    IF, and it's a big IF, either, or both, are still here when the window closes, tell them both that offers will be considered during the January Window.
    It will be up to themselves to play well enough to attract attention.

    A win-win scenario for SAFC.

    We've told everyone they can leave. Kone and Lens are dead certs to leave imo. Doubt they'd be too pleased being forced to stay till Jan after being told they can leave this window.

    I get what your saying Bri but unless we get a decent offer for either of them then they have little choice then to bite the bullet and play for us, they are under contract for whatever that means these days. If the offer was 3M then they are taking the piss as Bain has shown we are not easy to roll over like we have in the recent past. Time will tell.

    I would reject the bid and refuse to deal with them unless they stop insulting us with stupid offers

    Could it be that Bain was on the Rangers Board at the same time as Daniel Levy, and he learned from the MASTER.:emoticon-0140-rofl:

    But I'm confident we'll get a fee we're happy with personally. Time in the window, we want to sell, they want to buy, I don't see any reason why won't sell him, typical low first bid imo. The water tester.

    I think other clubs will also be lodging bids in time. Clubs are still working on primary targets. Could be a few clubs come knocking once they lose out on the ones they wanted, other teams may not be able to bid until they've sold. Loads of time with with lots of variables ahead.

    One thing is for certain, time elapsing won't convince me he'll be staying, he wants to go and we're happy to let him.

    I think £6m is a fair price. Given they started at £3m I don't know if they'll go double.

    My worry is a Borini style deal where we lose Lens and only get a measly loan fee this summer

    I think Kone will go to Burnley or West Brom late in the window.

    Khazri I really don't know. Would love to keep him

    I reckon we want them to have a bidding war with Fernebache - start the bidding at £6m and go from there. In this market we should be aiming at double figures imo.

    I want Kone to FO - absolute poison, would take anything for him in all honesty.

    Honestly the least I'd accept for lens is £10million, players are going for stupid money in this transfer window, and honestly I think playing at his best he's worth that.

    Khazri would be one of the best players in the league if he stays.

    SON DAKİKA! Beşiktaş, Lens ile anlaşmaya vardı, Sunderland'le görüşmeler sürüyor.

    That drunken git for one.

    Just occurred to me? Is Gibson a loanee?

    If so, can't we just send him back?

    Today? Tomorrow?

    No we own him but he's out of contract in Jan. We only give him a year. Tick tock ;)
