My reading of that exchange was that, after the question 'are you confident...?' GC first looked hesitant .....and then said 'yes'

I read that as him thinking 'I'm hoping for two, I can't guarantee it, and indeed nobody can be sure. But its better to say 'yes, I'm confident' - which isn't saying I'm certain - than not to say yes, which would cause potentially unnecessary dismay'

(Or perhaps I'm overthinking this!)
Or it could have been a “we’ve just been talking about this off air Craig, and you know exactly who’s coming in, but I’ve just remembered we need to be coy about this” 😉

GC asked me to take a look at some chap called Griezman - he is meant to be quite good. Also if a guy called Mbappe is seen at the Bernebau to make him aware of our interest before he signs for Real - not convinced he would pass the team ethic test though
I just googled "Exeter City Mbappe" and this post was about 10th on the list. Shows how easy it is to get a rumour going

Need a pint. I'm in the Bridge Inn in Burton. It's by the bridge.

God, I hope so. All we get is loans, where does all our transfer money go?
Ermmm....loan fees perhaps?
(Mind you, the new '73' registration plates also happen to come out today 🤪)

Nothing happening. May as well read through the threads to pass the time.
