I am. That's all you'd be able to comprehend. (And that just means you had me blocked)

There have been days since it all started that nothing has happened. You're that one that went from rumour and if true to surely.

Could.......but won't.

He used the word integrity. I frightened the dog with my reaction.

Has it stopped and as you say "the rumour".

How does it suggest that ? To me it suggests he is getting rid of some stuff in the name of self preservation if things dont happen, see Ornstein saying Isak would stay. Fwiw I wouldn't be at all surprised if there had been dialogue through intermediariesbut that need not mean making a deal as much g as 'whats your position'

It's not perfect but better than what we currently have. It makes much more sense to have all the major leagues starting after the window has shut.

UEFA wide should be a window from the start of June until the end of July. Then all of January.

But the promise has to be at a price of our dictating,not his agents

To be fair I guess the majority, and my own position has been both. Get what we consider his value, maybe even with a being a twat premium, if they don't offer that and if he continues to be a twat then let him rot. It's all on our terms.

£64.68million is the price. If the above is true.

Then he say "I never said that".

It's horrible the way the season starts, 3 games then a break, all the transfer shit still going on. Doesn't feel like it properly gets underway until mid Sept. The idea that the window shuts after the season has started is stupid.

More so it seems like the game has crept up on us, as if something else has had our focus.

Yeah obviously. But I'd also ask for even more to get it.

My house isn't on the market, but Ive an idea how much I'd get for it if it was and how much extra it would take if it wasn't. Im not going to get drawn into the cultural stuff as a lot has been said about that which has also been seen to be not quite on the button.

Then if they come back with the figure I had in mind ?

Might be. There's also the danger of a selling club missing out by asking too much. Particularly thinking of European clubs here.

I think its 50-50 whether he stays or goes and I'll bet there is work going on behind the scenes for a replacement in case.

My house is valued at more than I'd accept for it. Haggling 101.

Is getting close to your valuation, which you've probably ramped up anyway, being seen to be weak ? I mean its getting waht you wanted. Before he kicked off if someone came in with 150mill I'd seriously have considered it.

Not according to Sir Alex.

If its close to our valuation have we caved ?

That's why I'd play both. The double threat of their speed springing away on breaks, both comfortable pulling wide and plenty of energy to take turns dropping into the middle 3.

Played well v Man City at home last season. When he was player of the tournament for the under 21s he played up front but as a 2. I'd be tempted to go with him and Elanga on Saturday, 3/5 at the back.
