    Yes, that's quite usual at clubs.

    What isn't is that a player could insist on leaving mid season, for a set fee, with no other club allowed to make an offer.

    That wouldn't even be ethical.

    I don't think anyone has suggested that have they? Apologies if they have because that definitely wouldn't be the case.

    Oh 100%, I’m not denying it won’t happen. But it shouldn’t put posters off giving us snippets because people are weapons :emoticon-0102-bigsm I couldn’t piss my pants over every player we haven’t signed this window if nobody posted

    nobody has said that’s happening? Nobody has said no other clubs can make an offer. You’re literally inventing arguments to argue with.

    AA was absolutely frozen out. He wouldn’t have got games without the Mundle/Tommy injuries.

    I agree he’s been launched now.

    You said he wouldn't play for the club again because of a rift with RLB.

    Then you kept claiming he'd been banished.

    Now you've just said he hasn't played again for us.

    How on earth is that clear in any possible way ... you're wrong on every count.

    This is exactly what doesn't make sense. Cannot run a club like that.

    I think we've done a good job of offloading our untrusted players this window mind. It's one of the hardest things in football to get lesser players out the door. You see top clubs struggling with this all the time, Man Utd being a prime example.

    Bellingham has had interest all the time every window, he loves it here. Family love it here, no way he leaves this window.

    He was.

    Under 21 only.

    Desperation mode and got a game

    Gone in Jan.

    I knew I was was right. The fact he is at Portsmouth shows this.

    I’ll say my view again. AA is neat but not productive. Poor final balls and shots that make you go ‘ooh’. If we had him and Roberts as part of an attacking 3 or 4 we’d be shy of goals. I’d replace both.

    Nobody seems to have any idea what they're saying ...

    ... it's one claim forwards and two backtracks back.

    So please, clarify and tell me what's actually been said.

    Not to be underestimated. Being stuck with dead wood kills the wage structure just as much as overpaying players.

    No one is saying we agreed a set price with Jobe that simply is far too basic

    we said we won’t stand in his way if the offer is deemed acceptable

    this man united and Italian offer would be that, but I’d say if it was in the summer, not at the end of the January window, that price is higher and Jobe himself has made it clear he wants to finish the season here

    I am personally not worried

    nobody has said that’s the case though. He’s invented that somebody has said that.
