Is THB the only player to have come out on social media and said something about Martin going?? Seems odd given how well liked he apparently was.

It’s similar to Selles leaving Reading for Hull. Doing well at Reading but a mess off the pitch. Given chance to go up a league but to team bottom and he’s taken the chance. Yes they aren’t adrift but managers surely back themselves to turn struggling teams around?

Also a proper captain - someone who is good enough to make the starting XI and not shoe horned in every week. Back to basics, make us defensively solid and hope we can pick up some offensive players in Jan.

Easier to achieve in an smaller league. Easier to build a competitive squad. Us out the PL will impact them too with less money coming in, you need to get the top of the pyramid working first to really benefit the rest of the group longer term

He can use his wealth and contacts to buy us if he likes

Appreciate the explanation but there is tedious links and then there is that. Philip to Robert Maxwell 😂😂

It’s always on the excess. Not aware of any that have been on full sale price

Sell for £18M and Arsenal get 18M, sell for £19M and Arsenal get 18.85M and Bournemouth 150k. this selling so don’t have to pay former club a sell on is nonsense as still beneficial to do so

They take 2 mins to do especially when no updates so look like it slipped through someone’s to do list

Looks to be a shell company as no trading occurs through it. Their confirmation statement was due in June so is overdue but nothing else is late.

https://twitter.com/theathleticfc/status/1827807913177403705?s=46&t=OQrvtqxdga34G9SV_nKtNQ maybe we are one of the clubs, top of our price range and young.

The difference this season when playing 3 centre backs is we have surrendered the Che Adams player for an extra midfielder - I assume to be more trickier to breakdown. maybe once everyone is upto speed we should go to 4-2-3-1 with Lesley and Flynn as the two with Armstrong BBD and a more trickier (Dibling even) as the 3. Get a proper centre forward in to lead the line. If KWP goes then get a proper left back in too.

Let’s see if hes on the bench today or not. That’ll be the indication imo

Wouldn’t be so sure. We wanted to pay £2.5M loan fee plus 80% of wages, Arsenal want £5M loan fee.

Delap is the only one they have beaten us to. The others would haven’t put bids in for so not sure how we can have lost out on them?!

Its likely to be 15% on the excess over 12.3M tbh rather than 15% of the full 18M

So Sunderland expect a buying club to pay over the odds for him so they can pay Spurs their slice and Sunderland walk away with the amount they want. Can’t see anyone paying £25M for him tbh

Ah but if you were colour blind they would appear a red/orange colour. Red for Feyeonord Orange for Netherlands.

I’m actually itk about one that is being worked on currently too actually. here is a clue for you 🧤- make of that what you will….

You posted a green face on 26th July, you didn’t say Fernandes was coming.

3 days ago, what on Sunday when it was public knowledge we were signing him and you realised the MOR smiley face also worked for Fernandes. Yup well played.

That was clearly in reference to MOR and not having any of it if you are now trying to claim it was for Fernandes

Come on then. Explain the link from photo to signing. Apart from the green being for sporting

A few journalists (and Alex Crook) saying Bournemouth and Southampton also interested in Ramsdale. Arsenal wanting 5M+ and majority of wages paid. There is a case for each club tbh, sure others will now make their moves.

Could this not be an option for the U21’s side? Maybe we are going to loan our keeper out for league experience and so need another in?
