I know we have to wait and see what MS does in the rest of the window but at this point in time I am seriously concerned that we have (if these reports are true) trousered £20m+ and not spent a single penny on any incoming players. I know we have signed Henricksen and Evandro but they were before we sold Livermore and Snodgrass. Like I said I will wait until the window closes but this has a bit of a stench to it if you ask me.
It's logical to keep him. Our chances of staying up increase massively by keeping him, which will mean in future years our income is greater. If we sell him yes we get 10m short term, but lose all the Premier League money in future years (Bar parachute payments). That's what I don't get. We aren't a selling club, Ehab thinks long term. Evidence suggests otherwise.
Nearly everyone is happy with him leaving, The buying club are happy with signing a set piece expert with a bagful of goals already for a cheap price and crippling a rival in the process. Snodgrass himself is happy because he will get a substantial contract extension with I'm assuming a large pay rise. The owners are happy to have an extra £10m in their bank account. The only unhappy people are us... the thousands of fans,we don't count.
Buy expensive, sell cheap- the Ehaw Allam key to success Burnley had a surplus of £40m last season, why TF did we accept their low (start) bid?
Silva getting a decent performance without Snodgrass against Chelsea just made it easy for football ignoramus Ehab. Does anyone really expect more than 10 bob to be spent of the Snodgrass and Livermore money?
"Right lads we've got 4 players left and no stadium but in silva we trust!!!!" Don't get me wrong he seems a good gaffer but at the minute ehab is doing nothing for him, don't be blind to these loan signings we've sold two of our stronger players in exchange for some huge gambles. Snodgrass is irreplaceable at this moment in time for £10m, probably even £20m. Just had a lengthy argument with a young lad buzzing that we had a Liverpool player and he wasn't that arsed we've lost Snodgrass and it's driving me mad. Harry and Robbo to follow, starting to think marco is here for a pay day and ehab is using him as a cover to destroy the team, hence the 6 month contract...
If 4 clubs are actually after him and not some agents crap, say one of the others say we'll go 12 million, you think we would say no just give us 10.... the offer isn't chiselled in stone.. until and actual contract is signed any other club can gazump another. It ****ing happened to me on a few houses I've tried to buy.... Sell him to the ****ing highest bidder...
I really don't get it when people say that his all round game is average and all he brings to the table( slipped into Browny mode there) is set pieces and half our goals and assists . **** me, what more do you want? It's reminiscent of the criticism Lineker used to get........ does nowt for 89 minutes and then taps the winner in from six yards.
Of course we can. A contract isn't legally binding until the goods have been despatched. We have agreed a price, nothing more. That price can be subject to change.
cash sales going out. Loanees coming in. Take salaries of Livermore and Snodgrass ..and use them to pay loanees...tuck away cash from sales. Would like to see perm signings to prove my doubts wrong
£10 million for Snoddy ? Well somebody is going to get a bargain Have a look round at prices for other players in the premier league if you think that's a lot of money , especially ones who can actually score goals
I dread to think how much tutting and frowning will be going on Thursday night after all this. Could spoil the occasion for some.. Allam's OUT
Nor I, just pointing out that there's nothing stopping us from changing the price. And given how so many posters on here keep telling us how the Allams love to keep bumping up prices, well it's obviously going to happen isn't it. Personal terms agreed, medical completed. That'll be £20m now thanks.
Off topic what's the Tymon situation. I know he's extended his scholarship but surely anyone can still cherry pick him for nowt?
