Have you been living under a rock for the past 2 seasons? How often have we seen this happen.

Rushed through a deal? 1 week before the start of the end of the window and got him for a relatively decent fee. Not sure what, if anything, about that is rushed?

Scaremongering 😂 Everything points to the fact everyone is open to be sold - There is too much smoke around Tella and more specifically Che, for it to not be true. It's not guesswork, its forming an opinion based on the evidence provided which is pretty strong. A little more guess work around KWP and Sulamana granted, but I don't think anyone at all would be surprised if either were to leave. The fact that we we're in for a winger from Genk to me would suggest we're expecting at least 1 to leave. Also seemingly linked to a few RB's, which again, would suggest that 1 is off.

Was probably licking his lips before he actually saw him play.

If the window closed today and we have the same squad as we currently have now, I don't think you'll find many moaning. The trouble is, it doesn't and we wont. We'll almost certainly lose Che & Tella and we'll most probably lose KWP and Sulamana as well. The issue isn't so much losing them, more so we're giving ourselves no time to replace them.

Feels like we've wasted so much time on this deal when it was clear that Painstil was never keen on coming here anyway. Lets hope big Paul is fit and ready, we're gonna need to use him this season 🙃

It makes complete sense. We cannot rely on anyone other than Che through the middle. Can't believe we've not been all over Piroe at 12m.

I would imagine that we knew Lavia wouldn't play a game in the champ and probably assumed that JWP would be gone sooner than he was.

He'll go to Bournemouth - I'm almost certain of it.

Don't worry mate, we've got players and agents queuing up to get into the club. All will be fine.

Ohh Dickey boy - Is this the same user who was laughing at everyone of my posts that points out the incompetency of this club all but a week or 2 ago? How things change.

There is absolutely no reason why, even more so at that price, we couldn't have the 2 of them (if Che doesn't leave). Piroe going to Leeds not only takes a sensible, obvious replacement for adams away from us, it also strengthens a promotion rival. We needed another forward anyway aside from Che we have nothing up top. Che is also very obviously going. All wilcox has done this window is managed to shift Lavia for a few extra bob (because of liverpools desperation), yet hes lauded as a hero on here.

Surely at this point we need to say to him, if you're not gone by the end of this week, you're not leaving at all. We're shooting ourselfs in the foot here as its clearly going to drag on to the wire leaving us no time to replace. We either draw a line now or we twist and spend £20m on his replacement now (Piroe). Worse case, we rotate the 2 of them.. Not a bad thought..

It'll be just as bad a move for him though. Despite spending a few bob, Bournemouth look terrible from what I've seen of them. They'll stay up as there will be 3 teams worse than them, much like Everton. There's probably 5 teams fighting to not be that 3rd team to go down with Sheff Utd and Luton.

fulham have alredy signed his replacement - they've brought in Jimenez from Wolves . My money is still on him going to Bournemouth. I reckon Solanke will move to West Ham and they'll nip in for Adams late in the window.

Yes. Very easily replaceable for that sum - I've not been massively impressed with him to date, all be it other than 1 (2) tidy goals with his left foot. SAA will be starting on that wing come the end of the season anyway. Tella isn't a PL player and never will be imo, his value is at its highest now, feels like a sensible time to move on and replace based on the sums being branded about.

Whilst not yet official, hes clearly gone... Way too much smoke for no fire/

Terrible deal for us, terrible move for Che, not a great deal for them either. We as fans and Martin as someone who need to pick a competitive side to gain promotion are being let down by the club who clearly lack any ambition other than making money. Losing Che is 20 goals taken out of our side - thats the difference between promotion or not. He's not the best player, he's replaceable (especially if we do go up), but I do not trust the senior figures at our club to get it right.

Whilst I completely understand your point and agree we need a 'billy sharp type', the problem is, we had PL quality players in and around those you've listed above - I'm not sure we have any in our squad anymore. We'd effectively need a whole new 11 next season if we went up.

With no disrespect to Plymouth, who are a really hard working side, with a great manager doing really well on a tight budget - I wouldn't really use their opinion to gauge the the quality of potential PL players. As said already, he's this years Danny Fox and will be nowhere near good enough for the PL. Which is fine for us now, but he's very lucky he didn't go to Luton where it'd have been a nightmare season for him.

simple, effective and easy enough for the hand clapping seals to join in. Make it happen.

Charley, Stu and based on Saturday Adam Armstrong. Probably, actually comfortably, our position in the squad

He's lucky he did - he crap at defending in this league let alone the one above.

I don't understand this link tbh - we seem to be stacked in the 'attacking 8 / 10' role, I hope this doesn't mean that Alcaraz is off.

They're clearly not though. If they were we'd have kept JWP, Che, Tella and recouped some security money on selling the others we have. As @Pilchards has said a few times, they're not expecting promotion this season and if we get it, that's a bonus. For me, the evidence of outs vs ins backs that up.
