Brilliant point. Ings agent team are expecting us to accept the same or less 🤦‍♂️ We'd honestly be better keeping him and letting him go for nothing, his goals for another season would be worth the loss (top half rather than bottom half, would we make most of it up in prize money anyway?) And it gives us another seasons worth of revenue/deadweight players off the wage bill to try and replace him properly rather than spending a paltry amount on a subpar replacement and struggling because of it.

Erm almost everyone on here said Liverpool got a bargain when they signed Mane for £30million. First season he was inconsistent for us but after that he was one of the top attackers in the league.

With the release clause they want to set it almost guarantees he goes in the summer, barring a major injury. It's ridiculous and such an obvious "we want a load of extra money and still get the move".

Yep, if they're set on that release clause we should take the contract offer off the table and then refuse to accept anything in the summer that isn't at least £5million above the amount they wanted to set.

As usual the concepts look amazing, and the final result will probably be disappointing.

Exactly. Ings with a 5 year deal and no release clause would be worth £50million or more. Asking for a release clause less than £20million, less than what we paid for him, is just saying we want to leave this summer one way or the other.

Clearly I'm not the only one, and it wasn't hard to see if you looked properly.

Oh well. We've actually looked better at times this season with Walcott and Adams linking up, I've been saying for a while that Ings attitude has been disappointing, he never plays with a smile on his face anymore, just hangs around the left hand corner of the box demanding the ball and getting pissed off with teammates when they don't pass it to him.

Fuck sake Valery shoot....why are we so determined to take an extra 10 touches when the shooting chance is on?

Brilliant JWP.

Fucking hell Adams, take it sooner...

With the change in system are we not stuck in our academy now with a lot of midfield players not suited to either the deep lying midfield or the number 10 role?

Jankewitz on for Watts. Tall lad ain't he.

Stephens giving the ball away again. He's not a fucking ball playing defender.

Thank God for that.

Long stumbles on the ball then messes up the pass. Please sub him Ralph.

Feel like using Adams for 20 minutes would be the smart thing to do here.

Brilliant from Diallo.

That looked in to me...are they using goal line tech in the FA cup?

Stephens passing further than 5 yards is atrocious. Nearly plays a Shrewsbury player in with an underhit passback to Forster then kicks it straight out for a goal kick trying to play long in.

What a save there.

For Nlundulu, to "the wanderer" He's the type of guy who likes to rubnaround, When he gets hit he never goes to ground, He kicks em and he heads em, cos to him their all the same, I don't know where he came from, I can barely spell his name, It's Dan Nlundulu, yeah Nlundulu, he runs around around around around around...

It was reactionary to a specific event that had happened at that moment, Stephens giving the ball away cheaply in injury time for them to score the second when we should have been pushing for an equaliser. Thanks for your reviews of my posts though.

Remember when we, a team too strong for league one, got dicked by Pompey, a team struggling in the Prem? Shrewsbury haven't trained for a fortnight I believe, we should be looking to win this by 4+ goals.

If the rumours are true that his team are set on a release clause under £20million then they're all but guaranteeing he leaves in the summer anyway, so why would we agree to that? If he doesn't sign then we can demand £30million in the summer and either someone pays it or we get another year of him banging goals in for us before he needs replacing.
