You understand how betting markets work, aye?

He’s only going this summer if we get absolutely ridiculous money. £120m next year might get a deal done, but right now it’s nowhere near.

Never go to a souk with anyone from N-O.

Yes you are. This is a completely original point that literally no one has expressed.

I wouldn’t read anything into ‘not close’. It could mean we’re nowhere near on the fee but it could mean that the deal is in its very early stages. I think the best way to interpret it is not to expect a ‘HERE WE GO’ in the next day or two.

How?

It’s the days of catastrophising on here about the deal being hijacked when we take ages to confirm it that I’m looking forward to.

I resent the suggestion that I was middle aged.

Everyone the proper way to notify the world of a release clause is have Harry Redknapp mouth off in a press conference.

My phone repeatedly tries to autocorrect his name to Skittles.

Ashley was wearing a shirt with Coloccini on the back about a week before we officially announced it.

Do we have anyone who fits the ‘locally grown player’ quota for the CL besides Longstaff? I think he’s worth much more to us than Leeds are willing to pay on that basis alone.

I could actually see us go for Ekitike and gamble that we get huge fee for Isak next summer. Makes more sense for us to have some sort of succession plan than end up scrambling around getting quoted daft prices for lesser players if/when Isak goes.

Keith Downie with the long lens.

Isn’t Sanga the fella off Cool Runnings?

This time last year I was worried about losing him, now I’m utterly convinced he’ll stay here for the rest of his career.

Impossible. We haven’t approached it like a trolley dash, so it’ll be shit.

Leeds are similar. A non-entity for most of their existence outside of the Revie era.

I’m sure we come across as entire sane and reasonable to other supporters.

Bang average. The fascination some have with him confuses the fuck out of me.

I’d love to know who his sources close to the club are now. Probably beatboxing Spider-Man.

Having Pedro would open up quite a few tactical options as well as allowing us to rotate. He could work in our existing 433, gives us the opportunity to play 4231 or go two up top. I can see why he’s such an attractive signing. He solves a lot of potential problems.

Liking the thirst traps they’ve been posting on Instagram. Expect things to ramp up in the coming days with a follow, however sliding into their DMs is not ‘imminent’ according to my sources.

Be pretty erect if that was our team sheet against Villa ngl

Something a bit different = a lad from a abroad with a YouTube highlights reel set to the worst music you’ve ever heard.
