That’s exactly why we don’t attack. Perez should be playing instead of Joselu

We’re just so scared of the ball. None of them want it.

Also not on the bench today. Think he will be off somewhere. Like Watford.

Watford look terrible now.

When we win you mean

Why are people going with this argument? People still believe stuff being put out by Ashley?

Not sure Ashley cares that much tbh. I was convinced he wanted to sell this time but yet again it’s all lies. He’s got it good here, the club costs him nothing.

On hold until summer then. By which time Ashley decides he’s here until we win something.

Nothing changes his position I suppose, but for us as fans it seems a lot more likely that it won't happen and he'll walk. That's the thing I'm worried about. Sign nobody, lose Rafa, get relegated, Ashley stays forever. That’s my fear now.

As if Rafa is going to believe anything Ashley ever tells him.

Could be that Rafa is just aiming incredibly low this time because he knows the club will never get the players he actually wants. He's probably also given up on any long term thinking and will just settle for the bare minimum needed to keep us up then he can walk away at the end of the season without another relegation on his CV. Good point.

So the players we’re chasing, we’ve been quoted the price and Rafa believes we have the money to pay it. This isn’t going to end well is it.

He won’t say anything other than remaining focussed on what his team have to do on the pitch, and say he doesn’t know about any transfers.

Plenty of fans will still blame PCP when we sign nobody this month.

All very depressing isn’t it. Through pure hope we fell for the line that Mike wanted to sell. An actual interested party comes in and proves that it’s just never gonna happen.

When was Lennon last good? I can’t remember him doing anything of note for about 4 years

It’s done mate. He’s here till he’s dead.

Rafa is a bigger man than that, and there's still a small chance the takeover will happen later this year. There will never be a takeover imo.

I'm not 100% but we only get £6m if he gets to certain criteria. 1st team appearances, if he goes on to play for his country, something along those lines. Pretty certain it's not a straight up £6m. It was less than a million. £790k or something at the moment.

That’s exactly it.

I think this goes to show that he’ll never sell, because nobody wants to overpay for us. May as well go watch Gateshead

Yeah that’s what I want to see now too.

I’d rather we signed John Lennon. Aaron Lennon? Aaron Lennon? Really?

He released it that's how fucking thick he is. PCP are to blame. Ashley is saving the day allowing Rafa to sell some players and loaning a keeper from Sunday league in Botswana
