Saint Quincy!

"So then, about that extra £5million. What's your account number again?..."

 

Fact?

 

It’s four o’clock in the morning and it’s starting to get light...


Loved that album.

 

I don't have a seat any more...I have eaten the cushions.

 

I really hope Jim White is behind all this and has done a deal with Les to keep his ****ty deadline day show alive.

 

Dear Leslie,

I know you like to get a good deal and get players for a little bit less than their actual value. I’ll admit that in the past you have pulled a few blinders.

However, just this one time, please just pay the amount they want. The extra £5m compared is nothing compared to the cost of relegation.

 

Should we be worried about the sanity of a player that wants to join us.

 

That's what's holding up the contracts. Live footage of the negotiations:

 

I guess we need to make sure that the fax machine is properly plugged in and working like a charm

 

'No deal is better than a bad deal'


I've heard that before

 

Not true in either case, imo.

 

I do hope he’s rather good after all this. Got a lot resting on his shoulders here!

 

Anyone know if that means we can sell Forster for that?!

 

Anyone leaving before the window closes beef?

 

If indeed the extra £5m story is true, which at this point is just a story that has gathered pace.

 

Have we signed him yet?

 

Never know because the Echo is the Echo, but their take on events isn't exactly 'done deal' territory:

I wouldn’t take too much notice of the Echo. They don’t have real reporters any more. What they publish is normally the result of a google search

 

That's what I had been guessing pretty much since I heard the 25m bid.

I could only imagine we were going forward with this if we were prepared to meet the clause. And once hints started to come out that promes was interested I was confident it would get done.

But now it feels like alderweireld all over again.we're bidding the amount we thought we agreed on which turns out to be wrong due to contract clauses and we're to stubborn to change our bid.

But I'm just guessing. And I hope there's still some negotiation to be had here. Reports saif we bid more for alderweireld but by that point spurs had come in and he was gone.
