We didn't baulk, they rejected £12m and told us they were interested in an increased bid, as he wasn't for sale(though they seem happy to take £12m now).

We offered £12m, they said he wasn't for sale even if we increased our offer.

This year, they will sell him apparently for £15m, not £12m. Thought they'd just rejected a £12m bid actually, but not sure if I made that up in my head.
 
I remember them rejecting a couple of offers but did we go back with a 3rd or 4th offer? ..probably not. Instead we flushed £10m down the drain on Hernandez!

Whoever inserted this clause into his loan agreement wants a good kick to the bollocks. ****ing divs. had we not had the clause and still not wanted to keep him we could have probably still sold him for much more than £4.75m.

****ing bellends.

If we had played him in the right way (Bruce seemed to be contemplating it <laugh>, I know, that sounds daft <laugh>, but seriously, he did <laugh>) we would probably have got much more, one way or another.

You'd think we'd just let Lionel Messi leave going by Mr Hats comment, lets face it it Ince probably doesn't want to be at little ol' Hull City so good riddance to him and lets spend the money wisely, another mercenary toolbar sent on his way if you ask me

Have you got the slightest idea what you're talking about?

We could have got more based on his performances whilst on loan at Derby. That's exactly what the robbing bastards at Spurs did with us and Livermore. Wish we had dodged that bullet.

Do you really think the Allams let Bruce negotiate contracts and clauses?

I don't see how a manager of Bruce's stature could consider leaving crucial contract t&cs to a numpty like Ehab. It seems clear he did, so it also seems, to me, that he is taking the piss. Steve Bruce is using us for his own ends, but relegation was disastrous for him, he really never saw it coming - but many of us did (even though we tried to be upbeat), why the **** is he still here?

Brucies completely lost the plot - those players that he finished the season playing in the Prem like Macca and Quinny, he lets go - those players who he didn't think were good enough for the Prem and he loans out, like Maguire and Ince he now wants and those that are **** in the Prem and the Championship like Junior he gives them a multi year contract - Broadmoor awaits

Give it a rest posting complete ****e.

For me, the hype around Robertson and the big money is because of his attacking ability. Defensively, he is not as good as Brady and seems almost a liability at times. I don't know why Bruce hasn't yet played him in a more advanced position.

He did against someone, I forget now, brought him on as a LM. Think it was relatively early in the season though. Someone might have a better memory than me?
