ExiledGeordie Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Not done until it’s done but clearly fairly concrete sources and seems like it might be a matter of haggling over price. Fingers crossed, be a great signing, can see Howe really improving him again too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 So far Steinberg, Law and Romano have all reported it's advanced. Downie thinks it's at the early stages. Sounds like both sides are breifing different stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashworth ring them up and say "I like him teehee" then hang up before they can respond on the other end and giggle together with Howe and Eales who's sat next to him. Probably still about 2 weeks away from building up the courage to ask Barnes if he wants to go steady with us. Edited July 9, 2023 by Conjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd picture a call saying "we offer you 100 billion quid". Be quite dramatic. After some thought you are probably closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Philadelphia 76ers and a General Manager they had about a decade ago. The process was multiple years of blatant tanking to collect top draft picks.
