We will get a statement from Ashley soon and that will be the make or break, for me.

Gareth Bale.

Ashley will offer them bacon sarnies at the signing and scupper the whole thing.

Luke Edwards now saying that the club is on the verge of being sold... wish these cunts would make up their minds.

Alright fair fucks. We will see.

The latter. How can a respected Dubai based journo with links to the royal family and 400k Twitter followers not be deemed credible?

Sorry Loki but unless you give us a source you are getting banned... in my mind at least. So he's getting muted? Something like that.

If it's not true, it must be one of the worst cases of media hysteria. Every fucker in the middle east are saying the opposite of what the English journalists are. Very strange.

So its bullshit, basically.

Absolute horseshit.

Mate, Arab Sheikhs dont buy football clubs to have them "competing in the top half".

The gift...

Aye but it's an indicator of his confidence that something will be agreed. In his mind, he thinks hes staying.

The comparison between the Shearer exit is terrible. Rafa has told the players that he will see them in pre season FFS. I'd be concerned about the club's ability to keep any promises.

It can't be a surprise to anyone that our negotiations team is slow. By this time in a player transfer we would still be monitoring.

If Rafa was angry at something, we would know about it by now. He was leaking loads during the previous transfer windows about his frustrations.

They are all fucking guessing. 7 days of negotiations? Charnley works Monday to Friday 9-5 at best, even then he probably gets an early finish on a Friday. Talking via email? We are still on smoke signals and carrier pigeons man.

As in this is his last year or hes going into his last year? Still dont see how we afford his wages, even without a transfer fee.

You mean, Rafas a good manager? His centre halves will always look good as there is 2 centre mids sitting in front and the full backs aren't 25 yards up the pitch. On the other hand, Rafa's attacking players sometimes seem isolated.

How are we paying his wages?

The most probable outcome is that he signs a new deal and gets some concessions and a little bit more to spend than he has done. Mike Ashley will do just enough to keep Rafa and hail himself as a hero in the process.

How do you know Odin?

Tempted to stick money on them winning the championship next year, especially if they can get Gayle.
