Maybe Thauvin comes back into the equation when we sell Sissoko in the summer.

The obsession with stats these days is quite tiresome.

Best crosser the club has had since Robert/Solano. Wasn't much good at anything else.

Nothing in the voting I see

Thought they wanted Eder?

Neesy asked me earlier what I thought I broke it down simply... Pros He's faster than anything we've got currently. He's more direct than anything we've got. He's got a better long range shot on him than anything we've got (both feet iirc). He's got something to prove and he wants to play for us. Cons It's a lot of money but I don't think that matters as much these days. There's questions about his footballing intelligence.

Rooney?

Confirmed.

If you think the club has never lied to us intentionally in order to help season ticket sales that's fair enough.

So no proof whatsoever that the club created Austin rumours to appease the fans? I've got no problem criticising this regime but let's actually use things they have done rather than rumours, gossip and exaggeration. They never denied them when they were losing ST holders hand over fist.

My mate who's a massive QPR fan said he was brilliant for them... "Have to say it as I see it with Townsend.When on loan with us he was superb.Non stop energy, can pick a pass & a good finisher.I hope he is a great buy for you.I think he'll do well at the Toon"

The last one was claiming interest in Charlie Austin when anyone with half a brain knew he only wanted to go to Southampton or Bournmouth due to the circumstances. We were never truly in for him let's be honest.

Palace get Adebayor and Chelsea Pato. Surely suggests the coast is clear for Remy? Hopefully. Us taking Towsend and agreeing to step aside for them to get SB so they step aside for Townsend and Remy. That's my logic anyway

This. Don't mean to be harsh Ian but you've got your head in the clouds on this one. Just don't think they get any positive spin out of failing to sign people. I don't know, neither do you two (or Ronaldo) but I just can't see why they would bother with this. I've said I believe they might do things like lower the price late in the deal, or not spend as much as the manager wants etc. I just don't think it's part of some sort of masterplan to delude the public. Anyway, who knows? It just seems a very obscure way to get good publicity. Maybe it's because you work down South these days but you wouldn't believe the shit a lot of fans soak up up here. They've become brainwashed with "we tried..." Stories. Sufficiently enough to renew their Season and Match Tickets. I hear it day in day out with people at work etc. And no need to apologise about bringing it up again as that's the whole point of a forum to discuss things. It's nothing personal

I was referring to the past if you re-read my posts. As was everyone else unless the definition of "Myth" has changed. That's why it's outdated. But you'll never/shouldn't trust them again so you can never be sure of every bid. The argument was they'd never done it and they clearly have.

Boro was my first thought as they are out the cup and MK Dons aren't.

No we couldn't.

Wasn't it proved in the KK lawsuit that the club had been deliberately bidding low? I remember an interview he gave (think it's on YT) that he'd (KK) get the price the club wanted and the wages the player wanted then would sit back to find out the club had offered lower and then just pulled the plug. Ok they may bid but they have been proved to of done this deliberately knowing it won't get accepted in the past.

KK proved it in a court of that this is what they did. What more evidence do you need?

Aye, get some moral victory against our relegation rivals etc. And when we loose?

The gift that keeps on giving.

Done. If you need more PM me.
