Has he got family of his own does anyone know? At 28? Got staying in London written all over it “if” so…

Because he never said it was done. He said it was all but done. Massive difference. The fact you’ve stated that highlights you and others clearly read into things how you want to read into them. So with that in mind my interpretation is it isn’t done. Your interpretation is it’s done. Which one of us is looking right as it stands? 🙂 We’ve wanted him for 12 months. Agreed personal terms. Player is publicly telling everyone he’s joining us = almost done. Done = all the above plus fee agreed, medical passed and contract signed. Amazes me how many of you find this so difficult to comprehend

I think they’ve been pretty much on the mark with all our targets and progress on them TBF. If you can interpret what they are sharing correctly 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is where PSR has screwed us… embed the Pedro Here We Go for £25m tweet also from 3yrs ago… Who wouldn’t pay £20m now?

He wants Spurs and Frank and bigger wage deal doesn’t he? Don’t get carried away with this one…

Exactly. Things in life and particularly football can change so quickly. Especially in a transfer window. I know I bang on a bit but all journalists do is pass on info they are given. The fault lies with those that think the info is guaranteed fact.

“All but done” You can be both be stood at the altar thinking a wedding is all but done.Until you consummate it anything could happen … Same as saying 99% certain. That to me is it’s not certain 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thought I’d start the day with some positivity We’ve officially sold Longstaff now so the club will definitely be bringing in a player for either that position or some kind of hybrid and no names have really been mentioned strongly which I find kinda exciting…

Similar. Not quite as far as seriously wrong but as much as I’ve accepted and understood Delap, Pedro, Ekitike (any others?) why we’ve missed out this one would be embarrassing unfortunately unless a genuine reason reveals itself. Hopefully just Burnley playing the game now that Longstaff is confirmed as they’ll want the funds to aid their recruitment 🤞🏻

That will take 20 years… (to build an academy as good as theirs)

I agree. Though I’m happy if we miss out on top 4 frequently. Are others?

Remember the days of the takeover and we split the positive posters from the negative ones? Just saying…

There’s over 6wks left of the window.

Look who’s training in the same place…

He was already our top earner 12 months ago. Contracts are there for a reason. If you want to go down the gentleman’s agreement route then ditch your agent and put that money also in your own pot. Renewing at 4yr stage a top earner would have a massive ripple effect with the rest of the squad. Also don’t forget if indeed there’s truth in either of this he not only wanted a pay rise but a release clause leaving us powerless. Look what’s just played out in last couple of days and maybe thank Mitchell…

Seemed sensible to me. You don’t renew an already top earner with 4yrs to left on contract. To leave it with 3yrs to go far more sensible.

I can see the logic but also the flip side is having 6(? Lost count!) keepers on the books and more of our budget gone. Vlac going on loan to Betis might be the trigger. Surprised there’s not more noise about Dubs leaving.

Hasn’t he scored lower than Kelly did per game?…

We need ONE player who can do both. “Thats the real trick isn’t it?… and it’s going to cost you something extra”

Do you think Real Madrid need a DOF to get footballers in? Sometimes it is what it is… the players we wanted at top of our lists were also wanted by more financially established clubs… no surprise. I take comfort in who we are targeting look very good players at a good age. Last summer fans moaned about us seemingly spending too much time on Guehi. I don’t think we actually did personally but regardless it’s clear we certainly aren’t this time.

They will of known our first year of PSR spending under the new owners was dropping off and therefore allowing us to attempt to sign some expensive players.

Who’s idea was thisa?
