He's an Ashley stooge so of course he'll keep his job.

Really good player. Couldn't afford him.

I'm not excited about Rondon but I can't help be excited by a new quick striker even if he doesn't have great numbers. And on top of that, he's a tireless worker which is great for us to press from the front. If Muto can continue to grow as a player he could be a perfect fit for us. I'd like to keep Gayle as a third option as well like. But Joselu will be here till the end of time in that role.

Surely he can't just take 50 million out of the TV money and give it to House of Fraser? That's got to be illegal. If not, then we need action in football. Not that the MP petition will go anywhere.

The last man who'll ever score in a derby for us. Or at least that's what we should be saying, unfortunately Ashley will have us down there with them soon enough for someone else to take that honour.

NO has him designated as a 10 despite never playing there.

Cant believe Palace and Burnley have just done no business at all. Have they forgot that the window closes early?

just praying we could atleast get him back in 2018

That's what I'm thinking, nowadays a cruciate can be week's? Wasn't his one at the start of last season a cruciate? "A while" is just vague as fuck and gives no info at all.

Urgh. Does this mean he's likely to miss 12 months?

No stream even on the site for me

If Lejuene's back he'll start. I assume Schar will move in front of Clark by then too. Think Muto will just be on the bench though.

I think Ashley is more likely to reject it and use it as an easy PR stunt to sort of say "Well Rafa's being unrealistic, I kept our captain despite very good offers."

Cheeky bid.

Ki's the best competition/3rd choice CM we've had for years.

Sounds like he might not get a work permit. Only us

Taylor was a much better player than Williamson.

Aye, nowt to do with his below-average goalscoring record in a worse league. Joselu's is worse over there but I don't see people suggesting he convert to a number 10.

So why cant he play up front? Is this a typical "He's small so he needs to be number 10" thing?

Doesn't sound very confirmed to me. Sounds like the type of thing that we'll hardball over trying to make perfect for us and collapse it over

because we're not signing anyone else who is going to take the #5 shirt, is the obvious answer, and none of the current are switching. I honestly thought Lejeune would take it.

He's been given a number straight away. Odd as usually we don't give them one till we announce the squad list.

I like the idea of having two players like Perez and Muto together. When Perez had Cabella with him when he first game in they played a lot of lovely one two's off each other before Pardew decided that was far too attacking and brought back Gouffran. I think they'll link up nicely as they both have clever movement.

There's no chance he can't leave without paying like, that's just bullshit. He could easily just stop turning up to work.

Let him gan if he's that desperate.
