Minus points for no "WALK AWAY!#£#" and "I'm bored of this; close thread!11"
Just get it done
Yet they didn't do that for Haaland he was a 51 million pounds bargain who is apparently playing for free and no agent fees or bonuses at all
Meh.
Would have been an exciting tweet at one stage but you just know journos are trying to fill the empty space when it comes to reporting on our transfers now. They have nothing.
No problems.
Many of the sources are from Spain, which is unusual as they have been adamant he won’t move to United. Questions of reliability though.
The key one is Van der Kraan though who is a Dutch football expert that works for Sky Sports. He’s got links throughout Dutch football and is reliable. He’s been consistent in his opinion throughout also.
I'm not belittling the work done by other clubs but they are able to get the job done. Chelsea were in a worse state than us(ownership wise , they had a good manager and a good squad), no one knew who the owners were going to be. They even missed renewing a world class CB due to that uncertainty. Their new owners cleaned house the moment they took over, they managed to sign Koulibaly, Sterling etc. with minimal fuss. They are trying desperately for another CB but they at least managed to sign one world class CB before their season started. I'll grant that they are in the CL, have a good manager but we can't even get one midfielder when everyone in the world knew 2 years ago that we needed a creative CM.
Kaveh, is that you? Or should I say: "Kaveh..... is..... THAT... You?"
He seems to want to play at the highest level which we are a couple of years off. What's stopping him thinking why is he wasting his prime here.
I'm not worried about the cost. If he willing to play for us then I'm okay with it. But he seems reluctant to join us. I want players who want to play for us, who will give it their all not players who'd rather be somewhere but are forced here.
Hilarious isn’t it
Andy Mitten has maintained throughout the saga that if Frenkie comes he will be professional and give his all. He has stated this isn’t a DiMaria situation, and Frenkie isn’t the petulant type to throw his toys and down tools. I think he’s proving that now turning out for Barca and being the best player on the pitch when he came off the bench.
If you’re not trolling: I didn’t mean you, I was answering your question.
Sport describes it as "Dia pequeña"
I know yeah. Madness to think that any player would join a new team if they lost their last game. Absolutely laughable.
It's funny that these links are still appearing. I don't know how Jamie Jackson could keep a straight face when writing it.
I know right? Absolutely side splitting. Banter FC.
How long before we get a "Things are happening" tweet?
Yeah I Doubt Antony would like to double his salary, and FDJ would want to play some football.
Crazy.
Big day today
I mean Anthony literally said in an interview after the Ajax game that ETH should speak with his agents if we're interested. FDJ hasn't come out and said he won't join us despite this long saga...
Don't see why losing two games means no one would come - bit of an overreaction in my opinion.
If only it was just the last game.

That’s the stuff. Lovely lovely SPORT.
Always knew sport were reliable 
Sport have always been tier stratosphere for me.
I honestly saw the lack of CL as an issue, a blip (it'd impact but we'd get past it) but I now think it was a disaster.
At the very time that we needed a top transfer window the most (because of the shite, weak willed tossers playing for us), we're struggling and no CL must be an impact.
If rumours true and Rangnick wanted (but wasn't allowed) 1 or 2 players in Jan, saying no to that could be one of the worst decisions the board has made. Catch 22 now as struggling to get the top players who would make a difference, and without them we'll struggle for any hope of top 4, etc etc.
Spent some time thinking post Brentford game and more I do, the more I'm seriously worried. More so than any time in last 40 years. Hope I'm wrong...
SPORT are the biggest redeemed villain in history
Nothing new on that front then eh
Beware of flying pigs
We need this transfer.
So, 95.1% today?

This was massively discussed in January on the transfer threads amongst others. There were multiple good CDM options available in January under the 30M mark, all of which were significant quality upgrades on what we had, and would retain resale value if seen as surplus to requirements. We needed multiple players in the midfield so it should never have been a problem.
However, the board briefed that any signings in that window would reduce the available money in the summer. Again, massively short-sighted, and immediately gave the message to the players that RR was just a stopgap without any real power with the board. You couldn't make it up.

Arctic temperatures in hell have also been reported.
