    that’s a good point. When their load is spent we are next in line I suppose. It’s like dining at a table with 6 chairs. You wait for one of the fat ****s to fill their belly then **** off to have a sleep.

    Yep that's how it kinda works.. But they're so greedy they can just keep going I bet. I've asked myself the question recently if they're in cahoots.

    Remind me when I do sell my house or car in the future to tell this forum first, that way I’ll get the asking price (or more) with no negotiation or bartering involved, cheers

    I think him and hope feed on stirring the pot on a professional basis. I can remember Steve Bruce talking about them and while Steve was his own worst enemy at times, I absolutely agreed with him regarding the local journalists.

    So it turns out that we couldn't sign Trafford given the buy back clause. Man City had to officially confirm that they wouldn't be exercising the option and as they never did we could not step in to sign him.

    There should really be a time limit with these things.

    Premier League football contracts seem to be the exception.

    You do have to ask the question what the **** is going on inside the club.

    Eales replacement - No update.
    Mitchell's replacement - No update
    Once signing so far despite knowing we desperately need to strengthen the squad.

    No communication whatsoever yet they will peddle new Adidas products weekly.

    I'd read elsewhere that it was closer to £200m that Al-Hilal were rumoured to be willing to offer for him.

    I think the Saudi's plan is to take the best talent from the PL over time....
