I get it, but if they’re a nothing club why do you hate them so much?  I don’t hate Man City any more because they really are a nothing club to me now.

Anger doesn’t have to be rational Leffe. We’ve been jilted at the altar by the bride’s dad!

Mitchell wasn't there when we bid for olise and hasn't been in English football for a while. 

But you saying there not howe targets  is baseless aswell. 

I’m saying they are the decision of a transfer committee. As it’s been reported that that is how the club operates. You seem to be making it up as you go along. 

[Shadow Puppets]

For what it’s worth (and I know I’m opening myself up for pelters if it doesn’t happen 😂), I’ve just spoken to one of my usual contacts and he’s still adamant that Guehi will sign this week, regardless of being cup tied. I must admit though, I’m starting to doubt it will happen personally, but confidence is still high 🤷‍♂️

 

Don’t shoot the messenger, eh 😁

As things stand it's been a shit window

 

3 more days to see if that changes 

 

It's made Eales and Mitchell look like a right bag of spoons so far. I'm not bothered by Guehi, I'd have walked as soon as Palace started pissing about and asking for anything over £50m, while Parish talked his bollocks publicly. If we don't already have alternatives lined up to go for prior to deadline day then we've been no better than we used to under Ashley as far as transfers are concerned for this window... bit embarrassing really for the Saudis and their project imo.

Nothing will happen

Can't see him playing 90 min and coming to us now unfortunately.

You ever asked why they're so adamant?

Cos they are going to offer 80 mil 

[Yorkie]

I can't see his being cup tied being a big deal. Annoying but it'd be weirdly and uncharacteristically short-termist of us if we walked away on that basis.

And then until January, and then until the end of the season, and then until we sell Isak, Bruno and Gordon. Only then will be know if we were wrong to not strengthen in this window, right?

 

Why are you so against the idea (forming a judgement later)? I can absolutely recommend coming around to the way of thinking because it makes for a much less stressful transfer window.

We should move on...they didn't take our offers seriously...enough is enough.

I agree with it in principle, but where does it stop? When can we actually start judging the club on the fact we’re still having to play Jacob Murphy on the right wing?

Because the player wants to join (100%), and when negotiations go this deep they very rarely fall apart.

Has to be said, if we end up offering more than the asking price I might join in some of the chorus re Mitchell  

[Tiresias]

I can't believe we didn't walk away ages ago tbh even if we get him every other negotiation we do the other side will be in no rush and always assume can ring another £10m out of us

Even offering the asking price now would be a bad look.

They probably don’t want this kind of signing in the first place.

I lived in Muswell Hill for years, always liked Famous Royal Oak on st James lane. Watched toon beat the Arse 3-1 at Highbury in the old O’neills 

 

 

 

Road oak was a great pub and lovely father and daughter owners, many a full summers day there and I was probably watching that match in there as well lol.

 

 You used to occasionally get the five live sports blonde Geordie lass in there watching the matches as well, she was actually dead sound.

If the lad is that desperate to join he could hand a transfer request …

How close to the deal is your source ?

I can see how long term it could hurt us - every club will call our bluff.  But we’ll see.

At this point any fee of more than £65m is going to feel like he's had his pants pulled down. Feels like we've put all our eggs in one basket and doesn't seem any other option but to bend down and lube up at this stage.

If you’ve ever heard him speak, he’s too much of a pro to do that.
