At this point i will take any rumour to avoid the endless GIFs

Maybe they have decided they have to get rid if Colwill?

I agree with all of this, but chances are without FFP he would have been out of the door even sooner

Do we know any details about his contract situation?

Barnes looks perfect for this team

Thankfully almost guaranteed that we will get an invite to any Saudi competition - I suggest we are the sole founder member and the 'big six' have to qualify every year

As a total luddite I'd be interested to know how this works as there is a documentary on rivers I want to watch. If someone could PM we with some details it would be much appreciated.

Yeah - this worked. Ta!

urgh - 30 minute wait then a 404 error

Poor Liverpool - maybe they shouldn't complain about us in future

Whats next though? Will they decide if a player is worth the wages they are on? Im assuming most would say Harry Maguire isnt worth 200k+ a week, but Man utd were prepared to pay it

No worries, we can just sign Frimpong

Check him out yourself!

Genuinely.more excited by this than Barnes or Tonali. If he can fulfil his potential i think this.coulould be an amazing signing. Interesting to see where Howe wants him to play

Im not sure that is Maxi's future

Sigh, because... 1. Gordon/Barnes fit the style we play, Maxi doesn't. 2.Howe and the scouting team rate Barnes and Gordon higher than they do Maxi. 3. Goals are more important than stepovers. Remember Adel Tarabt? 4. We need to sell someone for FFP purposes

He's also cover on the right wing

Money absolutely isn't an issue for us - all that matters is FFP. By selling Maxi we have got rid of a player who isnt fancied by the manager and enabled us to sign a few additional players in this window. I'm not sure if you don't understand this or if you are being deliberately obtuse.

I would have taken £6m combined for Darlow, Hendrick, Hayden and Fraser tbh - the rest can go for minimal fees just to get them off the wage bill and the squad filled with players we want and who want to be here.

Went to see Crawley Town v Crystal Palace yesterday - Eze was absolutely incredible. I think he might be due a big move in the not too distant future

Couldn't care less if he is first, second or third choice as long as it's for someone else.

I think the only time it makes a difference is for perfomance related bonuses which cant be counted until those requirements are met.

Smart move to play out the negotiations in public like this - trying to make out that a fee hasn't already been agreed and that negotiations are between two completely separate entities. From the reactions on here the tactic seems to be working!

Miley looks a much better centre mid than Anderson to me

Shhhh
