Would fit with what we have but not be an upgrade for me do I can't see him signing for us as he eouldn't be necessarily get a lot of game time. He's a decent player though!

Or Kaspers agaent trying to get him a pay rise!

That implies there is some restriction in supply? It is simple rip off pricing in a non competitive market but then we are used to that with football These could clearly be sold much cheaper and still generate significant profits for all concerned but selling them at an over inflated price boosts everyones profits keeping the rich guys happy!

Was going to say the same and it will sell like hot cakes as people will for some reason wear it with a pair of jeans round town!

You can see the dodgy photoshop work a mile off, between the legs on the grey shorts is pure white the rest of the back ground is a dodgy grey. Not saying they are not the kits but that certainly isn't an official product shot.

Seems like a decent option good solid experience in France and hopefully given a bit of a budget over here will prove an astute choice. I don't for minute think we are going to see a repeat of the portaloo experiment with youth but I would at least like to see some given the chance unlike last season when they seemed to be roundly ignored particularly reed who I though had a breakthrough season the year before.

I reckon Newcastle will pay them more so they want to go much like players dropping down to play for our fishy friends. Matt Richie probably sees Newcastle as a better long and short term option short term they pay him more long term they are likely to be in the prem more than Bournmouth.

If he goes back to Italy and/or we spend big on a replacement I have no problem with him leaving but I really don't think we should be loosing him to a mid table premiership club unless we have someone younger and better already lined up.

I hope he does get the Arsenal job as that will mean we have had another fantastic season! The summer nobody come knocking for our players and manager is the summer we need to worry!

Enter the unfit glassed knee'd show pony!

Crap times nobody seems to have a clue what's going on it's like everyone assumed we'd vote remain, oh well we've got our sovereignty back apparently hope it's worth something at the global pawn shop!

Once another club is involved and he wants to go the situation changes to either they pay up and you go there or you are on gardening leave for once the club held the whip hand!

I fookin hope they gave RK an ultimatum name me a club that have had a good season knowing it was the managers last apart from man utd's last under Ferguson, although remember the first time he said he was off? Last time we had a manager announce he was leaving at the end of the season we had a total mare the likes of which I never want to see again! City were terrible for pellegrini this year etc etc Much better to have 5m in the bank and a committed manager spot in from Les!

We must have been the only club Delap played for who got nothing out of his crazy long throws never remember it coming off for us! Back on topic reasonably pleased with Redmond seems to have bags of potential and a decent attitude and a 5 year contract means he should be here a while yet!

Class is priceless all the best victor

that's the question though are they really that minted? Will the owner really be able to stand those sorts of losses and will financial fair play allow it?

but will they be prepared to pay players the same as Wesley or risk loosing them because they are ****ed off that the club thinks some past it big name is worth more than them?

exactly we've been doing it for years or did you deliberately miss my point! We have signed loads of decent youngsters from other clubs in recent years like we always do!

it's hardly new it's something we have been doing for years and years Blackstock and the like being prime examples.

Because then when we inevitably sold players everyone would be screaming about how he lied when he said we weren't selling, d'oh! We don't want or have to sell anyone but we don't keep players who don't want to be here and we don't let them run contracts down and leave for free seems like sensible business to me!

If we take 25m then we definitely know something is up but I can't see it happening we have always been pretty tough in our negotiations so if they want him I expect them to be looking north of 30m 45 is probably a little optimistic given the lack of English player inflation in Mane's case

and when your other star players find out just how much more he's on than them they won't go knocking on the managers door asking for there share of the new Wonga?

I think we've sold a couple of players who were worth 100K a week (Schniderlin, Clyne) but it doesn't seem to be in our model to pay that and for more it is a potential snowball effect as once one player gets it others will start asking.

Can they easily afford it though if Kante and Mahrez and half a dozen others ask for it to be matched, can they afford it with no Champions league in future seasons? I remember Leeds gambling on continued Champions League qualification and loosing rather badly! Paying one player a massive salary has knock on effects!

and I'm betting they have upped his salary way beyond anything we will pay (probably north of 100K a week) which may seem great right now but will seem much harder to justify should they have a bad season and Vardy go off the boil!
