Some are saying the fee for Wilson could be around 20m.. that would be sensational business if true

Wilson to Saudi will sort it.

Remember when Hayden gave that interview where he was bewildered at the thought of players having to move on for the club to progress. ”A lot of us have our kids in school here” Again another great lad who I have nothing but good vibes for.. but was just slow to pick up on the right time for leaving/knowing when the gig was up. I really hope Miggy isn’t the same.

They saw him first hand, don’t think it’s so much of a favour but he’s quite versatile and has a great engine. No great pace but that league is slower so might suit. Longstaff has always been under appreciated and also the first to take the slack when things aren’t going so well. I wouldn’t blame him for moving on but I can’t see him seeking it.. a home bird I’d imagine which makes the rumour fairly silly.

Cash is king I guess. It’s a bit of a sad end to his time here if this goes through but there’s just no way we can gamble on the amount of games he’ll be available for next season, if he’s fit I don’t think anyone disagrees that he’s an excellent forward.. If we get anywhere over 10m for him then great.

Good business but a shit sale, he’d have been very interesting on the right this season. We’ll never know now. Best of luck to him, I’ve a feeling he’s going to end up being a cult figure at one of the big clubs down the line.

Or we’re actually ok in terms of PSR but are playing the poor mouth so we’re not ripped off on some potential squad deals we’d like to commit to. The understanding was that all the new revenue kicks in from July, including CL revenue from last year.. so any question marks are solely limited to end of this month which we don’t seem to be actually doing anything about.

There’s a serious agenda happening in the press to unsettle our players.

No club should have to react to every piece of media bullshit but in our case there’s been so much of printed even in the last few days that someone should just put out a tweet or insta post to rubbish the claims.

That’s several bullshit articles Hope has put his name to in recent days.. blacklist the cunt. Not a chance that’s true.

Who woulda thunk it, the whole time he was posing as a premier league striker when deep deep inside there was this 13 year old teenage girl waiting to break out. Get rid asap 😂

Clickbait shite. He’s going nowhere.

so are you suggesting that was just a blip or that he’s turned to shit generally as a player? The latter is a hard thing to recover from.

Just seems like an awful lot of distraction in his life which has potential to derail his form for the coming season. Couldn’t give a fuck about what he does with England. Club always before country in my book. But at what point does that seep into the rest of the squad as a distraction? Either he sorts his shit out or he should move on. Am sure Howe is aware.

“Liverpool enquired about his situation”

If I remember correctly we were in the market for a player in January, but perhaps that would have depended on Almiron going to Saudi. He didn’t and we decided to wait until summer. But I vaguely remember Howe commenting on available funds and he said something to the effect of “there’s funds available for the right player at the right price - but it’s very hard to do a deal in January”

Inflation, everything has gone up including agents fees and wages. Much harder to do a deal now but they woukd be taking a punt that they will at least make a 50% profit on him after a season or two. If the reports are to be believed about our PSR position, I don’t think we have that luxury of waiting to see his value increase.

New agreement signed with BetMGM, if there is really a deficit of 25m to make up, it won’t cover it all but it would certainly give us the option to make up the difference by offloading a player with less value than what our star players or someone like Minteh would fetch. Wilson or Trippier leaving soon?

Agree with that fully but he’s absolutely more than fine to be part of the squad. We need an upgrade on that side but that should be at the expense of Miggy and not Murphy.

Hadn’t really noticed before but is he on the spectrum?

Growing = bank balance?

Love Jacob, and he’s extremely versatile.. does well at RB when there’s a crisis. Amazing attitude and one of the bright sparks in the dressing room. You don’t ever get rid of that. Honestly think he’s got a season or two where he gets double digits in goals.

Doesn’t seem like he’d go off somewhere without his kids though.

Unless Milan had some sort of Michael Clayton type character keeping tabs on all the players extra curricular activities, I just can’t see how Milan would have known. Gamblers are mostly very sly about covering their tracks. Now Milan being extremely apologetic over what happened, yes I can believe that and I can also believe they think they owe us the conversation to be respectful in any future discussions. We might have had some sort of legal recourse to claim compensation that we didn’t take the option on.. so yes, maybe they owe us one.. and yes maybe they are willing to entertain enquiries about players they don’t really want to sell and maybe they’ll be more fair with regards to a transfer fee, but that doesn’t come close to fraud.

I love the whole willing a transfer into existence. There’s at least 1 every summer. The level of player has quite obviously differed massively pre and post takeover. But it’s easy to spot a trend of us ogling holding midfielders. Maddison, Paqueta, William Carvalho, Andreas Samaris, Boubakary Soumare, Tammy Abraham.. that’s just off memory. 2015 was the summer where the signings took everyone by surprise and hopes were high, why oh why they gave McClaren that privilege is beyond me but water under the bridge at this stage.
