OTF

If the offer is £100m it's a very easy no. If they want him they need to pay what he's worth plus additional to allow for the fact he still has 3 years on his contract. As noted by others he can't afford to have a strop.

He signed the contract, not Darwin Nunez. He's handsomely paid and the club are planning to improve on that (based on Murphy constantly setting him up and others winning penalties for him ;)). If he stayed in Spain who knows how he will have developed and what exposure he would have received. It's hard to fathom any other situation where he will have improved his goal scoring more markedly. The year prior to us buying him he scored 6 league goals and contributed 2 assists. The year before that was his first year breaking double figures. Coming here he would have massively increased his salary from what Sociedad were paying.

Noone had ever heard of this Sesko kid until we opened negotiations ... it's true though, and it's fucking shit, let us do the hard work to convince the current club to sell the player then all you have to do is come swanning in with either a higher offer to the club or higher wage to the player and they're very likely to join. Though looking at Man Utd and us, they're not in Europe, finished in a shit position in the league, have a manager who threw his own players under the bus, fans and staff who hate the owners, a lot more forward options on the books. If you take the money out of it we're the better option for his development but you unfortunately can't take it out.

That's hilarious.

One of the highlights for me was the commentator noting our superior "possession accuracy". Honestly though that was a good run out for us.

Yeah it wasn't terrible, and he's looked lively. Just was more about blasting it than placing it and as a result it was straight at the keeper.

Allegedly 40,000 in the crowd.

This has been a fun watch, in a couple of games hopefully we'll have an idea what our first 11 will be versus Villa.

No, you're wrong again.

No penalty shoot out for us. Soft as fuck that was, but who cares.

You may be right but it will be hard to know for sure in the black shorts.

I hope he gets a fair amount of time on the pitch, he looks to be doing all the right things, making runs, using his size, pressing etc and has made some tidy passes as well.

The long awaited return of John Ruddy, getting a strong buzz from the crowd who won't forget this moment.

Great cross Murphy, desperately close for Osula.

On the hat trick

The crowd would be noisy in parts (where the mics are), it's just a shit stadium for acoustics because it's a multi-purpose oval. Can hear the toon fans.

Murphy!!

Havertz must know his minutes are going to be very limited with their new arrival.

Either you're about adding the coffers or you're not.

Miley showing his quality with some nice interplay with Joelinton and then a defense splitting pass.

The annals of time will forever show that Bruno won the free kick.

It'd be a fixed fee from the promoters, then up to them to recoup it through sales. So iy wouldn't make a difference to us if it was packed the gills or empty.

Whole outfield team swapout except striker of course because we only have one of them in the senior team.

The half time de-hype man did a fabulous job.
