    If we spend 90m more than we have already and sign a striker and a RW that far exceeds any of my expectations.

    What doesn't exceed my expectations is a Sky News reporter, standing outside a football stadium and blathering off rumours he has heard without any sort of backing.

    He told us the takeover was dead and buried while idiots on twitter contradicted him every single time then one week later was standing there announcing the takeover. He hasn't got a clue.

    It's not Downie's fault that his "source close to the club" is a friend of GG.

    90 million more or 90 million included in what we’ve already spent? I’m baffled to why we don’t go towards the free agency. It might mean we pay a bit extra in wages but what a great signing Belotti would be. Why we didn’t go for tarkowski as backup aswell I have no clue. His wages wouldn’t have been huge.

    He said 60 plus commercial deals plus player sales plus other things sales so it's not far wrong.

    He did not at all in good first statement. Nor did he mention commercial deals at the stage of when he then included player sales. I presume then we sold Woodman for around £20m

    so that's a hell of a margin to fit into, not giving much is he

    it's like me saying we will spend between 60 and 200million, I know I'm going to be correct

    I suppose that's just the reality though because player sales and prices are approximated.

    Ultimately he said 60 to 100, but fans jumped on the 60 and jumped in with both feet because they didn't like hearing it and don't like him.

    If he's right and they were out there buying the Nunez, Paqueta and diaby links they'll be the one looking daft o n this one.

    Forget Edwards though look at what the club told us.... They don't believe Amanda Staveley, but some believe Sean cassey.

    No he never. he said £60m then at later dates added more and more arms n legs the more ridiculous his claim sounded.

    I feel like we have dodged a bullet on this one.

    His attitude and disrespect towards us.

    He may turn out to be a world class player but **** him.

    Clubs are allowed 5 subs from this season…i said it at the end of last season and I’ll say it again, our bench needs to be a ****ing **** load better than it has been for a long time and that has to be more of a priority for me. Defensively we are probably ok, but we need some way better options to change games if we’re chasing them in midfield and up front. If Wilson and Bruno get cattled for any length of time we’ll struggle. We need to ship at least 3-5 players out if not more and bring at least 3 more good quality players in as far as I’m concerned. We are far from done albeit we’ve made great progress and are very close to a very very good starting 11.

    You see this is where fans start throwing their toys out the pram.. He didn't want to come here that's just his personal choice and doesn't make him a bad person or that he did anything wrong.

    I said it all along he knows there's bigger clubs sniffing around and he wants to hold out for them.

    Where are they? ****ing nowhere. It was a bluff, it failed, he was called out and if he's lucky in 2 or 3 years playing for FC Lorient.

    I'll repeat the sentence.

    He knows there's interest and wants to hold out for them.. Interest doesn't mean offer... Yet..

    I tried to convey this to Roland but it never resonated, but he didn't turn down newcastle ( the biggest project in football) because Plymouth are keen .
