All that shite about selling Gordon to Liverpool was smoke and mirrors to get Brighton to up their offer. Like I said

£33m is decent for a kid who has never kicked a ball in one of Europe’s top leagues. Man City sold Cole Palmer because of these rules when they probably would have rather kept him. It’s shite but now we can hopefully get the cheque book out next month and avoid any points deductions

Doesn’t the £30m we need to find to balance the books include the money owed to Chelsea for Hall???

I’m sure this is the solution, as disappointing as it will be to lose a promising youngster who hasn’t played for us yet. Needs must. We can’t be flogging our top players who are proven at this level for this psr shite. It will be annoying if he turns out class for Brighton but it’s be easier to swallow than selling Gordon to Liverpool - I can’t see that happening at all.

Fuck me, is this joker still peddling his shite?

I’d rather keep Anderson and Minteh too but it looks like we’re going to be stiffed by these rules and you can only sell players people want to buy. As long as it isn’t one of Bruno, Isak or Gordon I think we’re going to have to suck it up. Is rarher not sell willock either but if a £30-40m bid came in (unlikely after an injury-hit season) you’d have to consider it

The Elanga/Anderson swap with forest makes perfect sense as does the DCL/ Minteh swap - clubs getting stiffed by the rules working together to navigate them. Selling the players the Saudis want to build the team around to (in the chairman’s words) take us to number one makes zero sense

I think we will sell a player or two before the end of the June cut off but there’s more chance of your Everton prediction coming in than us selling one of the Crown Jewels

the counter point to that is if we sell someone for £100m we get to splash the cash in the remainder of the window. I’d like to think the club will find a more creative solution and this is all noise

Talking sense for once. It’s wine and chicken tonight

I think it’s tactical. It’s so nonsensical - the idea that the richest owners in world football are forced to sell the best player to a league rival. It’s too ridiculous to take seriously. I’ll be appalled if it’s true. I think it’s almost certainly bullshit story designed to highlight how pathetic these rules are

that’s more like it. Value them both at £25m and were sorted aren’t we?

I’ll believe it when I see it. But the Saudis aren’t the type to be pushed around. This strikes me as tactical move to put more pressure on the PL to end the psr bullshit

it’s all smoke and mirrors. The Saudis know what they’re doing

We’re not selling Isak man. The Saudis aren’t going to be pushed around to that extent. They’ve played by the rules so far, but they’ll find a way to get past the June deadline thing, probably by flogging Minteh

the price of everything is fucked. Best part of £20 for a packet of snouts these days. You used to get 10 regal king size for a quid from my local corner shop. Or single tabs for 20p. Thank fuck I quit the bastards

wise decision. it's the one of the best things to come out in the past few years
