    I think it's safe to say that if JayRod hadn't injured himself we'd have sold him as well. Nothing against Jay's character more against our board's lack of a spine.

    Exactly. Barkley, Baines, Jagielka - I'd bet that these lauded CL outfits would bid for all of those if they thought they had the slightest sniff of converting a deal. We feel like Supermarket Sweep right now. Please, please, after you...

    And what if Mopo suddenly decides he really wants Clyne? Oh dear, there goes another one.

    No it's not. He'll be in the England squad for the large majority of his career.

    Are we all guilty of a premature meltdown? I think we should wait until we sell him before ****ting our pants.

    We don't need money. It's a disgrace.

    Okay, my minor meltdown is over for the moment. I'm going to wait and see who trots out on the first day of the season and what our strangely now quiet board have to say.

    Just hope Ron brought his boots with him from the Netherlands.....

    Yes they are Beef, of course, but the comparison isn't completely invalid.

    I'd suggest making that first game in September, after the window has closed. Then we'll know.

    He could end up **** or injured and quit the game. 16m as he is now is a lot.(not saying I want him to go)

    Hell, Baines even put in a transfer request last summer and they didn't sell him. The sheer volume of players leaving suggests the lack of ambition line may be close to the truth.

    It's becoming increasingly apparent why we signed Ronald, Erwin and Sammy Lee...

    Yeah, but we'll start having an idea soon. My dad always ignored football until September anyway - he considered August "still the cricket season".

    I may follow his lead.

    And he might not be. It is a lot of money.

    Main difference between us and Everton is that they pay a lot more in wages so players probably more inclined to stay.

    Oh and that they are regularly finishing top 6/8 and we have done it once

    Agree with Beefy, one good season in the PL doesn't make us as good or attractive as Everton. It seems our ambition to get there eventually went with Cortese.
