Aye, all the "we talk but it'll remain private" was gone and he positively bristled when he was asked if he'd told the rat "you can leave if we get a replacement" he actually had to catch himself before he said "absolutely not", very un-Eddie like, he was mad.

We cleared nigh on £140 Mill (fee and avoided bonuses), £125 Mill is the scouse propaganda version.

Bottom line, the club are not going to do anything that Eddie isn't 100% on board with, there's no CEO or MD to overrule him, there's only Eddie when it comes to the players. His demeanour towards the snake had really changed in his last PC, I reckon it's nailed on he wanted him gone.

Even Ornstein alluded to that as he said deal worth more to us than Liverpool paid. Everyone's biting on the scouse tinted press version. On the bright side it is highlighting the forum big babies.

They had a couple of good loans in, didn't they ??

Wait, what !!! Has Rayvin got a strong attachment to radiators ???

Best scenario, we get another striker, Liverpool low ball again and we tell them to fuck off.

They can tell him anything they like, and no doubt have told him exactly how they're playing it and "it'll be fine" as they screw us over, or hopefully they have cut him adrift. I suspect they've mistaken our resolve/conditions as we're bluffing, which I sincerely hope we're not.

The murderers will have told him exactly how it’ll play out (unless they’ve shat on him) so it’s 50/50 shitting or chilled as fuck.

Same agent as the rat.

If it was Saudi it needs to be to a non-PIF owned club for us to bank it within UEFA rules though.

Nailed on (+ guaranteed lowball) and I still hope we tell them to fuck off.

The two cases are incomparable IMO Case A: Players ducks friendlies with injury (in "pain" but scans clear) Player ducks tour with aforesaid injury Player fucks off to train in Spain without permission. Media circus ensues (probably a directed circus) Player states want's to explore options. Media circus intensifies. Player states via 3rd parties wants to leave for Liverpool. Liverpool lowball offer. Player goes on strike. Player issues me, me, me, statement. Case B: Player comes to understanding with club (evidenced in writing allegedly) to explore options. Player identifies new club and club makes "fair" offer. Brentford reject offer/raise price. Player throws toys from pram and quits training camp. Further offer received/rebuffed and Brentford state nothing possible until replacement sourced. Player resumes training with team. Replacement acquired. Further offer made - rebuffed because "oh we didn't mean THAT replacement". Player still training. Brentford quote thoroughly ridiculous asking price. Player still training. Player issues respectful (to club and fans) and detailed statement. Just utterly incomparable, player shits on a club v club shits on player.

I would think the "reasonable offer" bit is what they'll hide behind, their interpretation of that may be £65 Mill, but I doubt anyone else on the planet would agree !!!

This, he had our only two shots that worked the keeper, played a couple of nice crosses in too (no-one there obviously) and didn't give the ball away any more than a few others.

Big Nick'll be sneaking off back to Stuttgart

Agree with KCG about going back to 4-3-3 as well

He's been one of our better ones up front IMO Bruno's been dire.

This shape ain't working

Cuhna crocked, not a serious one though. Manc goal spawny as fuck, header off the bar hits defender 3 yards out ricochets back into the goal, Dubz palms it out (good save) but it was over the line.

They're hoping we have to sell and we go cap in hand, the cunts.

The murderers will bid lowball and late, hoping we've spent on the basis cash for the rat is coming in, which I don't believe we have btw. I hope we tell them to fuck off.

No idea on number of attempts but he made one successful one that we know of.

Fax machine, the way some go on you'd think we use:
