You can but at a fair value. Given some of the prices theyve paid for others 150mill + could be a goer. Doubt he'd go though.

Depends on the injury (if true). If he's coming the game, hold him to his contract.

And Targett.

Isn't that basically the bond we had ?

If only he was under some sort of contract. A one that provides safety for him had he flopped or been injured all the time and also protects the club allowing them to profit to market value should he do well. I'll say it again, I'd rather see us struggle on the pitch than give in to player dictat like that.

Does that mean the Reuben brothers could ?

Us " we offer 25 million for Wissa" Them "Nah mate, we want more sovs than that innit" The ongoing talks......... Us " So erm.....go anywhere nice in the summer ?"

Mackem at work (good lad, we help each other out to get to games and we've always been honest about our teams), happy they are going for it but confused at all the midfielders as he sees their defence as being a massive weak spot. Would snap your hand off for 17th on GD.

......said Atalntista.

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, Never ending nor beginning on an ever spinning reel.

It would be nice to know what the role was. At least Ashworth gave a nice description.

I've no idea.

Given that Eddie has a big say in signings, he'd signed Kelly when he was at Bournemouth and spoke highly of him.......could Kelly have been as much an Eddie signing as a Mitchell one ?

By the sounds of it we did. Then other offers came along.

So if you go in for someone and don't get them you were wrong to go in for them ? We should only go for players only we are after ?

We shouldn't have went for Isak, Arsenal wanted him, Chelsea wanted Gordon etc. We should just know our place ?

Get rid before hes crocked out the game.

Hundreds of billions obvs.

And look how that worked out ! (I know thats what you're getting at.......I just jumped in to emphasise)

How's it rather than 120mill ? what if they want the release clause at 130mill ? What if he has a better seaaon than last and market value goes North of 150mill ?

How do we sell him on our own terms with a release clause ?

Then fuck him. Make him wait his contract out.

And if he gets a new contract with a pay rise, NO release clause.

If Howe has as much power as he seems to he could be culpable himself.

If he sits in a huff then make him stay the remaining 3. I'd rather see the team struggle on the pitch than let players dictate like that. Contracts work both ways and players ought to remember that. For those that crack on about players having short careers, I have some sympathy for those down the ladder who might not be able to pay the mortgage if their contract doesnt get picked up or are injured out the game, less so those who could leave the game tomorrow as multi millionaires if they received a career ending injury.
