Agreed. I dont think they have said anything is new, just that we have a good scouting operation in place.

The Times are sying he "could" be going but then they might have picked that up from the Mail. If he goes, he goes, but I am not going to get worked up by anything the Mail has to say.

Over the past few years we have picked up some good deals. Lambert and Schneiderlin were both bargains. Fonte has paid his fee back several times over. Clyne was a very good buy. Lovren too at the time. Not all bad news.

I assume so as Reed went to Portugal to try and tie up the deal. It probably was until MU became interested -that is why the club try and keep their deals quiet I expect.

9 pages in based on something in the Daily Fail. Has anyone seen this mentioned anywhere else?

Lets hope he has the X Factor!

Indeed, we dont pay huge wages and you would expect agents to hang out for the best deals (look at Rojo). All the team can do it to recommend players - the rest is up to whether they want to come or not.

Unlikely that Ronald would have know about this lad so assume he was on the list of the much derrided scouting set up.

My daughter just phoned to say she got two Bs and a C. In my day that was brilliant but she sounded a bit down. Given she hardly did any work for English C is a result. She has a place in art college next year so another year of CSA payments, but I am happy for her.

My mate is a Palace season ticket holder and thinks Puncheon is "rubbish."

No. I am saying that it doesnt matter where someone comes from. Cant you read?

You really are a prize t*sser arent you.

Dont forget that goal machine Frank Saul!!!

I agree but in the current climate people seem to cling to every rumour as if it is gospel. Even if something is true and we are looking at certain players it is often the case that we dont get them for whatever reason. Not having a pop at you by the way!

Where did Shearer come from? He didnt do too badly for us. Just because someone comes from some fancy Italian town doesnt make them any better than someone from Humberside.

I am not knocking your sources, but many posts which claim to be ITK turn out to be a load a tosh so you cant blame people for taking some posts with a pinch of salt.

You really need to get out more mate. A player leaving a football club is not a tragedy. I lost my mother in April, that was a tragedy. If this really does count as a tragedy in your life I pity you.

Yes, Sports Journalists

If this is true what does it tell you about the way the previous CEO conducted his business. There are a bunch of people who come on here every single day and tell us how incompetent the current board are. What about telling someone who has just signed a lucrative contract that they can leave within 4 years doesnt sound like good business practice to me. Probably a crock anyway.

Far too sensible mate. Far better to believe everything you read and spit your dummy out

Perhaps the decision was made by Koeman or Reed? (assuming this is true)

If that is true then Luke does need to grow up. He is still very young and he has hardly reached his full potentail yet either. Still, was that any better than being told by his new manager that he is fat and unfit?

Here you go again dude, making wild assumptions just because you have an issue with the Board and the owner. Just a reminder, no one ever said that all of he money would be spent in this transfer window. I am sure even you can see the sense in keeping funds back for January and next summer?

All the best Billy. Thanks for what you did for us and good luck at Leeds.
