Well I'm sure this will make all the Minteh fans happy. If true we could be screwed.

If keeping a highly talented prospect rather than losing him to Europe rivals means we are screwed then let's keep getting screwed.

Where did I blame Minteh?

 

The supposition the club have been sat around doing nothing is silly.

 

What they have been doing, and quite rightly so, is trying to ensure we kept our best players. 

 

How on Earth they're supposed to anticipate Minteh turning down Lyon to go to Dyche's Everton, I will never know.

 

But no problem. If push comes to shove Isak or Bruno will go to a Prem rival. Just perfect.

 

bruno and Isak aren’t going anywhere and especially not because Minteh turned down Lyon.

you love a dig at people that hold a different view to you  counted a few already to do. It’s almost like you consider it an afont to you that people don’t agree with you. Bizzare behaviour 

 

It's a football forum with cheeky digs back and forth all the time.

 

You only say this when you see a dig that goes against something you said.

 

Stop it.

I hope not.

 

Next few days are going to be interesting to say the least.

Ferk. That's that plan screwed then. 

 

Was that interest in Olise genuine? Very weird to be talking of near-record signings if you are days off being forced into a fire sale.

Waiting until the 11th hour to meet your PSR obligations is on the club... That's not to say PSR is a fair construct. But we had the opportunity to turn a profit in January and get major wages off the books, with Trips happy to move to Bayern, and we turned it down.

 

Is it fair to be asking a teen eager to carve out a career to go play in a farmer's league where he'll be lost in a sea of mediocrity? I don't think so personally.

[Away Toon]

I'm with Minteh on this if it's true of course. The club have had months to come up with some dodgy sponsorship's or sell someone else. Who you ask? How about the one who signed for us knowing he was going to get banned. Someone in Italy would pay 30m or so for the idiot.

No I say it coz I’ve saw 3 examples of it today alone. It comes across that you perceive your opinion to be superior to everyone else. It’s all a bit pompous

The Olise transfer, if it happened, would have been pushed into next years accounts or done right at the end of this month whereby only a small amount of the transfer would have fallen into this year. We will still be able to make transfers after 1st July, the sale is just to ensure we haven't breached PSR in this current year. All starts again next week and you would assume we would have at least £50m to spend before player sales (hopefully more!).

Yeah, only some of the best young players have come through at Lyon.

 

But you know, never mind that. It's a farmers league after all.

Not particularly.

 

Several clubs have shifted players this week.

 

We allegedly agreed a fee for Miggy in January, he declined the move.

 

Minteh wanted to move to Everton, but we got a better offer from Lyon. It would have been daft not to explore it before taking the lesser offer.

The Lyon better offer thing is just a rumour isn’t it ? Pretty sure they have had financial problems for a while now.

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

We aren’t going to accept a lower offer from Everton and they have just confirmed Ndiaye from Marseille today too, so they’ve moved on to alternative targets within their price range. Has Luke's massive torrent of bollocks last week not taught anybody anything about media reports at this time of year?

What was the massive torrent of bollocks ?

I think it's been reported they made a better offer than Everton, but I doubt it was the rumoured £40 million.

 Look back a few pages on this thread. You know what I’m off to do something else, I’m giving up trying to be rational on here.

 

Believe the sky is falling if it makes you feel better. Personally, I think those within the club have a better handle on our situation than a load of journo's who have gotten very little right after the initial months post takeover.

[The Prophet]

Foot Mercato claiming he wants to join Marseille.

[Menace]

Giving them Minteh for what we paid for Bruno is insane business whichever way you look at it

What you on about ? I have no idea what Edwards said because I don’t tend to read his articles so thought I would ask.

Relax man. It's all worth discussing.

 

All part of the fun and back and forth.

I never had an issue with him turning them down 

 

I said we'd be screwed if so and the guys that want him to stay would be happy.

 

You got to read posts carefully man.
