Gotta say everyone - after the tension on here the last few days that it’s good for us to have a banter on here and have a common foe

Jumpers for goalposts and a Russian goal keeper.

Trippier knows how to put Dubravka under pressure though as he done it so many times last season.

The only time Southgate takes chances is in the training ground with their murder bike games.

I think it is as well - the spiteful little twat in me half wants us to go out for him ignoring Gordon

Hyperthical spending or for real?

Agreed I was just trying to normalise it.

Tell me about it - I can’t believe we’ve sold a 19 year old winger whose got a years experience in Holland whose also home grown just because he sat on the bench as a third choice keeper.

Most clubs have prospects like this it’s just people on here getting excited as its new for us.

Considering the clubs - is that Everton or Brighton?

I wondered that yesterday when the rumours of Gordon floated.

no - we have other poisitions to think about i would imagine and Tonali coming back.

upon seeing Forrest's plight He packed his bags and took flight it doesn't take a boffin to see he'll stop nothing so we'll pack him off to Saudi in the night

It’s a quid.pro quo deal

There is other ways as well though - cutting down on outgoings, I know we have another year left on a lot of peoples contracts but we really need to get the likes of Fraser, Hayden and co off the books - maybe even just say to Man U “look you can have ashworth for 10m” as that also saves his wages and we can look for his replacement and tackle this with a full team.

What does that mean to us in a nutshell? Edit: never mind - just read your above post

Don’t think so - I read as it’s made up of three years that we posted something like -£70m then another -£70m so this season we had to bring that back to -£105m from what was -£140m which we’ve seemingly done if these deals go through. One of those -£70m will now drop off the radar now as it’s a running process. However we now move over to PSR and this is all for FFP so good knows what that means.

Yeah but you can’t buy buy buy and not sell sell sell - unfortunately nobody wants most of the dross we were left holding when the music stopped and Ashley left. We all knew it will be a long road to recovery and sacrifices would be made, this and Minteh to balance three years that seen us bring in the likes of Pope, Botman, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon and Isak and greatly improving players as well as more astute signing as well has been a great three year success for me personally.

All we can want is for every window we get in better than what’s going out, as cliche as it sounds but i believe Tonali will be like a new signing for us.

You say that but I’ve just read on local Liverpool site that we’ve now wet their appetite so they’re gonna return with a £53m plus keeper offer in a deal they not only think we’ll take as we’re desperate for a keeper it seems but they say the deals worth around £100m. The article also says that will suit them as they doesn’t know where this keeper fits in with them, what I take from it is they practically only rate Gordon the same as an unwanted keeper as the hard cash on offer is pretty much only their valuation of the keeper.

When the take over first went through this forum was full of people saying “all we want is people who try” well they did try and maybe tried too hard and spent too much in the process but I’m sure lessons have been learned. It’s hard for me to be too annoyed as we’ve had two top ten finishes back to back for the first time since god knows how long and I come down on the side that we never seen minteh play so I won’t miss what we never had and I’ve always said that it’s very important for us to start creating a revenue stream from trading like that. I just can’t believe how bitter some people have become so quickly towards them that all it’s took is the sale of of one prospect.

Now reporting Minteh sale alone isn’t enough and we need to sell another Will they ever leave us alone and pester another fucking club

Did they? The season before miggy had scored 11 goals and there was a lot of worldies in there. He just went back to norm this season.

We’ve never been that disorganised before, since the take over the term well oiled springs to mind to me.

So you’ve just ignored the signing of non prem players Bruno, isak and botman in that story. None of us have seen enough of Tonali yet so don’t close the score on him just yet. I’ve read in a few places that he’s looked amazing on the training ground and is raring to go.
