It's impossible to foresee when other clubs are going to bid for your players. If we want to avoid players leaving deeper into the window, then we have to stipulate that to agents etc that we will not sell certain players after a specific date. 

I understand that's how it works to some extent.

Don't disagree but if it's true that we needed the cash and the players wanted to go, I would have hoped we could have got at least one or two out of the building a bit quicker. At least as good or better was the quote. They'd have to hit consecutive home runs at this point in order to effectively replace those four players now. Not impossible but incredibly difficult.

Depressing isn’t it. I expect most players are sick of our lack of ambition, repeatedly missing out on main targets, lots of big talk and little action then having their chances of premier league football snatched away by the absurdity of events in May.  It’s been an absolute shit show since they replaced Lawrie with Chris Nichol.

This has the feel of a post relegation season, with vultures circling for our best talent. Yes yes, I know everyone one has their price blah blah. But this is a consequence of failing to secure an immediate return to the prem. Hopefully Spors &co have suitable replacements lined up.

Anyone pressed Blackmore on his transfer Bonanza comments of last week ?

The bloke is either full of crap or just a useful idiot for the club.

What comment was that? If he had an inkling that the selling of our main talent was possible, I think it wasn't the smartest idea to raise unrealistic hopes by repeatedly talking about Vipotnik.

The only thing I remember about him was just how bad a defender he was for us. Repeatedly committing stupid fouls or being caught out of position 

I don't disagree but I can forgive all that due to his fabulously 1950s name, his easy elegance on the ball and the Maldini hair band, TBF he was played as a right back and in a Will Still back 3

We’re going to end this window with at least two of Scienza, THB and Jander gone, aren’t we.
 

Yay

Fuck that negativity pal.

If we sell THB for under £20m I will indeed fall off my seat

TBF though that quote is pretty vague...

It is, but if we end up with a team that's not as good as last year (on paper) then it's a blatant lie (regardless of how vague it is)

Thanks captain obvious. Still doesn't mean we've given them time to bed into the team when a good start is imperative for us.

Every bloody time MLG posts it seems you have to shoot him down. Regardless!

He isn’t your problem, you are. I enjoy reading most of your views, but remove the blinkers, and you’d be overall far more credible.

This is what he said a couple of months ago.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g8gkre4exo

Quote

"If we would let some players go, it would have to be a really good offer for the club and also for the player.

"On the other hand, I think we have a very capable scouting team, and we are monitoring a huge number of players."

Players including Leo Scienza, Shea Charles and Taylor Harwood-Bellis played a key role and could now gather the attention of Premier League sides this summer.

While Solak said the club do not need to sell their best players, if an offer makes sense to them, they would not stand in their way.

"We don't have any pressure (to sell) that's for sure," Solak added.

"We want to have the best possible team and do what is good for certain players, in order to keep the flow of talent coming, sometimes it's needed to show the next step.

"If a player wants to play for Manchester United, if a young player thinks I'm not ready for them but I should go to Southampton because they will give me a chance and develop me, I will end up where I dream.

"So at the moment we have our place in the food chain which I'm not necessarily against, and we'll see whether we can change this reality in years to come, but this is where we are now."

It's a pointless thing to post. Very obviously we will have to wait until the end of the window to see what signings we make. If we do sell the remaining three big players at this point though (not saying we will) then we will still be significantly disadvantaged by the fact that we will have to bed in a load of new players when having a fast start is more imperative than ever.

Instinctively I don't believe this. If it were true and I were West ham I'd be bidding 25 million immediately and absolutely pissing the league. I don't think we'd sell him that low.

To be fair, what a use of the word 'minge', well played sir.

Jack Rosser is incredibly reliable for us so I’d imagine that’s true. Not a good figure whatsoever especially to come out a day before the season starts. I’d have expected at least the same as we got for Shea.

£25m, which City would get £1m of, take away another £8m or so for Ahmedhodzic as the replacement leaves us with around £16m profit from the moves.

It’s okay financially, but I see THB as the real leader of this team and think it’d be a huge blow for that reason. However I expected to lose THB, Jander and Scienza without much of a fuss so I can’t be too surprised.

I think we have to hold our nerve and see where we’re at come the end of the window. However that said, given the speculation around current players and who we’ve got through the door so far I’m not overly impressed.

So signing the best goalkeeper in the league and a Canadian international who scored a load of useful goals when unfit, is now fit, knows the system and really wants to be here - despite us having a 4 point deduction and a manager under threat from the FA - that's unimpressive is it? 
I bet your wife makes Sekou Mara's mum look like Shrek.
