Not sure city will be that upset. Train the guy up. Sell him for 18m without making an appearance. Get another £10m in sell on fees and win the treble in the mean time.
We need more than one target, or at least pretend we do. If Soton know he's the only player we're considering they'll fleece us.
that tells you all you need to know. no club plays a guy who is subject of a serious bid. they would be mad to risk an injury
you'll get it somewhere but let's see if you fall for our threadbare shirts and sackcloth coats approach. by the end you'll be paying us to take morton on loan.
so where are we after the key preseason camp and before the commercial bullshit part of preseason? gk: so far we hope never ever to see Adrian let near a pitch again and seemingly hope thst kelleher won't be sold so that jaros and pitaluga go on loan rb: so far our only senior rb has not played rb. Bradley is our sole option rcb: konate hasn't got injured yet. matip looks even worse than before. lcb: vvd has tonimprove and play 38 games in the league cos Joe gomez is as bad as ever. lb: all fine as usual with Robertson and the Greek scouser. no 6: we don't have one. so might buy a kid to block another kid in bajcetic. lcm: could be macallister, could be gakpo. Jones is just back rcm: Szoboszlai and Elliott but macallister could go here too. lw: diaz, diaz and more diaz. I don't think we've put another senior player here yet. st: nunez on fire. jota just kicking about as per. rw: salah and the young lad who ran all over doak. I think we are all in agreement in buying 2 or 3 players
How much do you think we can convince Soton to pay us for taking Lavia off their hands? 10, 20 million?
Now we've got signing a 14 y/o out the way, we can focus on the lesser task of signing a #6. Still, he IS the next Owen. It's been a while since we've had an Owen. He's also less injured than MITO.
Well times are tough and that. we thought he loved us you know. (tears and stuff flowing at this point) bit he's going and left us sniff. them tell them about how the stand has turned into diy sos effort and its costing a bomb but most of all they can spend their profit off ward prowse and lavia on a top kid like morton
