is great to see but can also understand his frustration. Losing a player like Brannagan 2 days before the season is supposed to start with little warning must hurt.

I feel no sympathy though.
 
Cordon basically say that hes built the team around Brannagan and now he's chose to leave. They've offered him a deal but he's made the choice that he'd rather play for us. I 100% get why he's upset about that but hearing Cordon so obviously fuming is music to my ears.
