I guess plan is loan him, hope he has a stormer, activate the year extension and then try and cash in. Worst case he stinks the place out at Nantes and we release him.

I’m still sure that Fernandes is likely to leave, but we have absolutely no financial need to do so now. £50m+ or fck off.

How do you feel about your club caving in in the end?

He’s not saying it is £48m in his post.

Pretty good deal to be fair, credit where it’s due to the club for that one. Will be interesting to see how he gets on… hope for his sake he kicks on now and fulfils his potential. Going to be a lot of pressure on him early with that fee. Lets hope we spend it wisely (for a change).

He also talked about Kabore when he already knew Roerslev was done so I wouldn’t read anything into his comments.

Loser has to sign him.

Yep that’s the one. Maybe Manning in for Welington.

Or he was playing the game very well.

Sorry, what? Where did that come from.. I guess that rules out Kabore! Welcome Mads See you later Suga?

Aribo and Edozie in the background at one point there, so they can’t be that close to exiting..

Absolutely. Player wants to leave, club refuse to sell to us because they can’t accept the fact their best offer is from us, club then put blame at players door for refusing the move. I hope they lose him on a free next year.

Load of nonsense from Krasnodar. They just don’t want to sell him to us, as they don’t want to be seen to be selling their best player and captain to a second division team. They’re clearly hoping a better financial deal will come (which it doesn’t look like it will). Sign Azaz instead and move on. Hopefully Spertsyan runs his contract and gets out of there for his own careers sake next year.

I think the second year is an option that we can chose to implement tbf.

Do something about it then Eduard.

He has two.

I’m not saying I don’t think we need one, just saying there’s no way we’re signing another centre forward this window with current numbers we have. We have Stewart, Downs, Armstrong, BBD and Archer. It would take two, maybe three of those to leave for us to bring in another.

Spurs are not a credible option, they will never pay the money we want.

No chance we’re signing another 9.

I had this ear marked as one of the easier early fixtures… but hadn’t realised Mark Robins was in charge until recently. Very good manager.

I disagree.

Apologies Chez, hypo is right I misread your initial post. Think we are agreeing with each other!

We’ve already got two of those in Charles and Downes. Three if you include Fernandes. We don’t have a proper DM or a proper AM.

Aribo and Smallbone out, Romeu and Azaz in would be very nice indeed
