None of whom can make the calls required at present - Silverstone hasn’t managed a new deal in a year, either

It’s not either / or - this is sleeping at the wheel. It’s negligence - there currently isn’t a senior executive doing the day-to-day running of the club. It’s pathetic man.

He’s on about £120k apparently - we’d save over £5m pa in amortised fee on the books, so roughly £100k/pw before we even began any further offer

Perhaps, not sure on that one tbf

They are, but his fee would be reamortised, which would free up c.£100k per werk

All of our players have been bought to eventually be sold - I don’t think folks have been willing to accept it. Number of times I’ve read ‘X player will be with us for the next decade’. They won’t.

We could’ve offered him double his current contract with zero PSR issues arising. PSR isn’t what has caused this in terms of his contract.

You’re right, but that’s the risk - but I think once this happens the club will try to get the most possible and send him on his way I’m not even angry nor surprised by any of this - the current squad was never likely to be a long term one, and we bought players to flip them for big profit - but I’d have liked to see him in B&W for one more season. I’m confident we’ll spend the profit well - though that confidence is sapping daily

We don’t, and that’s the problem. We have the power to reduce a potential £150m asset into a -£15m or so one out of spite. So yes, we could get him rotting in the reserves, but that’s it - the club has little power once a player wants to go. It becomes a case of how much can you get for him?

Guehi didn’t pressure Palace to leave

Wouldn’t have thought so, but money might talk, especially if YAR loves him so much. He’d be the perfect ‘face’ for the Pro League.

Fair enough Won’t happen of course - the club will need the money

People understand the rules - now fuck off back to the Liverpool forum

And what possible use does that serve?

100% - and the whole ‘£150m+ or fuck off’ position is now completely meaningless if true We’ll do well to get £130m, unless a KSA club comes in

This possibly still happens without PSR

Because he’s a professional footballer looking after his own informed self-interest? If he’d been shite for us there’d have been folks wanting him to take a pay cut to go. It cuts both ways. Anyone who thinks that any player who signs for a club has genuine deep-felt emotion for the club needs a good shake. They’re all ‘mercenary’ to a degree - as would any of us be.

PL rules E55-E76 tell me you’re wrong, lads

With the greatest respect possible - it’s delusion at this point

Howe’s comments and missing trips through a niggle isn’t exactly building confidence that you’re right - experience in football tells us a rabbit is off. You don’t risk or take footballers away who you’re about to sell

Nope. Adidas aren’t a related party, they could’ve offered anything they wanted.

Rotting in the reserves serves no-one - our hand is fucked.

Completely wrong

Not now he isn’t by the sounds of it We’ve had plenty of time - I’ve experienced in my day job, you get a job offer, inform your current employer you’re taking it and they suddenly offer you better terms. My response is: go fuck yourselves, you should’ve paid me that in the first place No reason Isak should be any different The blame lies squarely with the club’s senior management and our absentee landlords

He’s on less than Joelinton. Toys out the pram seem reasonable to me.
