If the plan is to sell our best players and not significantly reinforce with any additional quality then tony is less concerned about footballing achievements than I thought

most players except the entire argentina team until Mac was brought into the starting 11

yes it will be interesting to see how far we go with that this summer. caicedo is definitely gone, can see Mac going too, but in terms of proper first teamers being sold, that's where it has to stop for me, this summer. I will be especially gutted and probably very annoyed if we sell mitoma

must definitely be a clear consensus then. I'm happy for him to go. well not, happy, but he's behaved impeccably so far, and I want us to show players that if they behave properly and keep the toys firmly in the pram then they'll get their move

wants out this summer, or at least his agents do. same source that broke the story of him signing here

who cares? no surprise that they feel the way they do, but at the end of the day the falklands aren't Argentine and never will be, and the only opinions that matter are those of the folks who live there

can't see either leaving in January and I would hope we'd have at least one of them going into next season. Big job to replace two potentially world class players in the same part of the pitch

okay, I'll explain to you again what I meant by that as we're going in circles here. In the past, it has often been the case that players with release clauses leave their club for substantially less than the club would get had the clause not been there. that is a fact, I even provided you with...

right, so the net result is that we aren't being screwed out of a larger fee, as has been the case with other players who have had release clauses. which was my point.

depends how good you think the clubs word is. obviously there's less room for manoeuvre when it's written down, but I honestly believe if we verbally said a player could leave for x price and then we got an offer at x price we would let them go. my point overall in this situation is that I...

That's what i meant!! perhaps poor wording but that is what i meant by 'formal recognition'. i.e there's no way for us to backtrack as it is there written in ink, though I'm not convinced we'd do that anyway. If a player has a price we'd sell them at, then that's that, whether via a releasea...

how is that any different from our current transfer policy? the whole 'not standing in the way' thing is pretty much our bottom line, is it not? so as I said, a formal recognition between club and player that he can go for x price, as opposed to verbal

in this case wouldn't a release clause just be a formal recognition of what our transfer policy currently is anyway? as I understand, if a club meets the fee for the release clause, we are bound to accept it and that's all it really details (ignoring any small print, about when the clause might...

inter are broke, that's why they had to sell lukaku in the first place, and even after that there's still a big financial black hole. absolutely no chance they'd be able to meet our asking price, which will be well north of the figure quoted above

Very well worked assist from him today. Seems like we're really starting to see all that promise turn into actual numbers this season, and long may it continue, the boy's absolutely class.

I like him. he's a midfielder who is comfortable with the ball at his feet, actually likes to get forward and attack, isn't likely to kill a bystander with one of his shots and can keep up with our strikers. we seem to have a dearth that kind of player, I think we'll soon see that he offers...

think he's coped remarkably all things considered. and kudos to potter for ignoring some of the shouts to stick him straight in at the deep end, think a lot of people were frustrated with our run of results and saw him as perhaps an instant solution/boost, which was never going to work. I do...

he definitely has something about him, a very neat backheel and and frankly world class pass yesterday in a cameo appearance, just need him to get up to speed with the pace of the English game and we'll have another gem on our hands.

No, he's already got the permit as per the FA's panel. That's done now. Sorted. The issue is we're sh!te at the moment so may need him back to help with the survival push. Imo he's best suited staying in Argentina for now as I think we'll be okay and we don't want to have to rely on another...

Agree r.e Mac Allister but I think Tau was genuinely an investment only since the chances of him getting a work permit are so slim and always have been
