It s being drawn out by the club so we don't start demanding further signings.

I think Ashley agreeing we can break our previous transfer record has been taken put of context. He means we can spend up to £20m on all 3 players that rafa wants so we've got Kenedy on a loan fee next is the keeper for around £2.5m loan to buy fee leaving around £14m for a striker hence our bid for Jorgansen being well short of the required £20m. It's not going to happen unless feyenoord cave on and take the £14m.o

We should all wrote to the FA complaining that Ashley isn't a fit and proper person to own an EPL club because he doesn't allow us to compete which he plainly doesn't.

We all know we won't be buying him. If we have offered eu14m then that's what we value him at. If it's rejected then Charnley moves on to the 2nd choice on Rafas list. We dont haggle over prices.

Apparently we have a bid from Brighton for Mitr o on the table. It may be that Jorgenson is Mitros replacement and we are also bringing in a £20m striker identity currently unknown...... Dream on!

Could do with swapping Gayle for Cairney

Jonas at Benfica looks useful. Scored 23 goals already this season Willian Jose only has 9 goals.

Exhausting frustrating and a complete waste of time. In other words he met his match in Amanda Staveley.

It may well be that Amanda wants us relegated so the price drops dramatically. She can then give Rafa the £100m she has saved to get us back up.....yet again and then we can reinvest prior to our return to the epl.

The Staveley Arms is in north Stainley near Ripon Is that where she lives? Theres a boozer in Ripon named after her family. Must be her turn to buy the bait!! Just hope it aint got a fireplace.

Imagine the queues waiting jump off the tyne bridge if our new owner turned out to be JFK???

I'm sure I read somewhere last season that Watford slapped a transfer fee of £35m on Sweeney.

In west ham game Joselu bust a gut to get up in support of the counter attack and it was his square ball into Atsu that led to the third goal so he certainly does contribute.

The journo are rubbishing this so they can vlaim there exclusive when the deal is finalised

Would like to see is try for Danny Welbeck on loan. He isn't starting for Arsenal and with the world cup this year he needs to be playing regular football.

I'm of the view that rafas tactics just don't work with the players at his disposal but he seems to think he can make a silk purse out of a sows ear. He needs to play to players strengths rather than stickinog round pegs in to square holes.

Just a thought but I wonder whether Amanda wants us relegated so she can buy us on the cheap. It would tie in with her relegation clause so she eother gets us cheap and bankrplls is in jan or lets Ashley relegate us and get us on the cheap and uses the dosh she saves to bankroll uz getying back to the prem.

I agree. Been to all the big cities all over this country and never felt under threat day or night..... but 2 weeks in Liverpool.....!

Why can't we agree transfers before Jan. Liverpool have agreed deal for van dijk and Everton have agreed deal to sign cenk to sun. We don't even seem to start looking for players until the window opens.

Ashley said he would only sell to someone who could invest in the team the sort of money he can't put in.

There isn't a shred of hard evidence to support any of these fanciful transfer rumours yet everyone is completely caught up in the furore of these unsubstantiated rumours. It happens every transfer window and we know none of these rumours will come to fruition..

If the club doesn't bring in reinforcements in the first week of January fans should stop going. There's nothing like empty seats to focus Ashley's mind. No one will buy a club with falling attendances.

Maybe we need colback in midfield

Just missed out on the toon v heed.

Can't see us signing anyone in january unless we sell players and no one wanted any of our players in the summer.
