The two most important parts of a football team not addressed again, what is it with us and packing the team with midfield players? We've potentially upgraded the midfield, finally, but not addressed the glaring problem of conceding and scoring goals. Sure the football will look prettier in possession but we're still going to struggle at the back and miss the wide side of a barn up front. Fuck this.

If all our eggs were in the Beharino basket and we've now given up then we've fucked ourselves. Without goals in the team the other aquisitions are pointless.

Aye but at least it'll raise his price somewhat which could make it more difficult to pry him from us.

That only means it's been delivered man. Two ticks = delivered blue ticks = read. Know your apps much?

This is it for me, if you're serious you get on the phone and demand an answer, you make another bid or you walk away. You don't sit on outlook hammering the F5 key whilst sweating buckets. Get it done or pull the plug ffs.

Is that his age?

WBA don't need to sell but they know that we need to buy, we're over the barrel with our pants firmly down. It'll take a daft amount to pry him away, I'm not sure we'll meet that valuation.

Funny how sky seem to know about who hasn't 'reply to all'. Bollocks. Hes waiting for an auction to happen. If he doesn't sell just before the deadline at this price he's absolutely mental i agree, berhaino is going today like, peace is a f***ing madman if he doesnt sell a player who isnt being played and has 18 months left on his deal for money like this. Why would he care? TV money more than covers it, also they'll get similar offers in the summer. TV money or TV money + 20-odd million? I don't care how much you earn from TV money that's still a huge chunk to cut your nose off at.

Any team can say any player is not for sale, but everything in this life has a price, it's just finding one that can't be refused. WBA might not want to sell but they're not gonna shut off the fax machines or whatever in case someone bids an offer that can't be refused. Is it a PR exercise by us or are WBA milking this cow until it's red raw? It's getting tiresome now though, glad there's only one day left of this fiasco.

A cup game, he's been used as a late sub in any appearances he's made in the PL recently, not really had much of a chance.

I don't see how West Brom can command a fee of 30m for a player who is out of favour, not playing and has been publicly chastised for being disruptive. They're obviously pushing the boat out in terms of value and we're trying to turn their heads with our value, which is probably closer to his actual worth. He's only going to depreciate in value so I think we have a chance especially with money up front.

And turn the volume dial to an even number?

It's been said but unless we get someone to put the ball in the back of the net it doesn't matter how much service you buy. We've made some decent-ish aquisitions so far but ultimately it'll be futile without a striker, a left back wouldn't go amiss either, if we haven't run out of ideas by now. One thing's for certain Gomis isn't the answer to our goal drought.

This was discussed a few days ago. You don't go to jail in Spain for a first offence, if it's less than 2 years of prison time. The article is crap, I guess they didn't bother checking how our legal system works. Missed that one, cheers VI tbf if you have that kind of money there's always a way out in most corrupt legal systems

Mascherano looking like he's going to jail: http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2609763-javier-mascherano-handed-1-year-prison-sentence-for-tax-evasion?utm_source=outbrain.com&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=global-sports

Naturally

I hope we've got a plan y lined up for LB

Yeah I thought that too! This time last year 15/01/15 his first signing at Palace:

This thread is going to be so great in a year's time. He won't be there in a year's time because it's Palace not NUFC and when the fall from grace is complete and they're dropping like a lead balloon Palace will twist rather than stick and pull the trigger on the smarmy cunt.

You can't sell a manager or director on for profit though so it probably makes no sense to him. Besides someone who is actually good at their job might have ideas above their station for the club. He got £3m for fucking Pardew like I'll give you that one, possibly the greatest piece of football business I have ever seen.

That was a superb goal!

Done

Waiting for the obligitory FundMe campaign from one their monkeys to provide a plane to fly over our next home game.

Is that you underneath referencing HF's article Dave? Good call
