hypochondriac

TBF the Downs link was reported quite a while before he signed. Maybe it's true that the Armenian bloke turned us down and we are interested in donley.

This will be easy to prove when he hands in a transfer request. Any time....

I'm not as pessimistic as that because I think you don't appreciate how there are a lot of shit teams in this league. The like of THB, Sugawara, Wellington, Edwards and likely Quarshie are far from average in this league and would get in the squads of almost every team in the league. I agree that attacking midfield is weak but central midfield is up there with the best in the division. I definitely want reinforcements in attack but I'd say our problem isn't that we don't have players capable of scoring goals, it's that beyond Fernandes we have almost no one to create the chances that lead to goals. A Tadic type or even a Schneiderlin is incredibly important for this team. We will definitely get a player or two in for those creative positions, I'm just a bit bummed out we couldn't have strengthened at least a little in those areas prior to the season starting.

Alternatively he has a great season for us and contributes significantly to us getting promoted. All moot though because he's leaving.

What was that website from years ago that you could just invent rumours for? Football transfers? Or football rumours? Something like that.

That's one of the worst articles I've ever read.

I'm hoping that Spors will go some way to sorting this. If they can do the selling side and investing money (and commercial off pitch stuff tbf that's been decent) and leave l the rest to someone else that would be ideal.

How so? That would only be the case if we then accept a lower figure. I am sure internally we are well aware of if he is going or not and will be looking to extract maximum value. Say what you like about sports republic but they are good at selling players for higher values than you might expect. 50 million for Dibling if we get that is excellent business and everyone in this league bar about three other clubs would kill to have an asset worth that amount. The likes of Oxford's entire squad is probably worth that much.

Forest, West Ham, Fulham, Porto, Galatasary, Al-Qadsiah, Juventus, Inter, Atalanta (I wonder why) and Monaco are some of those I know of who have active interest, no idea how many - if any - have bid.

Saint lambden suggested a few yesterday

Not sure anyone has made a bid for nernandes yet but sounds like loads of clubs are interested.

Tyler has the English premium though. I'd maybe try for 60 with Fernandes if we really have the amount of clubs circling.

Echo journo stating we want 50 million each for fernandes and Dibling. If we got that you'd have to say it's understandable why we would sell.

"The best players will play" according to Still. If he's here on Saturday and by that logic he should play. He won't though.

This is most likely. Everton fans going nuts saying its poor from us or that his value will decrease in the championship. Maybe so but maybe we actually want to get promoted so he either stays - unlikely - and we get a top player for a season or he's off but we maximise the value to us.

Bingo! Full house! He said the words...

Homegrown my dude.

If he plays them. Blackmore was intimating Dibling wouldn't play against Wrexham and Fernandes is "ill".

Even getting in signings next week mean they will be unlikely to play much part against Ipswich. It's probably this team minus Fernandes and dibling I'm afraid.

I don't disagree. Just a shame we couldn't have got it a bit more sorted prior to the first game at least. If our start isn't great then it could cost us at the end of the season.

Lol. He's off in a day or two.

It was about the middle of June.

Who is thinking that?

Zia yusuf has received dogs abuse because of his ethnicity.

Almost certainly we've tried and they weren't interested. Still time of course but I want some rumours.
