    note that we are not self sustaining... fsg are giving interest free loans. we need to get into the cl to be self sustaining.

    just a clarification as its much better than h&G taking money out but we are not on our feet yet.

    Purposely left it out because I'm not sure <ok>

    Either way, he's another exciting prospect but I feel 20m is a lot for a youngster who plays in the Brazillian league.

    Reading through the old articles there were lots of different billionaire groups 'interested' and rumoured, but QIA are not amongst them. DIC were the ones who tried to buy us from H&G before the FSG buyout.

    By all accounts QIA have not shown an interest in buying us.

    Weren't DIC in financial trouble as a result of the crash in Dubai?

    Think I must have been thinking of the Ooredoo talk, they want/wanted to take our main sponsorship role and are owned/backed by the Qatar royal Family

    That would be a significant deal and one that could potentially launch us to a whole new level ... fingers crossed!

    Would much rather win the PL in 10 years time off our own backs than enter a money cheat and win it next year. Can't stand clubs like City, Chelsea, PSG, Monaco, Malaga and whoever else. Will be much more rewarding.

    20mill on Bernard is alot for a guy only proven in Brazil, never in Europe. Is he even proven in Brazil? Haven't heard of him until a few days ago so he surely can't be that good?

    One of the best talents in the country. Similar to how Coutinho and Neymar were hyped up.

    He came on as sub for the national side in the Confederations Cup. The crowd went mental over him but that was mostly because he was local to that venue, I think.
    i can't remember how he played, because I wasn't really taking note at the time.
    He's another "next big thing".

    Like saint said, he's another "next big thing". He looked class when he came on, and in the other matches he played in. He's in the Coutinho/Oscar mould, though I think Bluff knows quite a bit about him. He looks like an exciting player but 20m is steep, but I'm sure the scouts have seen a fair amount of him, still don't see it happening.

    He can play centrally or on the wing, and can use both feet.

    Exciting prospect but I fear lack of CL will hurt us.

    Also, I mentioned earlier that we have an interest in Bernard but I also mentioned that Downing rejected the chance to join West Ham in an £8m deal ...

    Haha. I think everyone ignored it because they don't want to believe it.

    Downing says that he wants to stay and fight for his place. Commendable attitude but he's simply not good enough. Please leave!

  19. Given the choice, I'd have taken the £8m but if he wants to stay and fight then I have no issue with that so long as he's not a first pick like last season.

    But he could reunite with Carrol and re-form the dynamic duo. I'm glad he hasn't though, with those two, WHU might be another competitor for us for that 4th CL spot.
