Good read.

 

Sky sports are now reporting we are on the verge of striking an agreement with Leverkusen, will just be going of Keith Downie’s info but again it all suggests talks with Bayer are positive

 

I would but i got banned from their years ago for upsetting a few of the ones that can give it out but not take abuse back

 

Honestly one day the world is going to take notice about the speed and turnaround under KLD.

People are going to stop talking about doing a Brighton and start talking about doing a Sunderland.

 

He'll be huge. Holding midfielder or as a box to box will be great in both imo. Proper proper leader too and will demand standards (not that I think he'll need to).

I can see him being captain but I dont think it matters much, he'll absolutely be the leader in that midfield with or without the arm band.

Happy with Neil keeping it if he commits his future but he's got a hell of a task getting into the 11 now. But that's how it should be and its up to him to get into the 11.

 

I’m praying we don’t **** up the fee negotiations

 

I thought that as well. maybe it's the Lucumi link posted a few above this one that seems to have been overlooked with all of the elation about Xhaka.

What a signing Xhaka would be mind.

 

I genuinely feel like crying, how far we have come

 

Miserable bastards!

 

Keep the faith my mate.

 

From Josh Scowen to Granit Xhaka in the blink of an eye.

 

We signed Callum Styles last year…

 

Exactly

 

there are certain players from the L1 days that shal never be mentioned again

 

I'm confident this is close now mate. Agent trying to push it on, there's no future for him at Leverkusen now his agent has said that really.

Keith saying its close too, he's usually the reporter to say when things aren't as close as others are reporting even if there are talks ongoing.

 

You shouldn’t have told the poor lad it goes on for ever and ever and ever and ever, feel free to add as many as you want but you won’t reach the end in your lifetime

 

Been in a meeting assuming I’ve missed nothing?

 

When KLD took over was it Kevin Philips who said that it’s a good thing Donald was still around to give advice as KLD is too young to run a football club?

Best owner ever?

sustainably getting better and better.
