Nothing was ever going to happen today. Close sources said earlier this week it might not be done before Rafa's contract expired. It'll go through but it'll take a while.

Mou money, Mou problems.

No. The f*** you is him staying and Rafa leaving and selling Perez for 20m and replacing him with Aaron mooy on loan Perez would cost more than 20m but we would be better off loaning him out for the first half of every season anyway.

If that is not correct that's libel. It could be though we shall see.

LMFAO

Get in

Classy.

I fucking hate Micahel Owen. Jake Humphries couldn't even be arsed to argue with him as he had already made his point and he didn't comprehend.

True It up was the last youth talent we bought that did ok.

I can’t think of one single youth they’ve bought who’s made the step up. In recent years we’ve had Paully D and Carroll. 2 fucking players in 10 years from our own youth system. Tragic. Longstaff is probably sandwiched between those 2 in terms of potential and he will probably have a better career than both.

Its the Russians.

We’re a bargain at £300M. In fairness Chelsea have a fuckload of the promising youth worldwide on their books and the players alone will probably be worth not far of that at some point. Chelsea will sell them for nowt though then they'll end up at a rival after a couple of years whilst they go out and sign proven players for ridiculous fees.

It's strange how he flew under the radar them bam.

I didn't know clubs could buy clubs. What happens if they got drawn together in the World Club championship?

agree What’s the reason for this? Kenyon has a proven pedigree of improving clubs commercially. Staveley could be anything. Stavelely worked on the Man City takeover and they have done pretty well commercially considering they were in League 1 not that long ago. She'll probably buy the mackems and turn them into a top 4 side or some shit.

I can't complain with anything this wonderful man has done. He is building from the back and we are excellent defensively and have outstanding central defenders. He has added a hopefully a key player in Almiron (we shall see) from an attacking perspective but building, training and organising an excellent defence is a lot cheaper than building an amazing attacking threat and that's what he has done probably because he had no choice. He has had very little to spend but really Murphy is probably the only real significant failure but who would have known that and he was probably at the bottom of his list but it was sanctioned due to his age. Lazaar, Gamez etc were all punts. If we are taken over and he is allowed to build even slowly over a 5 year period it would be amazing and also probably very rewarding for him.

Sounds fucked. If he was guilty he probably would have resigned but then why did the others leave? Seems highly unusual.

It's just nice to sign a fairly young fresh talent. We could have spent the same on a mediocre player who has premier league experience but at least it is exciting. He looks exciting. We will se but at least we have him to watch so some excitement.

They had no choice really. Almost like a repeat of last year where they ended up with no strikers. If Griggs scores like he can they will go up. If he does they won't.

Well to be fair Pep Guardiola is probably a better judge of a holding midfielder than any of us on here so can see why anyone would put him in. I would probably have him and Ki but not every game. It is Ki and either Diame or Longstaff for me. I think come the summer we need to sell shelves and bring in another more creative CM, sell Diame and bring in another holding midfielder. If we do that I would be happy with our Central midfield but we probably need another as Hayden will leave.

Probably told the bank the loan was for a Home Improvements so can't say.

Still don't understand how they have done this. Makes no sense.

I have no idea. Sounds like a pointless rule though so you are probably correct.

Surely he'll take Murphy's number.
