And I’m sure the owners and manager will be of the same opinion also, hence why if we’re still trying to progress the deal, that won’t be the current circumstance.

He’s just had pelvic surgery on Tuesday night. He’ll be fit for the start of the season, but depends on how his rehab goes. Seville are mad because France made him play and it aggravated the injury so they might lose out on the transfer this summer.

Agreed. But if we’re spending £40m on JWP, then there are other positions which are in greater need, rather than for a ‘squad’ player.

Yeah, he is…in the right system with the right players around him. I don’t think we’d benefit to the value of his large transfer fee though, if he was playing alongside Bruno and Big Joe. He wouldn’t bring enough to the pitch that wouldn’t already be covered by those two, other than set pieces.

Also valued Craig Bellamy heavily as coach and tried to keep him there- ultimately had to let him go because of homesickness/mental issues. I wouldn’t be surprised if he became part of the coaching setup again now that Kompany’s taken a job in the UK.

Had to have surgery on his pelvis last night- won’t be going anywhere very quickly. (but probably still quicker than Botman)

Half the premier league in fairness- Liverpool, West Ham, Wolves too.

Or maybe they played/signed him anyway, like the Mackems and their paedo- having had full disclosure of the available incriminating evidence. I personally feel that given the time scale and the fact he hasn’t been charged but is still being ‘investigated’ that it’ll eventually fizzle out. But who knows.

I know. But we hardly know it’s Botmans fault he hasn’t signed yet!

But the media have said it’s Lille asking for more cash- hardly Botman’s fault?

Doesn’t want to stay in Madrid due to lack of playing time, so being touted round any clubs that could pay him a big wage. His contract is up next summer so Madrid want him to sign an extension or get money for him this year.

Suitcase of cash to Milan for them to buy Bremer and not Botman

Pray for a resurrection

Aye…£272kpw apparently.

Slower than Bruce putting out the cones?

Wonder who’s slower…Botman or Bruno?

He’s on £20k pw. I hope we would be able to match that.

No one knows.

De Ligt / De Vrij / Timber also Ake

Especially when Staveley had said that he’d told her he wanted the move to us.

Hmmm…source is Puke. 8 year deal incoming.

Cool. (So long as he’s told us). Buh-byeeee. Next!!!

Probably some local individual sponsorship deal?

Missed six games with knee ligament injury. Another 3 with a bruise, and 3 with hamstring according to: https://www.transfermarkt.com/ismaila-sarr/verletzungen/spieler/410225

Vieira likes him and I think has gone to meet him, but he’s also been interesting Arsenal, West Ham and Everton too.
