But surely he must have made them believe there was at least a possibility that he will stay?

Do you think he's going to give us a year? Seems quite idiotic to use him in the marketing if he leaves in a few weeks.

I always think of Asamoah Gyan who basically gave up a promising prem career in his 20s to get ridiculous contracts in places no one has heard of. Nice work if you can get it I suppose.

They are black and white. Difficult to mess them up too much I would have thought.

Jesus christ if that's real. The person who told me what it was said it looked better in person. I beg to differ that is hideous!

I see some loons on twitter are getting themselves worked up about the prospect of signing Fonte. Happy to place on record that this will never happen and is a stupid thing to suggest.

Saint Garrett is basically correct. I'm pretty sure I received duff info about what the home shirt would be because I haven't seen it this year and I was told it was something different than the home shirt he has posted. Black and white away and 3rd shirts are correct though.

I think the issue is doesn't city have a sell on clause? So if we were to sell him to someone else we would end up with less than the 40 million their buy back clause is next year.

Thinking about it, maybe we will have to sell one of Lavia or jwp for slightly less than we want in order to go e us some financial certainty and allow us to stand firm on some of the others.

Good point I'd forgotten Adams. That's 9 then and I really don't think we will be selling them all.

Jwp Salisu ABK KWP Alcaraz Sulemana Lavia Tella Those are probably our eight best players - with the exception of Salisu and Tella maybe. I'd be very surprised if we let all of them leave and happy if any one of them stayed for the championship. Even a couple of them staying would make a big difference. My expectation is that any one of them could leave so it's not overly disappointing if any of them do.

Wasn't Um Pahars something to do with that?

I must admit, it's not looking great that he isn't in yet.

reliable.

I thought spurs might be in for him.

Might as well let them all be owned by countries then you may have some more level competition!

Wait I saw Saint garret already posted. Did he mention the bit about Draper?

Just because I know it annoys soggy I'd thought I'd leave a message

Being honest, with the resources we have we really should be in the playoffs as a minimum. Anything less really is a failure.

I think it will be the manner of defeats that will dictate that. Anyone can be unlucky and lose a game or two but if we have no discernable game plan and we look aimless and muddled as we have done so often in the past couple of years then that will cause a mutiny.

Hard to argue with that tbf. Annoyingly I think he'd be really good under the system that's going to be employed under Martin.

I don't think he's worth that much given his age. In the plus column he's English, our captain, a model professional, probably the best free kick taker in the world, plays virtually every game and has scored more than ten goals for the last two years in a team that creates nothing. I think we would have possibly looked for 45 had we stayed up but given our relegation, I think we will accept 40 or 35 with achievable addons.

What an excellent article thank you very much for taking the time to do a considered piece on our club. You've obviously got a good knowledge of the championship which makes it a lot more interesting. Cheers.

Surprised he'd go there over United. I expect being able to stay at home has a lot to do with it.

I'd take 40 million for jwp personally. I can't see us selling for anything less.
