We waited all that time for that? Anyone could have posted that.

I doubt they're even aware of it. I can sense them all in the board room walking around in circles not sure what to do, players are banging on the door and KL is swimming in money.

We need a RB, and 2 CB's...but we could be clever and get a key CB, and then also a CB who can cover RB. We need a LB. We need a GK We need a CM We need a Striker, probably 2. 2 wide players We're not going to get all of those, so I'd say we're up the creek.

And Hans, Ralf and the pretty inept Gareth 'IDon'tknowwhati'mdoing' Rogers. Then we can start again in that dept. too.

As much as people are hoping it was a dig, it wasn't. It was a little bit of a naive tweet by Koeman, who genuinely does post pre-training pictures on a daily basis. It just fits for it to be picked up by the media as it has been.

And for it costing so damn much, it's probably the most dull and plain training ground interior I've ever seen in my life.

Probably 3.

It's on his replies and tweets page, it's not a main tweet.

To a point, possibly. But what's happening now is down the naivety of the board and they don't have a clue how to stop it.

See, this is exactly what happens when you start selling players at this amount. There's no way to spin it. Agents, clubs and the players currently here will be looking and wondering WTF. Agents will sense a pay day and buying clubs will see an easy ride. The door is literately bolted wide open. The board are inept.

This has come from Ben Smith as well by the way.

Ben Smith has just confirmed that 1 premier league club hold a strong interest in Clyne. 8..?

Kind of makes you laugh that all we've heard over the last 6 months is that we have an amazing scouting system, 20 odd recruitment experts working around the clock to ensure we work quickly. Only 2 signings we've made have been on Koemans recommendations and the other dutch signings will also be Koeman influenced. So that recruitment team have done a terrific job. To be fair, this is probably the same team who discovered Mayuka and Forren. Sack the lot of them.

0%, he's already gone.

Not the sort of update I was hoping for. We're gone, aren't we?

Totally. We seem quick enough to sort the outgoings, but the incomings don't seem any nearer. Haggling with Feyenord over a few mill for Pelle doesn't give me much confidence for the rest of the window, to be honest.

Pretty pointless these days isn't it? When transfer fees are now regularly £70m+, it's quite a pointless existence for provincial clubs like us.

We sold them all to Liverpool for £25m

Clearly won't be £12m. If it was, every club in Europe would have bids on the table.

To be fair, Jay has fully recovered from his knee injury and was on course to return within 6-8 weeks - well ahead of schedule. He's been working building his strength and muscle around his knee. The knee injury it's self has gone.....so it's not like they're signing a crocked player, they're signing a player who isn't fully fit as yet. I just hope we haven't agreed to let him go at a knock down price for this. Should be £20m and no less. I will miss Jay, regulars on here will know how much I wanted that signing to happen back in the day. Utter class act of a player who stepped up a level last year.

To be fair, RK is in a bit of a non-fail position. If it goes tits up here and we do go down, the finger will be pointed at the sales and the situation he was put under. If he succeeds and does well, he will be seen as a miracle worker and Liverpool will probably sign him as their Reserve Manager or something.

Jan is way too upbeat for me, a bit cringeworthy.

Any news on anyone coming in will be greatly received. Although I'm sure the Fonte/Cork to leave story will be breaking first.

Just shows how seemingly desperate we are to sell players.
