    I had hoped we were finished with the damn loan system. Doesn't work for us. We either pay huge amounts to sign unused players like Eddie and big Kev, rehab crocks or get a gem like White, maker him ten times better and his value, then have to hand him back. Surely its time to move on from this ridiculous business model now were back on the big stage <doh>

    Knowing Bielsa, he'll be getting trained as our new 'keeper. :D

    I know our payout has been huge using loans, but imagine how you'd feel if we'd bought them all & they were failures?

    Id much prefer we were signing successes. Brentfor seem to be able to scout, buy them and sell on at a profit. Our cash is always going outwards whichever way we sign them

    Good Morning to Matt Doc WJ and co from a wet BardseyI thought we are due an heat wave !
    Went to Whitby yesterday giving the car a run out as my car has failed its MOT for the first time in 20 years so I was gutted.However I found an old school mechanic and he says he will put her right again.She has never ever let me down so I'mhardly going to let her die
    In whitby which I must say was busier than I have ever seen it no was wearing a face mask
    Whats happened to Geldard and Foyth we certainly need the latter along with White Whilst a striker or 2 are needed

    Young Gelhart should sign this week along with the young kid from Linfield. Gelhart will initially be going to the U23s with a view of bringing him into the 1st team set up as soon as possible. A lot of expectations on him.

    Gelhart and Allen are both hot prospects. To get them both will really put the academy on the map

    Nathan Ake will leave Bournemouth for Man City for £40m which means Bournemouth fire sale has started already

    Was just going to post this too.

    What does this do to White’s valuation?

    Citeh also signed a player from spain yesterday for 22m, 60m in 2 days!
    And some were thinking players prices would drop this year, doesn't look like it.

    Worrying, but Ake has played over 100 games in the Premier League so he should command significantly more than White - I hope !!!!!

    Ake going to City means one less team wanting to sign White. That leaves Liverpool Man Utd who can beat us on the contract offer and price, anyone else will struggle to beat Leeds on price willing to pay. Then White himself may decide he wants to stay at Leeds where he will get to play every week?

    BHA did nothing for White and the kid has never had a chance down there, just loanes out to the likes of Newport and Peterborogh. Brighton won the lottery with this kid and all thanks to Bielsa, so I hope White tells Potter to fk off and gets a transfer to Leeds

    Ake was valued recently at 50m so his valuation has dropped by 20% White has never been tested in the PL so I value him at 15m

    How about Ramsdale from Bournemouth? Heard good things about him. Any good with his feet though?

    hear Ramsdale was on bis way elsewhere yesterday but cant remember details. Bielsa was watching someone though and we know we need a keeper and so we can only guess who he was looking at:

    Ramsdale
    king
    Wilson
    Brooks
    ..?
