For more transfer speculation we’ll all study the line up tomorrow to see who is missing, and reasons given. 

I've got my 'excuses fabricated by the club' bingo card at the ready... 

"Picked up a knock in training" 

"Caught a virus"

"Had a chicken dinner at Flyn Downes' gaff"

To the point of being utterly meaningless.

Will our THB replacement choose to go back to Sheffield United over us?

It is but it would certainly be viewed as deceptive if we did sell all four at this stage given the impression it leaves.

Its worth remembering that we do still need a tidy wedge on players weve bought, so might need to create some cpaital, but i wouldnt want that to be a starting player.

 

All parachute payments go to the covid loan debt.

Do you have evidence for this? That's quite a big revelation if true that I wasn't aware of if 100% of our parachute payments are going on servicing covid loans.

Yes please - he was decent for the Blades and is bang at his peak.

Agree. Would really soften the blow of losing THB.

Are you saying the current loan specifies that the entire £35-40m we get for this season is used to pay down the debt?

given how long he has been here, I suspect anything over 6 or 7M is a profit.

It's a game of chess, The club are really saying he is not for sale, a reported £30 m price tag makes a move unlikely but is a sop but not a flat refusal to a player who maybe does want to move on.

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.

Those two players were here already so not impressive at all. Promotion will be impossible if THB, Scienza and Jander bugger off as well as Stewart and Charles and especially given the likelihood of an Eckert ban
