I haven't seen too many complaining tbf. I'm one of those who believes that Sissoko was one of our best players, but I'm more than happy if we get £30m for him. Not too many, their are people complaining that this now puts us in profit, we're a selling club ect ect. Its a good deal for a player who didn't even want to be here if we stayed up and I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw him if/when we go back up. Don't see a single issue with it, as long as Rafa is allowed to do what he sees fit I'm happy and confident of the direction we're headed in.

I'm entitled to my opinion if you don't like it then tough I'm entitled to mine. Not stopping you, but I don't agree.

People really just want something to complain about if they've got a problem with this deal like.

Aye, because that's how it's always worked in the past. Aye and we've always had a proper manager in the past as well of course.

Suppose we could use the definition that describes a asset as something useful, which IMO Wijnaldum and Sissoko aren't. Unless the use we had for them is helping us get relegated.

Bit of a gormless comment for a professional sports writer. The 12 signings have been brought in to do a specific job, but we'll have to start again if we get promoted, so it's hardly great business to be making profit by selling premier league assets. Some of those 12 we've brought in are Premier League players, and outside of Townsend (which we had no choice in) I wouldn't want to rely on any of the players we've sold should we go back up, rather rely on the likes of Ritchie and Gayle than the two cunts we've sold for £55m

Which we are and have been since Ashley came in. Absolutely, but they've always tried to cover it up. This time it might even be Rafa's idea. Quite possible. I hope we can keep Ritchie fit I think he will have to bear quite the burden when it comes to creating chances this season. Having fast full backs (especially Lazaar who looks very skillful) and another tricky winger to compliment Richtie is going to help a lot in that department though.

Think he'll do really well in some games, but still be the same frustrating player he's always been overall. A different environment isn't going to change the fact that he's really quite a thick Footballer.

Thing is he wanted to leave us even if we stayed up, he hasn't made the kind of step up he's been on about.

Its been all about giving us a squad capable of winning this league, and IMO we've done that. If we can do that and make profit then all the better.

Only reason would be if we needed the money to bring in a replacement. Otherwise its worth waiting, we'd almost certainly get a higher offer as the windows comes to a close.

It'll probably have a clause to force a sale based on games played.

Remy at left back please Pards

Nah fuck that, stick to our guns and see what offers come in today/tomorrow. If he stays he stays.

Because he reckons Liverpool will only sell or because he's heard something specific about this deal?

I'm not sure you can define what Wijnaldum is, so deciding who is or isn't a better player than him is practically impossible. Either way we've got the players we need and broken even, we don't need to sell Sissoko. If he doesn't go he's not going to want to sit on the bench and Rafa will soon put him in his place anyway. If he wants to act like a cunt he's got a long three years to dwell on the end of his playing career.

Forced loan?, what force is he going to exert exactly?

Sale?, they're buying him?

Did you watch the 9 minute 37 second video with AlmarssadPro in the title? Shows quite a bit of defending their as well. Obviously its youtube so not going to show any shitness, but he does look quite tenacious in defence and importantly quick enough to get back when a team catches us on the break. Also from the examples shown likes to win the ball then break out with it himself, rather than just lumping it to nowhere like Dummet. Wish I hadn't watched that video now like because I'm going to be gutted if we don't get him

Proven in what way? Proven to be shite for at least a year now.

Exactly what we need in this league. Anita running his bollocks off and making us more 'solid' is not. Pitiful fee. Four assists last season (one of those in the last game when it didn't even matter anymore) but how many goals did he cost us? No doubt he had a very good first season, 6 assists and didn't look as bad defensively, but he's been shite for a while now.

Is Gayle and Mitrovic being out official?

Any mention of a fee?

Well they haven't Rafa has said that they are looking for a striker, if it was the club of old, then i'd tend to agree with you, but I Rafa tends to tell the truth. It's fucking August 25th. As per usual the club are putting profit before having a suitable and balanced playing staff. We're in the Championship, we certainly won't be making a profit. We've also clearly been putting bids in for players.
