7 ? So they've put a new bid in lower than the first. The Ashley/Charnley school of Football ownership seems to have it's first graduate Original bid was mis-reported as 8m but the north east lot reckon it was between 7 and 8. Their original bid is the only bid at the moment. I can see him going to West Brom when Jonny Evans moves on.

Ryder/Douglas are saying that the Dutch expect this lad to leave. I just wish we would stop mucking about. Second bid expected.

Ryder says 15m bid is bollocks. Which makes total sense. They can fuck off for 7m like.

That's funny because if Feyenoord want 20 million euros, NUFC are not in a position to pay it. That's literally the words Charnley will have used.

Mike would have had his helicopter up by now if they had bid 15m.

Streets behind Robson,Keegan and Joe Harvey on that scale He's suggesting that he would win a trophy, which would automatically make him better than Keegan and Robson.

I just think it's all bullshit anyway. We are being lured in to Ashley's narrative again. It stinks. We could have been low balling clubs three weeks ago.

Never knock the old boiler though. Doesn't cost alot, is reliable and you get a good bacon sarny in the morning.

Pete Graves can fuck off like. With his "but I'm one of you," garbage. He's been wrong time and time again.

Just makes Rafa even better if he can sign shite and still win the champions league. Shows that he's an amazing coach.

Did a touch of Dennis Wising, seems to score a few headers, which I like. There's also a few very cool finishes amongst his goals from last season. One of them was an "Ayoze", flick. Hopefully he has enough technical ability.

Clearly someone they have scouted and followed for a while. I'd never heard of him but he sounds like the classic Rafa big lad who can hold the ball up a bit. If it were any other manager I'd have my concerns but if he has anything about him at all Rafa will get it out of him. I suspect we are looking at Joselu with an eye for a goal.

Not really since we are arguably a better team without Shelvey playing anyway. How many goals and assists has Shelvey got so far in the league this season? None.

Merino is a much better player than Shelvey. I wouldn't want Merino to get another injury, we would be fucked.

It makes perfect sense that we've loaned Kenedy and now Shelvey is available. Perfect sense.

We should be keeping Shelvey and signing a striker but in the insane world we live in, I suppose Shelvey would be expendable for a good striker.

I don't think for a second he will play left back. Dummett is one of Rafa's favourites IMO. He will probably play left wing and Rafa will move Atsu inside. Just another option basically.

He wasn't even any good.

Yup... But I'm a mug so I'll get excited regardless.

Yep, I could see us signing a striker for 20m and then selling Shelvey and Mitro for 30m and making a profit..... again.

Aye Chelsea would look at the whole thing as Dzeko for 20m altogether. Which would be smart business from their point of view. Iheanacho is a good shout but also fairly risky given his age.

Didn't they buy him for over £33m? He would be class but I doubt £20m would be enough. His value won't have gone up. Conte might cut his losses.

Hernandez would make sense too. With Shelvey going the other way.

Been linked heavily with Ings but he's hardly worth 20m. Wonder if it's someone like Michy Batshit or whatever the spelling is. Chelsea will want some coin back if they are rinsed for Dzeko. Seems a quick solution to sell a player.
