Even times where he thinks he has a tap in he ends up looking stupid. Takeover goes through and every day that week Burnsie is like 'have it on good authority Bruce is packing up and saying his goodbyes right now'.... Bruce ended up staying on for a good week past that. To be fair - it would take a while to pick up all those crisp packets and Greggs wrappers.

Unless it’s Fabrizio the tap-in merchant slapping a ‘Here we go’ on it, I’m not buying. Fully expecting the slapheeded fraud Edwards to come steaming in with a denial.

Generally if any of the locals (Hope, Waugh, Downie) are reporting something is done it's a good sign. They're slow, but reliable.

I tend to think Fab and Ornstein and Athletic in general are the favoured source of a lot of clubs as they both tend to just present news or deals without journalistic spin or hyperbole.

I think Liverpool had this sorted a long time ago that nobody else had a look in ... A bit like the young lad from Fulham the year before. Both benefitting from lower transfer release clauses then their true market value (you wonder if the agent tipped them off) and then I guess Liverpool / Klopp do still have a massive pull for a lot of players.

It's just another example of how they are a really smartly run club. As an emerging player this must be a major draw. If Leicester really are asking for £60 million for Madison consider how that approach differs. They won't get that, it'll drag on so they can't buy to replace and people who they might buy will be questioning if it is a good idea to go there as they too might end up trapped.

Yorkie Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I've a feeling this saga might be over quite soon. Leicester's bargaining position is about as weak as it gets, imo: the player wants to leave; everyone knows he's going to leave; he's only got one year left; they're in desperate need of revenue; and they're an EFL club. The fee will only get smaller the deeper we go into the window; but us and Spurs can afford to pay a little bit more in June, moreso than Leicester can afford to accept a greatly reduced price in August. Spurs need the good news, and NUFC has a manager who's earned the right for his board to deliver early signings. On balance, it's in all parties' interests to get this done sooner rather than later, so I think there'll be a fee agreed soon. Then it's a case of Postecoglou's oration vs Eddie Howe's intensity.
