Window Cleaner

A lot of money or so I'm led to believe.

Because we probably thought they'd cave in, I mean we do so everybody does right !! Also the Black Box ran on Windows 95 and since it got an automatic update to W10 the screen has gone all fuzzy. Or Mitchell took the bloody instructions with him, that's a possibility I suppose.

Well yes but for about half of the amount..

What 55 million surplus ? We had to give money to Celtic, there's VAT and agents fees. The proceeeds of the VvD deal probably turn out at about 50 million at best.

He's probably regretting the initial outlay already anyway. Still think it was dodgy myself.

Why ? They don't want to sell him anyway so why accept payment on the never, never? It was up to us to stump up the full amount. If we couldn't then don't mess about.

No...you just have to let it go. We won't give them what they want which is all of the due money and so it's off. We're probably trying to fob them off with 10 million or so 3 times and they probably can't get credit to buy a replacement .

His mate probably told him he wasn't; Number 10 Ipomec=Promes Shancer.

Well I think we've moved on to Spartak wouldn't sell because we wouldn't give them the money now.

Right, if you don't have the money you can't give it to them.

Well at least they recycle waste paper..which is good right !

Which is what was often said here yesterday. They have no earthly reason to give us credit. They don't want to sell the player anyway. Don't think that there are all that many UK-Russia transfers and payment terms are probably why. So in fact the release clause wasn't met, we said we'd meet it but weren't willing to give them all of the money, probably because we just don't have it.

Probably on some form of fantasy football or other.

What for ? We have wingers, they just need to play a bit more constantly. There is no guarantee that anyone we might turf up at this stage will be of any value to us. Look at a couple of blokes that Spurs signed a while back NKoudou...crap and that other bloke from Lyon who lasted about 5 minutes Clinton NGie or something or other. The PL is a very difficult league, fast pace, good defenders, hard midfielders etc and you have to be above average to be anywhere near good enough.

They have another 2 weeks or so to find a replacement, they probably just don't want to.

they probably do actually. Victor isn't looking anywhere near what he was and Dembele is such a bolshy dîck that he's a danger to his team. Watched them the other day in the Cup, not what they used to be in DM/CM.

Nah I'll give it 7/10. 5 for Carrillo and an extra one each for getting rid of Van Dijk and at least not wasting money on more useless crap like Bednarek and Gardos.

Because young hot shots like Sessegnon would just laugh at us. They know already where their destiny lies.

So we want to go right down to League 1 is that the plan ?

Like Fulham haven't already refused to sell Sessegnon to far better clubs than Saints.

Well not that I think that Les is much good for anything much but if we didn't have enough money then that's not entirely his fault. Then again you could argue that if we'd sold VvD when we should have, ie last summer, then all this January stuff could have been avoided by getting whatever needed doing done before August 31.

Which should really be largely enough to get more points than three other PL sides. We have enough players, most of them are easily good enough if they're even at 90% of their capacity. Just need to click and score that extra goal to put games away.

Who knows really. 35 million in cash is a whole lot of money. Doubt if Monaco were over generous with the payment terms for Carrillo either, another Russian owned outfit.

And if we're not in a position to do that ?

Probably just turned up early for the match. She'll probably consume a fair number of pies during the day.
