Some fire sale that turned out to be. Tell everyone all your players are for sale, refuse any sensible bids, then declare no-one is leaving.
I've got a feeling Kei might do well, if not he's only a loan who we can send back and no real loss. Championship players we all know can step it up in the next league, so who knows. But I think we have a capable squad to keep us up.
I didn't say that, but VVW seems extremely unlikely to me and we haven't heard any other names mentioned. If we get someone now it'll be completely out of left-field, and I don't want us to sign another player who hasn't played at a higher level than the Championship...
RVW has suffered delays beyond our control. Beyond his third party ownership Lisbon have struggled to find a replacement for him. Think they ****ed up a loan deal.
Niall Quinn has just said on SSN that "koo pee arr are very fortunate to have Tony Fernandes spending so much money on the squad". Yeah, until they don't have a club to support in a few years time after going completely bankrupt

You mean like this? Which was said after the first bid weeks ago... "We are in a good position. We don't want to sell, we feel we have a lot to look forward to in the second half of the season," said the manager. "We don't want any of our top players to go and Gary comes into that bracket. I've not spoken to him because I was with his representatives most of the morning. I'm sure they'll have a discussion later on. Our case is simple - you are not going."
That's all fine, but when a club comes back another 3 times surely you would of said, look, really we mean no
Fair enough, but they should have set a clearer asking price or said he categorically wasn't for sale. Norwich should have tabled a more serious bid sooner though, perhaps we left it too late.
I'm sure for us to keep coming back with bids there must have been some reason to encourage us. If not, then why waste time for both teams.
