Sad to see him go. I feel like the Champions League would have been a platform he’d have arrived on but with progress of Anderson and Gordon we’re not short of cover there. Good luck Maxi the takeover probably wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t have saved us in those dark seasons.

£20m for Maguire is good money they’re mental.

What a fall off this guy has had. Looked certain to be a top player at one point. Given we’re light in the rw position I think it’d be worth rolling the dice on him for £4m too.

Quite enjoyed this Henderson transfer despite usually someone who stays away from any local rivalry craic. Mainly because he’s all of them. They’ve revelled in every achievement he’s had and taken some of it as their own over there for some reason. He then championed those rights and fucked straight off and took the Saudi money as soon as it was beneficial to him. He’s basically every one of them. All of those mongs that endlessly bleat on about sport washing on their holier than thou crusade would have been doing backflips if the PIF had taken over there. They won’t admit it as it ruins their narrative but their local hero has done the same as every single one of them would.

Which of our players tried to tackle him there? Edit* Absolutely no idea how I’ve managed to put this in the Miley thread. Apologies!

Good luck to him I hope he proves the doubters wrong - me being one of them.

Also if feels a long way from the low fee that was originally leaked doesn’t it

What an incredible start to a weekend

Maybe a slightly out there opinion but Hall could be the most significant signing of the summer if we could get him in. We’ve been desperate for a genuine threat from LB.

Lewis Hall would he an excellent addition for us.

£30m seems like a lot given his injury but a good signing nonetheless.

Hate to say it but you can’t not respect Villa for what they’re trying to do.

Makes too much sense.

Are Man City going to go mental in the second half of this window? They’ve lost a few players.

Not sure if posted before but just laughed at this

Does that actually matter in ffp terms? I’ve no idea.

I’m starting to sound like a broken record but given the state of transfer fees now €25m for ASM with his prime years ahead of him while he’s sat on a 3 year deal is all kinds of shit for us. He has one good season where some of his chances are converted and that fee is literally doubled. I know he’s got some haters but that isn’t a highly unlikely scenario either. We’re getting bumped here. To sign Harvey Barnes.

If that fee is as low as reported - some saying £25m - then I don’t think it’s unfair to question whether PIF’s project with us is now lower in the pecking order than the Saudi league.

£30m is a shite fee for him.

Agree with the sentiment. It won’t be Kvara but given what we’re losing it’s got to be re-invested with someone who’s going to significantly improve us as we don’t have a champions league ready squad.

If he does go to Saudi it better be for an astronomically high fee. PIF have bailed out a couple of teams in the Premier League so if it’s less than £50m I’d be disappointed. Neves was around that so it’s hardly out of the question - I’m sure the usual suspect journalists will cry foul play regardless.

I thought Pavard had dropped off really badly in the past couple of seasons?

That Dele Alli interview was rough. I knew there had to be something deeper to his fall off. Didn’t expect it to be that bad mind.

The fake Ornstein account got me on twitter for a minute this morning as I desperately searched for confirmation. I hate those people

Phone data was shite where I was at and it was taking ages loading pages.
