Did MLG do the ratings for Lallana? They're terrible.

Not seen much of him but know Martinez has been interested for a while. If the hipsters give him the Danny Welbeck seal of approval, I'm in.

Clyne's (partial) demotion was more a Poch thing. Reckon normal business will resume under Koeman -assuming, of course, Clyne stays.

From your Poyet source?

Gyan was a class act, scored some great goals for Sunderland - just a bit of a c**t and buggered off as soon as some oil-rich backwater offered him more money.

If that is the OP's source, the translation is quite different.

Do you think you can make the same dumb point on another thread

Behave you clueless cretin - did I claim any special info? Did I cherry pick a figure from the gutter press? I simply drew attention to a figure that was bandied about by even respectable news sources.

Well the club have been fueling expectations of improving on 8th and the prospect of European football.

We don't know that it's up to £9m -and if in the unlikely case it is, how realisable those clauses are. Other places have reported its £2m + £2m in add-ons.

Not disagreeing with you For the sums that a 32 year old was likely to command in the transfer market (Wham is a slightly different case), the smarter business would have been to keep Lambert. We're not in the business to make players dreams come true.

Oh the old Peter Risdale/Peter Storrie one-two - because under Cortese we were hurtling our way towards financial oblivion. Pub idiot economics at its finest.

Staggeringly good business Do you want to buy some magic beans off me? Forget that West Ham basically offered double that, perhaps we could have kept him, knowing his value to us far outweighed whatever price he would reach in the open market. Perhaps that would have been staggeringly good business too.

£5m? Not from the reports I've seen. Add a couple of million or so and you're getting warmer.

What do you mean by consent? If you mean the sales were a virtual fait accompli that Koeman went along with, then yes he gave his consent.

Agree - above all, don't want us to revert to some drop deep, counterattacking style that the Dutch have sometimes been known for. Love the high aggression pressing.

Fair enough - more could take a leaf from your book. Still would be massive if those two signings materialise.

Why only slight? Surely it's a potential shout-it-from-the-rooftops scoop.

You would think so but Ingsey, Burnley legend, is an adopted Lancastrian, stuck with the club through thick and thin -well mostly thick. If he does move, I hope the press reminds us that he did so with a heavy heart.

A credible ITK scoop?

Not really, Small Fry, just pointing out what a plum you look in your apples and pears comparison - you've certainly perfectly the halfwit sneer. Anyway, like you, I propose a toast to Danny Ings, a true Burnley legend whose Bournemouth lineage is rivalled only by the handful of seasons he spent at the club. Ingsey, proud scorer of 27 all-conquering league goals for the claret and blue. Hail Burnley - you made him the player he is today.

No Danny Ings was

In further news, Luke Shaw was an academy product.

??? It was an obvious ****** take of those on here who allegedly get their knickers in a twist every time the media doesn't credit us for our role in a former player's development. Never mind the difference between an academy product or someone with a couple of hundred caps plucked out of obscurity and Danny Ings. Whoosh to you, pal.
