Is will be the £25m offer. We'll have made it after finding out about the £27m one.
"We tried."
That'll be our new thing. Pay some agent twat £2m to find out who has bid for certain players so we can go in below.
And the club'll be absolutely gutted if it's accepted.
Ritchie never takes on his man, doesn't run at the defender whilst Townsend does. But Ritchie's good and bad form was synonymous with the team's last season. Started well, awful November-December, picked up from January to the end of the season.
Aye, fat chance of that happening. Probably just telling SSN we're interested. We tried, we were interested but we just couldn't meet on financial terms after our bid of £9m.
He's probably my first choice out of the ones we've been linked with. Getting carried away here probably but potentially:
King
Kenedy New #10/Perez Townsend
With Shelvey pinging balls from behind. That looks well decent.
Who are we potentially looking at for strikers? I'd personally take one of Josh King or Moussa Dembele, even though we haven't been linked with the latter. Don't really want Ings, but he's probably better than what we have. Rafa'll probably work his magic and get someone we haven't really heard of from abroad.
This apparent meeting he had with the hierarchy must've cleared the logjam a tad I assume: Ki, the Townsend, Kenedy and to a lesser extent Sturaro links gathering a bit of pace. Absolutely ridiculous he had to come back and tell the club to start signing players instead of them just doing it of their own accord. But y'knar.
