Medical passed and fitness proved. Signing a one year pay as you play deal so a real upgrade on Joselu. Why spend money that could used to bring in anotjer player with the saving on a transfer fee. A good bit of business as far as I'm concerned.

Well pleased if we sign Carroll. When he did play at West Ham he always looked like scoring. He's a real threat from free kicks and corners.

The express and the mail, both Manchester based wont let the Sean Longstaff story go. The keep reporting that Man U will try to get him today, despite Bruce and Ashley stating he is simply not for sale, and are now reporting that if Man U don't get him now (for £50m) they will have to pay £70m next summer. I say that if Manu are prepared to pay £50m for him today, he will be worth double that if he has an injury free season with us and also gets an England call up. Hopefully Ashley will agree if they come back in with a £50m bid today.

If we have modicum of common sense we should offer him a massive pay rise with a £150m buy out clause. That's how highly I rate Longstaff and I remember going to reserve games way back when and suggesting to my mates that reserve team players Waddle, Beardsley and Gascoigne would play for England one day....they all ridiculed me but I was proved absolutely right a few years later

Here we go Nufc disappointed Hoffenhiem have made out interest in joelinton public which will draw in other clubs interested in him. We just couldn't match the offers from clubs in the 4th division of the norwegian league who are so much bigger than us.

Not particularly impressed with only 11 goals last season in the Bundesliga. Great if he can replicate that number in the EPL but not holding my breath.

It's clearly a case of bzg expressing an interest and the fat twat encouraging them whilst never intending to sell but using the interest as a cover for letting raga go and not buying any players

If the fat cunt sells Longstaff that's it for me. If they genuinely wanted to keep him they would have quoted a minimum of £100m transfer fee. If he goes for £50m we will live to regret it massively. I would happily ^^^^^^ the fat cunt if i got the chance!!!

Seems to me this appointment is taking into account Bruce's proven record of getting clubs promoted to the EPL from the Championship, so it looks like they are planning for the inevitable relegation this season!

Allardyce turned it down because Ashley probably stipulated that if he took the job he would have to hand over the deeds to the villa he bought with the £4m compo he got when he was sacked.

Lamb and mint sauce. This. Giving your age away though. These came out in the late 1970's ... I'm 29 That's because they re-released the flavour 2 or 3 years ago. Think it was a Walkers promotion to see what was everyone's favourite of the discontinued flavours...or something like that.

It's perfectly clear that as the players finished 10th and 13th fatso thinks all he has to do is hire an average coach and the current squad will keep us in the epl I reckon fatso decoded to bin rafa the minute he said it would take a miracle to avoid relegation with last season's squad. The fact we survived with relative ease in the end was probably another nail in Rafas coffin .

3someone just message BZG and tell them to stump up the readies or pull out of the deal and let us return to a semblance of normal life.

Its great that so many have cancelled but I have one reservation. Knowing how vindictive the fat get is, he will simply sell of the crown jewels to offset the loss to ST revenue.

You've got that the wrong way round. SD is bigger and more profitable than NUFC and SD doesn't have anything akin to relegation threatening to slash its revenues in the space of a couple of months. To put the supposed asking price of £350m into context, that's roughly the operating cashflow of SD over the last 12 months. SD has had £100m worth of free advertising from us, that's got to have affected where the value of the company is at and shows the value of NUFC to SD. Also, I was talking more about all his other businesses than SD, the ones which are loss-making. SD is his baby, I know he sold shares in it years back to raise money, but that's the heart and soul of his empire. It'll be the last thing he permanently gets rid of. We have to remember that when he floated ST on the stock exchange he made about £2b and then the shares nosedive and it was thought that he caused the crash and the city vilified him. Two years later he bought the shares back at rock bottom price and returned SD to private ownership. Another example of how manipulative he is.

This has dragged on so long now I just can't see it happening.

The club verified their statement was accurate via the chronicle Just because the club confirmed the BZG statement was accurate doesn't mean Fatso had any real intention of selling.

Its obvious this takeover was never going to happen, but surely the reason there was "no comment" from the club was that any statement that BZG were timewasters would have a detrimental impact on the sale of season tickets. Keeping fans hanging on thinking the club was going to be sold meant many fans would happily renew their ST Of course this was all based on their assumption that Rafa would toe the line and sign his new contract.

Almost 2pm in Dubai so not expecting to see a statement issued today

I see Quique Flores Sanchez has just resigned from his Chinese club. Our next manager?

We all know that Ashley will be allowing Leicester to pay the £30m over the next 5 years with the first £6m not due until next summer, so that we will have to fund his replacement out of the "£50m" transfer budget.

This is just confirmation that if there ever was a takeover it's dead in the water knowing BZG will have done all the numbers on all the players contracts and advertising rights for said players, so I would have thought there would be a freeze on selling club assets.

But back when Keegan left his family received threats of violence from some of our more moronic fans hence the current state of affairs of the fcb simply ensuring survival in the epl and treating the club as a cash cow.

Is an owner allowed to bet on football matches? I wonder whether fat ash is raking in millions by making sure the club are ripe for relegation then placing huge bets that they will avoid relegation. It is clear the bookies wouldn't now take that type of bet with Rafa as manager. Just speculating but we all know the waste of space loves to gamble.
