    Well it was the only source for quite a while and they ended up being right, so maybe it was real.

    The chances are we have been in negotiations with them since then

    Id rather pay a little more but have it in longer installments and bonuses included in that than by €4 million less but it's all in a oner

    If he was our no1 target we would have been speaking to him and Bologna for a while

    Yeh completely agree. But the benefit of negotiating when he had a lower release clause would have been that Bologna would have been risking losing him for that release clause. They'd possibly have been more likely to accept a staggered 28m euro offer knowing that somebody else could come in and take him for 25m.

    now they don't have that threat they can just keep putting the ball back in our court and ask for more. which is seemingly what's happening

    Don't think the release clause will have made any difference in the negotiations unless we were going to pay it upfront. If we made it clear we weren't going too then Bologna would know it won't matter as part of negotiations

    At the minute it's all just rumours so we have no idea what prices are being discussed

    Could even be a new release clause in the new deal for all we know.

    We would never have offered it, no. But somebody else might have. Bologna would have risked losing him for his release clause if they kept asking us for more money in a staggered deal. Now they're not risking anything. They can keep asking for more money from us.

    Of course they can keep for more but we would have likely known if any other club was going to pay the release clause

    The club will pay what we feel he is worth and structure it how we feel is best

    I don't pay any attention whatsoever to what Regis says about transfers in press conferences. The guy is too good and careful and clever.

    He's a joy to listen to when talking about everything else.

    That’s RLB’s imminent signing smirk. I know that from anywhere.

    He just seems an incredibly nice guy as well, along with his deep intelligence and thoughtfulness.

    There aren't many managers I'd like to spend time with but he's one. Think he'd be amazing to work for either as a player or staff member.

    I also absolutlely love when he loses it when we score. About 5 seconds of furious fist pumping before getting back into the quiet zone.

    He does it all the time. Particularly his answer regarding Lucumi was interesting, notice how he mentions one more spot if not we stay as we are

    I have noticed that Ousmane Dembele hasn't posted on Instagram in the last 4 days. I think it's on
