Easy. There's bloody saxophones in that lad.

Is it really that unexpected? It has been widely reported that Pérez had itchy feet and we all know Ashley’s love for making a few Bob regardless of the consequences. Wasn’t one of the main sticking points for Rafa that he wasn’t given enough control over transfers? If that’s the case then this is exactly what was expected: f*** whichever desperate dupe they appoint, he’ll be given what to work with and told to get on with it (see “Pardue). As for the takeover, not sure anyone would sit back and see the value of the club diminish after already having agreed a price. He’s just getting on with things isn’t he...I’d be amazed if a deal goes through now. This just looks like every other close season / transfer window now, only worse I know it's easy to say "but it's Ashley, it doesn't have to make sense" but to leave your squad with 1 actual striker (Joselu is not a striker) is beyond crazy, it just makes no sense on any level. My guess is he's looking to buy big in the hope it appeases us on some level - those Joelinton rumours make more sense with this sale. It does, in the sense the morons think we could swap out one with the other. The chances of Joelinton or any one else actually being interested in coming here now is the problem. Let's say there are players still wanting to come here, whixh of course there are. They're only likely to be not good enough or in it for the money leeches we have seen before.

Yeah. I'm done with this happening. At least before season start. Ashley can still make money out of us in the championship. He is fine with flirting with that possibility combined with a gambling chance of staying up and coining it in. We are his roulette wheel. Bet on black or white it's a winner to Ashley.

Who the hell will we have left after everyone that's moving gets sold? Woodman Yedlin Clarke Dummet Lazaar Ritchie Ki Colback Almiron* Shelvey Joselu *catch him while you can Just make it quick and painless.

Fair play to England and the state's. Really close. The state's begrudgingly have the extra class and experience. From watching the last world cup this is a different England team. Our defence is our worst enemy. If we can improve there in the next cycle we can beat anyone.

Right call on VAR unfortunately. Two cynical yellows not given since. Again, embarrassed I obviously haven't seen enough of the women's game in the last few years other than major tournaments. The quality of play is really impressive. The pace is unbelievable. Can't stand the state's but credit they are hugely talented.

Ah that's why they are holding out for 90 for Maguire. Have to fund the 100m bid for Ayoze. In reality. A Benitez esque surprise move. Can surely do better. Guess he likely doesn't have a choice it the bid is accepted. Ashley asset stripping as quick as he can.

Wise as DoF and JFK as manager. Don't rule it out. Pretty sure Avram grant is coming in as dof if Ashley stays.

To be fair the tweet say next few days. So likely Friday. The local rags said maybe tmrw but since when have they known anything. I fully expect the statement to just be a simple. "We are still interested things are progressing, we are hopeful."

No way, he is a footballer, we need assets Too true. We will probably sign bas dost over Rondon despite the former being 4 months older.

I think so too. He also hasn't ruled it out. He did mention his next job would be a project but at a club with ambition that matched his. Doesn't fit currently. Might with new ownership. Still a tough ask coming in after rafa adoration wise. It could really backfire and we know he wouldn't take any rejection well. His link to bobby would pull him through any objections. Under any normal circumstances we would be over the moon at the proposition.

So sad in every sense of the word.

Can bet we will sign Sturridge as a gesture signing. He will end up playing 6 games and crocked the rest.

Whole lot happier him being abroad managing. When he is back in the premiership that will really hurt like hell.

Depends if new DOF Avram wants him.

Don’t care.

But new boss will get 2m of that 15 to spend. Remember that.

Trojan horse.

Or neither.

15m according to the mail. They can fuck off with that like. 50m for a RB. Longstaff should start at 30m given his form and the hype. Don't blame him for going, obviously the club will take Any thing they can get for him. Another what might have been. Should have built a side with him central to it.

No, it was Danny Wilson Ah good call! Completely mixed them up. Danny Wilson is a good call for next manager tbh.

Redfearn was manager of Sheffield weds for bobbys first game wasn't he? Also he was working in our academy for a bit for a while last year wasn't he then left. Was he covering part of Beardsleys leave? The cynic say he was brought in incase rafa left then lol

Exactly. No chance we pay compensation for a short term manager and no chance we pay compensation when there are cheaper options. If we do it's done to try and pacify some fans and keep money flowing. Ironic when sales would have gone through the roof if they backed Rafa.

I'm going. I'm an arsenal fan now.

I thought about that the other day. Exactly the type of pr stunt he would love right now.
