Another striker is an absolute must

Can't wait to miss out on him

Apparently he's a left footed RW who likes to cut in

Don't think they are being unreasonable asking for £16m

Wish we'd hurry up getting the likes of Hanley etc out the the door. Might give Rafa some room

Is he a LW?

I think we'll have a few things to say about that like.

Edwards changes his tune from one minute to the next

The s*** storm is going to be beautiful

Or we could try negotiating a realistic price. We offered £8m, they want £16m. Somewhere in the middle would probably get the player. If we were serious. Pretty sure we'd be able to get him for £10-£13m. Is that our problem though? A club potentially names a price a deal will get done at. Despite there being the most money there has ever in the PL and at the risk of our world class manager being extremely unhappy we'd rather f*** about for the sake of 3/4 million to get the "best deal". We p*ss about and get no one

There we have it. Will miss him

Norwich apparently want £16 million for Murphy, scratch that one off

Nolan was tough and what he lacked in mobility he made up with his positioning in key areas, stiff breeze would blow De Jong over

Getting desperate when people are trying to convince themselves this bloke is a viable option for this season

Chelsea, jesus

Might just go cold turkey on NUFC news, enjoy the rest of the summer and hope everything turns out fine

Hasn't Traore been ruled out? Boro want £15 million

What stage is stepping up talks? The one after just talks? Are we finanlising yet

So who are we in pole postition for? Have we leapfrogged to the front of the queue for anyone? Or are we leading the chasing pack?

Hart and Navas? Utter nonsense

Unfortunately the article doesn't say anything of the sort

We've brought our January transfer window strategy forward to this summer by the looks of it, no value, powder dry

Had a terrible loan spell at York according to the Ronnie gill

Feel like something bad is happening at the club and we are about to receive an absolutely massive kick in the teeth before pre season has even started. I remember this time 12 months ago reading quotes from Rafa re signings, he sounded calm and reiterated that the club were waiting for chairman and CEO's to return off holiday then signings were a go. He was also quoted when we were close to doing things, this year it's been complete silence. Clearly Rafa has been pushing for things to happen and the club have failed massively, or even worse they have been telling him lies about budgets, players being targeted etc. HMRC, this new Ashley troubleshooter, Charnley, Carr going, reports of Rafa being hugely frustrated. Whatever it is I fear a massive Ashley spanner in the works is on its way. Things were going far too well.

For F*CKS sake man. Shades of summer 2008
