That was kind of him but I've never had an inside track. All I do is keep my eyes and ears open for any bits and pieces I can get, and try to analyse them sensibly.

That’s because you don’t do yoga, my friend…

Melissa Reddy knows fuck all since Mane left.

She knows how to pose for photos in her bikini on the beach & she knows how to show off her cleavage pretty well too.

That's good enough for me!!!!

Busy few months, health issues (hopefully nothing major but still finding out), and grandchild number two has been keeping me on my toes! Bonus is I now have one child left at home who is on the verge of going Uni and then I'm back to being 18 again, the big reset.

Best wishes on that, mate. Hopefully nothing serious?

You've got grandkids?! What the actual fuck

8 pages in 24 hours?! Is this one actually happening? Also is he any good?

maybe this lad can be our de bruyne light

It's smokescreen for JWP.

If mount goes for 60, then why on EARTH are we not getting this wrapped up

Because it would mean taking our net spend to almost £100m which is unspeakable and unprecedented for FSG.

Looks wise he could be our .... Tom Hardy lite.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

9 pages.
We're among the financially weaker teams in the league based on net spend.
The coutinho way is the only way for a team with fsg as owners ... and we don't do that anymore, or are incapable of doing it ?
Destroyed the Red Sox after making them kings for years... I guess they're trying their luck with us too now?

Well how many pages did we have for Jude?

Wage demands of 250K-300K per week. That is approaching Salah levels. No way we were sanctioning that for Mount.

For mount, Christ no. For this guy who's better on who will take less wages? Absolutely

 

[Hansern]

Szobo is on about 70k now, so we'd probably double his wages and still be half of what Mount will get.
For a better, younger player with a lot more potential.

Well, the clause expires today, so we'll have to see if we're actually willing to try and improve and forward plan, or if we're happy to sit back, relax, and slide in to irrelevance

Knowing us we’ll let it expire in the hope of negotiating a better deal after today, and then that wont be possible.

 

[Hyena]

I don't understand the rationale of letting a clause expire. Why not just make a bid for payment in installments now? If RB are willing to do a structured deal two days later they'll do it now.

 

[Fabio]

Tomorrow we'll offer 30m, and be surprised when they say no. "we tried, but we just can't compete" the cries will be.

 

[Fabio]

It literally seems like we have a free run at him as far as PL teams go. Chelsea are after Veiga, United got Mount, Arsenal got havertz....It's only City left, who seem to be prioritising other areas.

Genuinely, what the actual fuck is going on with our club? huge fanbase, great success in recent years, supposed huge investment coming, a ground that could be considered a world heritage site, an iconic manager, storied history......pinching pennies wherever we can

 

[tomasjj]

easy now, easy

one more midfielder at least, and a cb will be coming in

we will likely sell a few squadies too

Yeah - but as has been mentioned before - with release clauses payment is generally demanded all upfront - so we’re likely to want to spread the payment over time and hope RBL will accept a slightly larger amount & staggered payments.

Which is a convoluted way of saying… it ain’t happening.

So far the only squaddie thats been linked away i've seen is phillips for 10m.

I genuinely think we'll spend a maximum of 50m now, across all signings. Thuram (if we're lucky) and a freebie CB (which should have been N'Dicka).

I am a pessimist of some renown, so don't take my thoughts as gospel

Now this I agree with but let's face it, it would come to the surprise of absolutely no one.

We know what FSG are about, 12 years and counting enduring the same tripe year after year.
