This bad history you talk of, I assume you're referring to the likes of Locadia, Andone. You cannot expect every player we buy to be developed into a a £60m windfall. On the whole, since promotion, our recruitment is right more often that it is wrong. Gross, Veltman, Welbeck, Maupay...

And how often to do you criticise the club when they sell a player before his contract is up? You can't have it both ways. You really see putting in a transfer request as downing tools?

Don't agree and to be honest, I don't understand any logic to your comment. Biss went for a knockdown fee because he refused to sign a new contract. We could be getting our record fee for MC because he was under a long contract. Biss cost us a lot of money. However, in neither case does...

Not really, when people come up with phrases like 'I think the reason the deal has stalled is because' etc, that's a guess! At the end of the day, discussing the transfers is fair game but it does get a bit pathetic when some, not all, are turning against a player for just pursuing his career...

Don't you just love football? A bunch of fans who aren't involved in any of the negotiations guessing why the deal hasn't been agreed either for MC or Colwill. You've also got load starting to slate a young man who has the audacity to want to ply his trade at the highest level and for a...

So during his tenure at Palace, Jordan never sold a player before their contract was up! If someone came and made good offer for a player he never let them go. I have no problem with the fact that MC is moving to a bigger club (even though I can't stand the top 6). If I was a professional...

Where's your evidence he's in spain?

Has anyone considered Lamptey as the LWB option. I know he's right footed but there have been plenty of players that have succeeded playing on the 'wrong' side. That allows Veltman to stay on the right. Just a thought.

It has. I cannot fathom why people continually think that a player has to live within walking distance of the ground!!!

If you won more you could help others in your wider community, not just your family!

You need to read more carefully. As others have said, there are many players that support extended families at home, give to charities etc. I believe George Weah financed a hospital in Liberia.

What has your last sentence got to do with it? You asked why move when you are comfortable. Loads have given reasons.

I think you are in a very small minority. He could get a career ending injury next season and on the salary here, he could probably live relatively comfortably however if he had the same injury on the better contract then more of his family are going to be secure. Oh, and we're not playing in...

Why wouldn't it? He's only a year into a contract here and he's leaving so why, if Barca offer the right fee, would he not go to them from Chelsea?

To be fair, he wouldn't actually have to move to London. Chelsea train at Cobham so easy to get to. Only has to go to Stamford Bridge every other week. Kids stay settled and wife happy.

Bit harsh on Guardiola, he's won CL with Barcelona and has won domestic titles in 3 out of the 5 big European leagues. Out of interest, how many 'greats' are you comparing him to?

I suspect the transfer request will have to be in writing. I believe that if the club sell a player they are likely contractually obliged to make certain payments to him however if they request a transfer then he gives up that right.

Thought with White we said £50m from the off. Aresnal offered X, we said £50m, Arsenal then offered X + a bit more, we said £50m, Arsenal then offered X + a bit more + a bit more. We still said £50 so they eventually paid our first valuation. t If TB sticks to that, ie doesn't haggle, then I'm...

He only goes if they meet TB's valuation, simple as that. They can easily pay it but it's a question as to whether they want to go that high. All this crap about tweets stating City are ready to make a bid. If they're ready then just pick up the phone to TB and make the bid instead all these...

I believe TB when he says there has been no bid but I suspect Man City have leaked info to some twitter accounts to try and unsettle the player.
