Question guys - (after our keeper buy today) How much have we spent, so far, without add-ons, and not including the approx £43m recouped from sales?
We can’t offer more than we think he deserves either. If we pay too much and he fails we’re stuck with him.
Downie said fans were saying to him, "we aren't actually getting xhaka are we" - he kept telling them he thinks we are. KLD wanted the deal done no matter what; it wasn't a case of haggling over a fee. First offer was 9-10m but as soon as Xhaka told us he wanted to come, KLD just said What do u want to get this done?, here you go. Flew him out himself in a lovely private jet and laid the red carpet down for him.
On the dried stains use Fairy Liquid, not just for man fat it works on anything. Undiluted onto the offending mark and leave for 15 minutes then in the washer with all your other clothes. Unbelievable at hiding the tell tale jostle marks.
Downie thinks after speaking to RLB, there's a hint of frustration as he wants the experience to come in sooner and he doesn't want fans to think this is the finished product for the window
I actually subscribe to his channel, worth every penny in my opinion. If a few more did he’d post on here. I’ve no idea why he hits the nail on the head so often and doesn’t use a big hammer … … he obviously does his research but it’s his intuition that makes the difference for me. I watch our games with a high degree of nervous tension so often don’t have a clue what tactics Reg is employing
He was told Mepham is not the profile we are looking for at the back. We are looking for a big, fast, physical CB at least one or two. He also thinks the likes of Mayenda and Isidor will improve in the PL as their attributes suit it.
