Clearly worth £9m of Burnley’s money. (And the rest).

Same might have been said about Jones, but it wasn't considered an admirable quality with him as I recall.

Insane even.

Good read and encouraging. On the subject of short corners though, I always thought Alan Ball invented or at least patented them. Fair point about the height of players in the box, added to which the RM possession football might also mean we see a few of them this season.

Are they ever ? Unless it's the media fawning over how great and special they are? Perhaps they'll up the bid at about 7.40pm tonight.

So not addressing the critical issues over the last couple of seasons re a striker, and GK continues. Think the club should find a new sponsor, a self-harm charity would seem appropriate.

See Chelsea have signed the Brighton GK, Sanchez. Surely they must have a GK surplus to requirements that would be an improvement on our collection.

Saw Hojberg linked with Atletico Madrid. Any idea if we have a sell on clause ?

If we're ever short for a RB...

She's probably wondering how she can make a video about this Daramy bloke and link it to Anne Frank.

Yes but there were 5,000 outside with banning orders, and another 10,000 lurking around Meadowhall Shopping Centre acting 'big', intimidating women and children.

Hard life isn't it. Do you think they're paid well enough for what they have to go through ?

Good going if we've got that as a loan fee. Perhaps OM need to steady their media team, although still not as premature or embarrassing as the effort from Miss Pace in Burnley though.

No surprise really.

Thought City could buy him next summer for £40m. In which case, providing there isn't a VVD sulk around the corner, might as well keep him to help us get promotion, which outweighs the £now. (Especially if it stops him going to Liverpool).

All in all he's been a let down, and glad he's fucked off, delighted we've got some £ for him as well. Didn't settle, and early days surrounded in mystery, bookended by a dubious and suspect absence when we needed players to stand up. Attitude, or fragile mentality we don't know. Final point on Salisu though is reserved for those who brought him to the club. Rumoured alternatives for CB, Axel Disasi went to Monaco (and now joining Chelsea c£35-40m). Botman went to Lille for less than we paid for Salisu. Great scouting and recruitment by whoever.

Yeh, Dixon and Speedie will score way more.

Sounds like the stage name of a porn star.

I think there was widespread agreement about Carillo. In fact only two people at the club wanted it, the Clown manager and Ross Wilson.

Don’t forget Tall Paul will be like a caged tiger, raring to go after the frustration of last season, when he’s unleashed on the Championship. What’s his price ?

Thanks Turkish. It’s good to have someone with your inside knowledge and connections being able to confirm this link for us. Might not have believed it otherwise.

Christ you're right...

Suggestion I saw yesterday, albeit on an 'unreliable' West Ham source (vlog) was that Downes had rejected the prospect of the move.

After that video that’s exactly the response we should give. Or tell them it’s now £20m ..,

Think the Van Hooijdonk rumour has gone away.
