If we sign Willock and Jetro Willems I'll be over the moon. A good window even by our miserable standard.

I honestly doubt we'll sign anyone. Maybe one loan deal, that'll be it. We should just write the season off now.

Why, however its paid installments or over a number of years, he'll still cost 40m at some point. Ok so is Nicolas Pepe at 72m better? Or haverts 72m, Pulisic 57m, Haller 45m, Ndombele 55m, Naby Keita 55m, Fred 53m, Wan Bisaka 50m. There's a host of players signed by clubs for ridiculous fees. However someone "signposts" a transfer fee as you put it, be it Joelinton at 40m or Pepe at 72m, someone will pay, and ASM is a super star, he's way better than 50m or under. My opinion he's a top four winger when fit. He would possibly struggle to get in City's side regularly or possibly Liverpool's (Jota can though), but have no issues playing or keeping a place in most other PL sides.

Yeah sure I get why anyone would go for him, it just would hurt if Rafa did, because it's a player I really dont want us to lose, and a manager I'd hoped wouldn't take our best asset away from us. But you're right about Bruce. If ASM wanted to leave though that would be totally different, because that would mean his heart isn't with us any more, but ASM has loved playing for us, and loves our fans, I'm sure he has missed the fans and is dying to play in front of us again.

He's easily in the top 20 players in the league for me. better than many wide players the top 6 have. The fact Son, and Sterling etc stand out is because they're scoring plenty of goals, ASM in a top side I don't think would struggle at all. He's a top level player. I'd stand by that valuation. There's far shitter players going for ridiculous fees.

If true about ASM, 50m valuation is a total joke,I think minimum 80m, he's in a very long contract and going off Joelinton being 40m it makes no sense. I'd actually be pissed at Rafa for going after our best player tbh.

I'm sure PIF are going to be pleased to hear this news. Please just go and purchase another club. End this fucking nightmare.

Should just write this thread off along with both takeover threads, Fucking none starters all of them.

I did actually also, based on age, etc, and probably the fact we had nothing here that was of much use at LB. But what I learned fast with Lewis is his positional play, he could be brilliant if he knew where to be when defending. Also he was coached by Daniel Farke who is head and shoulders more adventurous and tactically immense compared to Bruce. ??

Lemina is shite, let's stop pretending. Willock is the only Midfielder we need to focus on. Worry about dreg signings after. If anything we need fullbacks, the only club who have converted 2 wingers into fullbacks because were too fucking tight to go out and buy actual good fullbacks.

It's nothing to do with the PL if a takeover happens in the lower leagues. And for the EFL changing rules to support the Prem, that's cutting your nose of to spite your face. Would be thick of them after the big 6 shenanigans and breakaway league. It's not like the big 6 have signed deals to say they won't consider trying it again? Real/Juve/Barca etc are still very keen, and with Barca in Financial shit, it can only be a matter of time before these elite wankers have another stab. So in my opinion the EFL would be idiots to support the shit PL methods. Stick with their own rules.

The ODT in the champo would be a doddle, we've been there on two occasions and won it with literally no issues. Ashley could do what he always does and risk, he loves risk. But the likely hood is, we would lose someone like ASM as his fee would bankroll our promotion. I would stick my neck out and say Wilson would hang around, and a few others, so it's possible we could go down, sell up, and return at the first hurdle with fresh ownership, I'm sure theres fuck all the PL can do that way, not sure if that's how both Sheffield Utd and Villa handled there takeovers?

We simply need to just get relegated, and Ashley should agree a fee regardless of relegation, where they can purchase the club under EFL rules and just get this horror show over with.

If it fails, just wait for us to be relegated, and buy the club in the Championship. Less pissing about.

Has there been proof that the accounts were "England" fans posting racist posts on players Instagram? Until its investigated, and ISPs are traced, it's the usual blame game. Could literally have been anyone, even Italian fans posting.

Really like the Hull kit??

If it was just the Fun88 without the chinese text, then it wouldn't look that odd. Its that top text that makes it look like a number 4.

I see what you're getting at, or a (y)

They're looking much better in the official store. The collar looks a bit tight on Wilson buttoned right up, but it's still a major improvement on previous shirts.

I can't blame him, I can only blame the mugs that follow him. I'd be inclined to even say we shouldn't promote this shit on here either. But it'll fall on deaf ears.

Obviously never gonna live up to Brown Ale, but they're off to a good start. Lilac one reminds me of a sweet wrapper?

Then you'd expect it not to take weeks and weeks then? As Staveley said the process normally is 5/6weeks. So with all our documents already submitted, one would assume they could speed things up, (If they wished to).

Would it necessarily need to be a fresh ODT or can they speed things up by recycling any original papers etc. Its just a joke everything needs doing twice or fresh etc. I just want the PL to say what their issue is compromise like AS has said, and push this through in rapid time to just please all and put it to bed.

Burnley player

Here we go again.
