He's a tricky bugger then this Kenedy. Let's get Richarlison as well and... you know I was heading towards some kind of Elton John/Watford 'Goodbye Norma Jean' and Kennedy (John not Robert) mash-up there. Doesn't quite work, so got off at Billy Mill instead.

Take your point. To me though, such an elaborate smokescreen would only really make sense if he felt he had something to lose (other than the obvious) by overtly choosing not to spend in the January window. What could he lose? He must be well aware he lost the good will of the fan base years ago.

Should have stayed confidential, but makes me mad enough to kill the callous cunt.

Go-Ho... He can drive go-karts quickly

Nice idea to get them doing something fun (prior to ‘going over the top’ on Saturday...). How the hell have they still got a time for Tino??

They are both very experienced negotiators. Backed by a team of others used to getting the best possible deal; by hook or by crook. He still wants to sell, she/they still want to buy. They can’t agree on a price. No change basically. In effect Ashley’s ‘message’, is just a public way of demonstrating he isn’t willing to accept what they’ve offered. Again, not new information. Only question for me, after Ashley’s ‘move’, is how much does she/they want this? Despite all the extensive number crunching, they will have done, it is that which will determine how much flex there is what they are willing to pay.

Does my f***ing head in. *Is with geordie* *mentions other geordie* 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA' Just f***ing die. Aye that and "whey aye man", Byker Grove, Geordie Shore. I used to entertain a chat about Brown Ale but then I stopped drinking, so that's out now too Have you found yourself becoming more offensive to young people??

George Graham, from memory, was possibly more defensively minded.

Not sure it would be kind or cruel to say no.

Ironic that in the end he created a team for the Championship, for the Premiership. To be fair Ibthink he cut his cloth according to what he could get. Some workout some don’t. It is ever thus unless you are buying from the very top shelf and even then some don’t work out.

Nuke Was supposed to say "Mike's" but we can stick with Nuke. Nuke Ashley. If only...

It's bad but it's not that bad.

Don't tell anyone, afar, but we're shape-shifters and even if our avatars become dead magpies (kenedys?), we'll still be pine martins (that corrected to martinis, might not be a bad idea...) underneath. Our day will come.

fingers crossed.

Keep it close at hand, Crumpy Fortunately/Unfortunately (delete as applicable) think you can stand down from Grindr chopper-watch, Quakes. On behalf of us all, thanks for all the hard... errr... work

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue Thinking of taking up both in excess tonight. Should it be red or white which best complements Evo Stick?

Yes. Tens of thousands. Depends.

Fairly standard negotiating tactic. If you're a callous affectionless c***. Ashley will be used to fronting up to posh boys (and girls). If it is a tactic here's hoping it works.

many a true word...

Given Ayoze’s recent form, I wouldn’t be too distraught to park the no.10 we’ve all been after since last Jan until the summer splurge (ha!) and focus on a goal scorer who can also hold the ball up. Chuck in a new central mid and a top keeper (perhaps at the end of his career) and job’s a barely adequate one. If we can shift Mitro or Gayle for decent money and perhaps Shelvey (if he’s not part of Rafa’s future team) then we could potentially buy a couple of replacements/improvements (hopefully) for decent money. Bas Dost has 19 in 18 league games for Sporting.

Via the comforting route of randomly entered results, and the welcome appearance of a non-specific transfer fund, I’m now down from 6 to 4.

Woah man! Something has happened. Is this (whatever ‘this’ really amounts to) genuine? Would this person know?

We’re about to get an up close and personal test of said gulf. Brace yersel, hinny!

Just seen extended highlights of the Swansea game for the first time. Following on from having watched him down at Stoke, he has had two really influential performances. Goal at The Etihad.
