So the PL have called their bluff in that case? Not sure if one of Europes top QC's would get involved in a bluff (potential). He would have little choice under the cab rank rule. What do you mean he would have no choice? It's not like he was forced to take the case on from the beginning? Unless I'm totally lost here. If approached by a client with a case in his field of law he has to accept regardless of who the client is. No way. There’s zero way that he would have to represent anyone he doesn’t want to. That’s a ridiculous notion.

I'm not quite sure how that's relevant at all. We were already committed to buying Maguire and Wan-Bissaka before Ole had any say. The only signing on the pitch that was Ole's was Fernandes. You're acting like Ole spent £410m. He didn't. It's big for everyone but we have the second highest average attendance in Europe. To suggest it's not a factor is borderline retarded. Ole became manager in December '18, Maguire signed for you in fucking August of 2019 Would help if you read the post. Maguire was a target under Jose never mind Ole. We were always signing him. He's a fucking yoke anyway. But you're clearly full of shit. He wasn't "lined up" at all, you had to haggle with Leicester all bloody summer to finally strike a deal for him, and there were several other teams reportedly in for him. You make it sound like he had already signed by the time Ole came in, which is absolutely not the case at all. Thinking about it though, I genuinely don't know what's worse, if Ole wanted him or not We wanted Maguire the summer previous. Leicester wanted £50m and we didn't want to pay. He was a target for Jose and Woodward. He was not a target identified by Ole. I don't know why you're claiming it was an Ole signing. It wasn't. It is you who is full of shit my friend. I know the transfers of my club better than you do. So you waited a year and paid another 30m on top of the 50m they wanted? Wtf? Lol!!

Aye, the Glazers have never backed the managers... 31 players have been bought who cost over £20m in that time (including Pogba, Mkhitaryn, Bailly, Lukaku, Matic, Lindelof, Sanchez, Fred, Maguire, Fernandez, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Van Persie, Berbatov, Anderson, Mata, Fellaini, Di Maria, Shaw, Herrera, Martial, Schneiderlin, Depay etc etc all costing many times over £20m!). It’s obviously all the Glazer’s fault, and not at all the various managers and recruitment teams in that time....laughable.

Best and most accurate post on here for donkeys. Except for the fact it’s proven the PL only answer to the Big 6, and not heir shareholders, given all the secret meetings and communications that have occurred recently. Hardly most accurate post at all.

Sancho for 44m? Don’t Dortmund want 110m? We bid £91m for Sancho. Dortmund wanted £108m. Just saying if he have the money to be buying Traore for £27m we could have easily afforded Sancho. Just means to me that you can’t afford 110? Don’t see how spending 27 on Traore means you can put extra towards Sancho. You’re not getting them both, so can’t include both amounts.

Sancho for 44m? Don’t Dortmund want 110m?

African you say? Why’s that then?

He failed a medical, but we would still sign him? Righto.

A back up for £35m. How the big boys live.

Thiago was in his final year of contract and had told Bayern he wasn’t signing a new one.

What's that in relation to? Who has said that they are '100% certain' about something ? ‘Puke’ Edwards?

Didnt he go out on loan? They only signed him on 27th August. I don’t think he’s gone out on loan, although could be wrong.

Malang Sarr also at CB

Lowest paid MD in the PL....

Arsenal even sacked their staff whilst paying/bidding transfer fees....

Bruce is. It’s in the article earlier. Not the Kuyt bit, obviously....but it wouldn’t surprise me. Along with Brett Emerton.

So the scouts arent working, and Bruce has to do scouting himself. Plus any targets we did have (presumably as a result of scouting by actual scouts) are now going to be rescouted in Winter. Keeping our powder dry etc etc.

Chilwell & Thiago Silva. Malang Sarr also, from Nice.

Hmmm....yeah....but £12m vs. £3.5m.... Lol!

The PL would have insurance, surely, for such an eventuality?

From Rockers post on pg55

They’ve just bought/are buying Werner, Ziyech, and Havertz, all for big money, and seemingly want a LB also. Can’t see Lampard splashing another big fee on a CB who they let go in the first place?
