What's Taider got to do with it, he's been here about 5 days, probably won't play any part tomorrow. He'll be a bit part player you know, last 20 sub like Cork for most of last season.

Receiving suitable compensation and being told that there's no way you're leaving this summer aren't the same thing at all. Krueger was definitive, no means no no matter what anyone offers....we'll see come 11 pm on the 1st September.

Perhaps, but I doubt the highest offer has amounted to 10 million £ in total, there are so many variants available.

That I couldn't say, it was like that to start with, then Chadli got involved somewhere but he didn't want to play for us, saw it as a step down I expect. Now they'll offer cash only, about 21 million £, take it or leave it I expect.

Was he not told he could leave if the club received suitable compensation, I think he was, several seemingly reliable sources have said that. In his mind he was being allowed to leave for one of the 2 North London clubs, highest bidder. Then Ralph wet his knickers and gated him, he's firking ****ed off and rightly so.

10 million + Holtby and Chiriches or so I hear, we want folding though, lots of it.

What 44 million ?

The new Romanian prospect can play DM if required, not that we don't have other candidates for the position really.

Well according to my old friends at hat-trick we were looking to sign papy Djiliboji (sp) from Nantes, Ralph was even seen at Le Beaujoir but it fell through over work permit concerns in the end.

Couldn't even see him on the video that goes with the Ryan Bertrand interview, maybe he's on "special training" with the U12s or something.

Trouble is Saints don't seem to want Billy Sharp to play for them, catch 22 situation really.

Well at at guess I'd say he's still here despite a few loan outs because he's got a contract that says we have to pay him about 1.2 million £ per annum and no-one else wants to give him that. If you believe the Echo the club have told him he can have a free transfer if he can find a suitable deal with another club. Hardly what you'd tell someone that the manger really wants to keep is it.

Whoa there, he has to find a club that will pay him well yet, until then we're stuck with his salary until next June. Doubt if he's going to move on for less, hasn't done so up until now. If he can get a near offer maybe, but doubt if he'll accept a lot less.

Old fashioned parlance really.

Jake Sinclair is now 19 going on 20, if he's going to make the grade then he'd better get his skates on soon.

Well no, they got roundly beaten ..twice so it would have made no difference really.

Whatever happened to the last home friendly fun day. Some seemed to like that IIRC.

Apparently we've cooled off on the subject of Schletto (don't think we were ever that hot actually) and he's now as likely as not going to Parma, cos well Inter seem keen on fobbing him off on someone.

If Sporting Portugal actually owned the player they might be a bit more flexible over the fee, as it stands they lose what must be to them a key player and receive virtually sod all. They'll end up getting as much for an unknown England U21 International as they probably will for a world cup finalist. The kazakh loan shark however will be rubbing his hands on his Turkish based yacht with some extra totty no doubt.

However was it not reported that Krueger made Liverpool pay for at least the basic fees for Lallana and Lovren in one hit. Or was that just some anti-Krusty getting overexcited?

And we won't see him coming...well unless we are at Carrington that is. Utd wanted Vermaelen, they won't get him cos he'll go to Barca so I expect Blind is their fall back option.

Drawn against Maribor, think they'd have about an even chance of getting through. They should have beaten Legia really, lack of preparation perhaps or just that their new manager hasn't got a clue what he's doing.

They don't get much of it anyway, I wonder if they actually know that 75% of whatever they get ends up in the coffers of a kazakh backed venture capitalist.

looks that way, strange way of doing things though, perhaps it's a potential loan deal or something.

Well it seems that provisional medicals in case you find an agreement with the player's club at some time in the near future are now all the rage.
