Exactly what Bompey wanted, nice sum of money too for a dog average player.

Do agree that it was time for him to leave, but can't help but feel we should have given him more of a chance under Puel, he only seemed to get the odd game, and when he started he showed he can still do it (Bompey away). Turned out ok for both parties, but I'd take him back right now.

Certainly think it was a bit careless of us last year letting him go, north of £20m is fair for him, really good player who works his arse off.

Hopefully he'll be signing a new contract in the next few weeks, would be daft not to.

Strangely it's not been announced yet, they don't have to but think normally it's done by now. Guess we'll probably hear something on the 1st June if not before. Quite a few decent players out of contract for other clubs...be interesting to see where they end up, specifically Meyer... Luke Shaw Mario Balotelli Max Meyer Jack Wilshere Bernard Milan Badelj Oguzhan Özyakup Think we're pretty much agreed that priorities have to be: CB (physical and dominant) AM - possibly Ziyech Winger (Quick & powerful) - Sisto / Promes maybe both ST - ideally someone who is good in the air. Would look at Rondon despite the lack of goals, maybe Bas Dost.

Surely Bertrand will want to go given his England snub.

Well that was kind of my point, but in todays market we probably shouldn't be letting him go for anything less than £5m. Ideally we let him go on loan for a year and see what happens, keep Bertand & Targett.

TBF, if they nail that position, and get a top keeper in, they could well win the league next year....they have the strike force, and now the defence.....

If it's a perm transfer, it'll be interesting to see how much he goes for...would have expected it to be somewhere between £5m & £10m in todays market...

Good player, we've been a better side this season when he's been on the pitch IMO. Will always give his all and certainly has a place in the squad. As others have mentioned though, he has never had a proper position which has meant he's struggled. I have no problem with him as part of a 3 man narrow midfield or as a RM with an attacking full back behind him.

Exactly. What we're saying at the moment, is that someone is pocketing some of the VVD money, we're not putting anything in of this years money, and we've got to sell to bring in money to spend. If it was £75m + anything we bring in then fair enough, ca net £20m spend of this years money.

Would like to see him in behind a striker, or coming in off the right.

I’m not panicking and still fully expecting him to sign...BUT...if some of these rumours are true then we’re ****ed. Was thinking this would be a wake up call but potentially not...be a shambles if we **** this window up as much as the last 4.

I'd probably take all of those three if wages weren't ridiculous and they'd come...

Should be starting IMO.

Don't think the gap is that big tbh.

But why would we have a red 3rd kit? Would make no sense unless the 1st kit is mainly white.

Yeah - crap if thats what we've gone with - can't imagine its genuine though...

Do they? Where?

If you think that they got in contact last week and it was signed this week you're very much mistaken. They've probably been talking for months...Pellegrini was heavily linked back in January for WHU job, was probably in initial talks then...!

Shame because he is a decent little player, I quite like him, but he's just not big enough physically and we always have to use a sub for him if he starts. Time to move on unfortunately.

Because it suits the agenda from some fans. Not defending Reed for making a few bad decisions, but he also made some very good ones over the last 5 years. Not sure why some people are calling for his head so surely. I am indifferent, I don't mind if he goes as long as he's replaced with someone else decent, but my preference would be that he's given another chance

Does no-one else get paid then? At least £20m of that is probably other staff.

Does it matter? He's basically already at the club anyway, and its all but done. Chill....!

Think we just have a lot of players on medium/large wages (i.e. £40k - £80k bracket), rather than a few on £120k+ and a few on £20k We aren't going to pay anyone over £80k / week IMO.
