Unfounded b0ll0cks. What harm to the fan base? How much did Kat plead? And as for the three concerns 1. If the Chinese Government wanted toblock this, it wouldn't have happened. He borrowed the funds from a Chinese state backed bank in HK FFS. Plus he ain't just going to rock up and borrow £180m without the assets to back it. Very few, even wealthy individuals, have £180m hanging around in loose change. In fact, if Kat's loans have been repaid he potentially had to fund £234m. 2. The PL may have had doubts, but what ever they were have been assuaged. 3. As per point 1. So in fact there are only 2 concerns.

Well, the Chicken Licken brigade are now out in full force. I can understand why some are nervous about the takeover, but I think Kat has earned our trust on this, and will wait to see what actions the new owner takes rather than jumping at shadows. Not that any of us has any choice in the matter.

Perhaps you should be wondering how The Times article fits in the scheme of things? Maybe, just maybe, we should judge on actions rather than idle speculation.

Good Bear, good Bear.

This is where we stand up and say to Hoedt that we're keen on him, but we won't deal with Wassermann. Find a new Agent son.

It's a pretty small market though, doesn't take much to move it.

Did he not want to buy a football club?

I though the new rule was that everyone had to have a Chelsea player on loan. But I agree PL clubs should not be allowed, except in very exceptional circumstances (eg. Goallies) to lend players to each other. It just encourages the big clubs to stockpile talent and turn their youth set up in to a profit centre.

I think you mean "bend the knee". And they aren't even the "King of the North".

The Club can blacklist unscrupulous agents, and encourage others to do the same. Make a stand.

That's because its ********.

In fairness, Kat has £210m, we don't have anything.

Dear Double VD, We is minted now. Still wanna leave?

Theo has earned more money than he can ever spend. He might be able to get by on £80kpw if he is intent on getting regular football. Arsenal may make a contribution too. Probably won't happen. Never go back etc etc

What?

So you're not inspired by someone you've never seen play?

He did exactly what he was supposed to do, provide cover. He did it rather well.

I think the club have earned our trust, particularly in assessing centre back options.

I wouldn't bother going if I were you.

Even though he was Jt 3rd in the clean sheet stats last season? Weird.

Wow. Just wow. Good luck with the FIFA pro license

It really depends on when he develops what Adam Peaty calls his "man strength". He needs to be a man to pay CH in the EPL. Playing senior football somewhere will probably be best for him right now - as we did with Stephens.

Bad back, my arse. Virus, my other arse
