    Instead we getting fans trying to understand the intricate psychology of Levy’s bullshit tactics and weak minded leadership

    Should have moved on weeks ago or got it over the line

    instead let’s just embarrass THFC and make us look like the bottom feeders of the top6 that we are

    On the off chance anyone wants to hear Romano's name at the moment, he's reported that we're still pushing for him - but Definitely Not Soriano continues to be Veruca Salt with a hangover

    There's definitely an issue in the landscape of the transfer market in how certain clubs are now using players as a commodity in a secondary market based on sell-on fees

    Off the top of my head we can say the following clubs are certainly doing it
    The Sheikh Mansour Team (Taylor Harwood-Bellis, James McAtee, Farid Alfa-Ruprecht)
    Chelsea (Marc Guehi, Renato Veiga)
    Los Ladrones do Madrid (Nico Paz, Chema Andres)
    PSG (Xavi Simons)
    Juventus (Dean Huijsen, Franco Israel)
    Barcelona (Ilaex Moriba, and there would be more but certain dumbasses already triggered those clauses for Jean-Clair Todibo and Nico Gonzalez)

    Obviously we're far from innocent in this, as Troy Parrott and Josh Keeley have hefty sell-on clauses in their deals, but most of the listed clubs do it on a much larger scale - especially the Mansourites

    I sure hope that Paratici begins doing his magic soon and starts pulling some rabbits out of some hats.

    A loan with an obligation would negate that buyback clause, and as we found with both Romero, Porro and Lo Celso a loan can also skew the transfer in the favour of the club we're buying from and not two clubs ago

    The secondary market of sell-on clauses is looking a tad dodgy, considering how much the Mansourite fansites are openly talking about the players as sums of money and not human beings

    ...and right on cue Gary Jacob throws Nico Paz right back into the mix, with an Akliouche chaser

    For me, beyond the usual ifs, buts and maybes being offered to dig Levy out of this latest embarrassment, is the fact that our rivals lose a player to injury and have a replacement lined up and confirmed within 18 hours.

    Meanwhile we lose a better player to a worse injury, and 18 days later, nothing.

    There just isn't any urgency, nor has there ever been under ENIC.

    Looks like Morgan Rogers is next up on the "we tried" conveyor belt.

    Signing El Khannouss just to **** over Palace is the sort of spite I can get behind

    There are multiple reports about Morgan Rodgers and us.
    Some are saying we're not interested, others that he's a priority.
    I think it's extremely unlikely, at best. Villa's PSR **** won't be involved.

    Miguel Delaney says we're talking with intermediaries

    Michael Bridge says no interest

    At best I'm thinking it's cobbling together a story based on Emery saying he need funds, their PSR being abysmal, and the whole us needing a 10

    ...and of course Monaco bump up their asking price for Akliouche

    He’s a promising player with potential so I wouldn’t be against the signing, ideally he comes as well as an established playmaker rather than just him.

    You are spot on of course. Trouble is, we only found out we were backup, when his first choice opened up. We need to be smarter about who we chase, fully agree with that.

    Yep! Very Silly.

    Morgan Rodgers and this guy on loan would be a fantastic recovery for the window. I mean, are we trying to win the PL and the CL or what?!? <laugh>
