OK thanks. A new one on me though.

Basically agree - but have no idea what holstering hammers is all about!

So you think that any negotiations now won't start with 'We know you've just trousered £21M going on to £27M quid'? Blimey!

Wonder why they're so desperate to make sure the world never knows he was sold for £21M, with add-ins potentially increasing to £27M. I bet they're all crossing their fingers and hoping the secret never gets out!

Last minute swoop by Chelsea? Another £20M for us?

Worringly, hasn't Caicedo recently hired one of these too?

Offered? Oh yeh - who by? Not, I suspect, by Brighton and Hove Albion!

My way or the highway - what's not to like?

Once Trossard and his agent have blurted out their stuff, every option is sub-optimal. Fine him?- sub-optimal; Don't fine him?- sub-optimal; Make a club statement?- sub-optimal; Keep quiet- sub-optimal; Fingers in ears - meh, meh, meh - ignore it? - sub-optimal; Ask Swansman what to do?-...

Ten Hag has rigtly been praised for his no nonsense approach to Ronaldo and Rashford; De Zerbi has done the same - kudos to RDZ! Reconcile by all means if possible - but that's Trossard's move right now. If he chooses not to, he can train on his own, or better still with the U21s - football-wise...

Can't see a place - certainly not a regular starting one - for him at any of the 'Top Six' now. So, it's abroad, or Villa, Everton. Leicester, Forest I reckon ..................... or Palace. Abroad the most likely, I think.

Yeh, but wherever he goes it will be his £50 or £60K a week loss. My heart bleeds ...........................................

De Zerbi doing just what Potter should be doing at Chelsea. Several candidates available....................

Sorry! :lolol:

"nothing interesting EVER hairband at a press conference".................... contender for NSC quote of the year?

£50K a week (give or take a few £1000s) doesn't buy apologies in this day and age!

I don't even remember a 'Transfer Just' before that TBH...........................

Which, to be fair, might have worked just as well. Us old dinosaurs live in strange times!

The agent wasn't very ITK then! Not a good idea to go public in the way he/she/it did! When conducting negotiations, best not to piss off the major players, especially the ones holding all the big cards!

Maybe. We could play really hard ball and keep him here while his value diminishes - teach him and his agent the difference between furthering their career and trying to sulk their way to big bucks. Might cost us a few million - but compared ti rhw amounts we are dealing with for sales of our...
