Well a little negotiation is recuired if we want to make smart purchases. Have to be prepared to leave the table. And yes they are enforeable.

How long contract did he have left? 1y +1y option? If so they kinda need to sell this year to be sure to get alot of money then. If Mbeumo really wants to come here im sure we can work out a deal that is reasonable.

Its a good deal given his age, but also a huge loss for them next season. Clearly their best player, although that doesnt say much.

Because thats never the case with transfer rumours?

Based on?

How is it obvious when its Howe who brought him in and kept him as #1 for 3 years? Wouldn't mind someone better with the feets myself.

Rather want someone like Miley and possibly other young talents in then. Longstaff needs time to build up his confidence before he is of any use based on previous experience. Pretty useless when he comes on for some minutes or a game here and there.

God forbid something happens to Tonali or Bruno. But considering that Eddie even changed formations to avoid using one of our backup CMs I think he is probably well aware of the need we have of more quality depth there.

So Tonali likes Longstaff as a person and tries to build up his confidence. Nice of him, but other than that not that interesting.

In terms of importance I guess noone will ever top Kevin Keegan if its true that he literally saved the club. Other than that I've decided not to compare them. What both have done is nothing but extraordinary. Forever legends both of them.

Hey, if they dont want to come here because they would rather be in a bigger city with better nightlife I'm thinking we are maybe dodging a few bullets.

Remember that next season we will get rid of the 22/23 season were we had a loss of over £70m. With CL (and sales of Kelly and Almiron) im confident that we have a lot of room to operate in PSR wise.

Think that is pretty much the case today. The leaked budgets are rarely right.

Think we can just ignore any reports of what our budget is this summer. The few ones who actually know wont let that information get out.

Well they might have leaked it, but even then its probably not true. Just a way to not let the market know what we are working with.
