The top line numbers were announced though weren’t they? I would imagine anyone looking to buy would have seen the latest set of management accounts which would be more upto date that then submitted statutory accounts filed at companies house.

Not the best of sources but £15M seems cheap for him! https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-aston-villa-norwich-keen-west-brom-tell-star-can-leave-right-price

Sergio Romero On a free would be an improvement to our XI, although would need us to sell another keeper.

I would if it means we sell Redmond (only cos I wouldn’t see any of the others) Our wide players last season didn’t score or create enough so seems silly to go into next year with the exact same players in those positions. Armstrong is fine, Walcott already signed up so I’d like at least one new face in there this season.

Everton are announcing their away kit tomorrow (assume ahead of wearing vs City on last day). Would give us a few clues on style possibly used for ours?

Think only chance we would have is if we offered Mo as part of the deal to bring down the overall cost to us!

No mention of signing a contract extn though. I’d be surprised if we let him go run down the contract and go for free. We couldn’t afford to let him go for nothing and have to buy a replacement

Third kits are just becoming standard with clubs now, just another way to make more money from fans. If clubs thought about kit clashes there would never be a need for 3rd kits however that’s not the main consideration anymore.

They don’t seem to be shy promoting Hummel though, their “wallpaper Wednesday” graphics had some nice Hummel stripes in the background today.

The CEO of Spotify tweeted to buy out KSE. If only we had wealthy fans who would offer to do the same!

Currently 7-1 down 😬

It was more the sale and lease back of stadium and the high value they put on the stadium. A tactic clubs are using to try and get in line with FFP

Mel Moris - hmm, a bit shady when it comes to trying to bend the rules though: https://www.accountingweb.co.uk/business/finance-strategy/derby-charged-under-financial-fair-play-rules

Seems confident on asking price. £180M for the 80% share Gao paid £210M for. Or £200M for 100% ownership

Anyone back for weekend? If we can get KWP in at RB and Diallo in centre mid that’ll be a big lift. Armstrong can go back to his strongest position then. Ings isn’t even getting scraps to feed on. When’s Theo back??

Will need to raise more than that if they wanted a PL side though

It wasn’t taken out to buy players, it was to ease cash flow during the Covid period

Most of that is the loan money though

Romero is wasted as 3rd keeper, can’t believe nobody picked him up

City could get any forward they want (pretty much) I doubt they will be looking at a 28yr old too seriously- probably an option yes but they will just go and get the best they can from Europe. Jesus isn’t good enough to be their main forward so it’s not as though they need a back up

Wonder why he hasn’t been given any game time with the B team though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Costa is a free agent 😂

It’s only 11am and already we are getting: AMN, King, Gilmour and Lookman with only Long leaving!

Bournemouth keen on the deal but apparently King happy to see out the remainder of his contract and see what options the summer brings when he’s a free agent.

I thought you could only have 1 domestic PL loan at once. Or is it two?
