If we have no need to sell then I'd like to see us play hard ball with a couple of the players it might be worthwhile keeping. Keeping a Ramsdale or Fernandes or even a Downes or THB would be big in the championship with a reasonable to excellent chance that we won't need to replace them if we do win promotion. I get we will inevitably sell some but imagine if we just said to Fernandes that he's simply not leaving this summer and can go with our blessing next year if we don't go up.

If i honest I'd rather we just sell him for good money if he doesn't want to play in the champ for a season.

Why do you think Iran enriched uranium to that level in the first place?

If Ramsdale supposedly loves the club then why can't he just stay for one season in the Championship. If he stays and we top the table then I doubt it will harm his England chances.

"The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to missile and bomb attacks, whatever the arguments it may be presented with, flagrantly violates international law” Sounds like only a minority on here (thankfully!) agree with this statement.

Sounds like the ramblings of someone who would welcome Iran getting their hands on nukes because it will promote peace. Also known as a lunatic.

If I were surrounded by 5 houses that didn't want me as a neighbour, instead of setting fire to all 5 houses and plead innocence, I'd just move house. Explain to me how that is supposed to work with Israel?

Blimey. If true that's superb business.

It's a comparison between two things in order to explain something. It doesn't work because the things that are being compared are not similar.

Not really an analogy that works. The country of Israel isn't a house.

Not sure why you mentioned mane then other than the fact that both are black and have some pace. There's not really a comparison there.

I never claimed he was anything like Mane, nor did I say he would amount to much but I certainly think he can improve and with better coaching I'd like to see what he could do. Happy if we get enough to sell him but also wouldn't be surprised if he proves you wrong and improves.

I'm still not upset he's going. Good money to hopefully bring in someone better and younger.

Agree with you there. Sulemana may end up with a disappointing career but if he went somewhere with a good coach he could suddenly make the most of his best attributes and we could rue the fact we never got the best out of him. Could just as well flop though so selling him for good money is probably a good thing to do. 12 million plus like someone else said and I'd sell.

We can dream but I know in the championship that your actual good players are the ones who leave. It's why it was so amazing last time to have kwp.

Hasn't Broja been pretty ineffective since his horror injury?

I know we already know this but if we are buying an attacking midfielder then Fernandes is definitely off.

So would I but just as likely that he is fairly average like last year. Could go either way at this point.

Could we really rely on two possibly injured strikers and then Archer who may or may not do anything next year?

The main thing is if we can afford Ings and Stewart given that both could break down. Archer, Stewart and Ings feels too light and Archer, Stewart, Ings and A.N.other feels like not a sensible use of our resources. If we didn't have Stewart then I'd agree that Ings would be worth a place but with him I'm not sure how we can justify it as much as I'd like to.

Indeed. I had a really good source a couple of years ago but sadly they've now left. I had itk glory for such a fleeting period.

Looks like there's at least a small chance that the Islamic occupation of Iran may be coming to an end. I think everyone of all stripes can be happy with that outcome. Years of brutal oppression of minorities and especially women and decades of suffering. Fingers crossed it will lead to a positive outcome.

You can't be serious?

Not that odd at all given that's about average in a conflict unfortunately. Obviously that's if we believe the figures coming from the Iranians which is almost certainly wildly inflated.

Yep. Unfortunately with my job I've had to deal with people from all walks of life. There is a particular type of person who isn't very intelligent and so their response to anything is to get angry, shouty and sometimes abusive because they don't have any skills to deal with things differently. You have to treat these people a certain way and understand that they aren't doing it personally at you but they are incapable of doing things differently. I would imagine this is similar for some MPs where you have to represent everyone in your constituency including people who really are best ignored in other situations. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that on a daily basis. Lot of MPs are still pricks of course but for that aspect of it they get my sympathy.
