The constant digs at us are pretty feeble attempts to remain relevant.

Too late on this one then? Class.

Probably 'cos they don't want to be banned by the club again.

He's travelling from Japan or Mainz?

By the sounds of it I don't think he's going to be the main striker, that'll probably be Rondon if he comes. Think Muto will play like a number 10. Happy with the signing at least, if not somewhat underwhelmed.

Seems to be happening at least if harbinger of doom Mr Ryder seems to think he's inbound.

£115k is great for both parties. Ashley gets to spend less, Charley gets paid far more than he's worth as he's completely unqualified. Similar to Pardew, he'll not get another job like it. Also waived his bonus though, which is interesting. Just find it very odd for such a high profile position he's being pretty severely underpaid, compared to his counterparts. There has to be something else going on? His counterparts are qualified to do the job though. Not saying everything's definitely above board because I wouldn't have a clue either way, but my perception is just the above really. He's getting paid more than he'll get anywhere else and Ashley's paying less than he would if he had to employ someone that's qualified. Been around at the club since the days of Shepherd though, and has been MD since 2014, so you'd have to argue he'd have experience. Just seems really odd to me that's all. As you say, probably just a lackey with no real power and is paid as such...

Charnley surely has to be being paid by some other (dodgy) means? A salary of £115K when the average is £1M+ in the PL?

Know nothing about him. Presumably a straight replacement for Mbemba and signed as cover?

Worn white socks at various points in our history, they're nothing new. I would've preferred black hoops or something though.

Excellent, finally. So that's three signings in without hardly a penny being spent.

Not that I believe it will, but it's not unheard of for these things to fall through, let's be honest. Hence the anxiety.

There has to be a reason they haven't announced it. If it was a done deal I'm sure they would have by now. Perhaps they're trying to agree a permanent signing on fee or clause. Do we know for certain he has travelled with the rest of the squad to Ireland?

Be interesting to see the renewal take-up figures when they're out, and if there's been any slowing in real terms. I expect it's probably remained the same.

£25m would probably do it imo, if we were to ever offer in that region. I think that would probably be a fair price.

They get their info from the club. Obviously the club lies and we know that, but the Chronicle just report what they are told. Aye, they don't make clickbait articles at all...

I'd still take it with a large pinch of salt. I don't think the Chron can be trusted particularly these days.

Ryder reckons Chelsea want £30m for Kenedy. If that's true we won't be signing him.

Someone needs to send this Jim Ratcliffe pictures of the bridges on twitter.

Pleased BT have got another 20. Refuse to pay for Sky and get BT Sport free.

They're national flags, all countries have them. They aren't racist symbols. All those racists attending the World Cup this summer, tut tut.

£45m is an awful lot of money, but the problem with any sale is I don't believe Rafa would be given the entirety of those funds to re-invest. The decision has to be made solely by the manager, for football reasons and not financial ones. There can't be a repeat of the Andy Carroll situation where players are sold out from underneath the manager. Rafa won't stand for it and would walk instantly.

I think it's pretty cool. Looks like a teamGB shirt or something though. Don't get the Union flag = EDL.

Can't say I've seen enough of Adam Traore to form an opinion, but assume this would be instead of rather than as well as Kenedy!?
