Two other clubs playing CL next season Ponks <cheers>

Might be Barnet and Scunthorpe Flos <whistle>

Anyway, apparently CL isn't a deal breaker. And reportedly we're in negotiations with him and his agent now.

Let's see what happens eh. Pray I don't have to rinse those bookmarks mate <laugh>

This pisses me off and makes me laugh at the absurdity of the stance and the idiocy of players at the same time.
Who in their right mind would consider signing a 4 or 5 year contract on the basis of being in the CL for maybe just 1 year ?

I don't take much notice of it tbh ... he may indeed want CL ... but I suspect whoever offers the most lucrative contract will get him, irrespective ... Juve were apparently interested but baulked at our asking price ... anything is possible, including keeping him until January if we don't get an offer that meets our expectations ...

That would be someone who knows a CL club is in a position to pay higher wages than a non CL club.

I can tell that you're nervous about all of your comments coming back to haunt you Flos, but let's just wait and see what happens first <ok>

Why would I be nervous Ponks? ... lad wants to move on... if your lot want to make the highest bid and he's happy with that so am I ... bit of a sideways move going to a club that will challenge for top 6, but less likely for top 4 (as proven <whistle>) as opposed to him supposedly wanting guaranteed CL ... but hey ho ... that's footballers for you ..

Fact is he will be much easier to find a replacement for (indeed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall might be a home grown one) than Maddison, Barnes, Vardy, Fofana and Justin ...who Brenda will be looking to build around ...

What you really need in midfield is a physical presence that isn't just an undisciplined twat like Xhaka ... but that's not really Youri ...

You're welcome

<cheers>

Why would you be "happy" with one of your best players joining a rival?

It weakens you and strengthens a team that you'll be competing with for Europe next season
