Looks like if it is more a question of the compo he wants from Sunderland to match his wages here than whether he is going to sign or not. Let's hope we can get him for a song and if we stay up.pay him a premier league wage for the subsequent years. Go-on Elmo, but don't try and force the...

Okay, we've lost Dawson but looks like we might just be signing someone of excellent experience and more proven quality in Figueroa. Is that sufficient for the squad in the premier league? We have Dudgeon who was looking very promising at Championship level, is young and has room to develop as...

That will be a lot more risky as it will give the player a chance to renegotiate his deal at the end of the "loan" due to the need for separate contracts. If it has been a successful spell and the value of the player has increased, or there is outside interest then there is no guarantee the...

D/P. (Them Scouser chicks love it!)

Wow, you still have a ****house? I didn't realise you lived in Liverpool. Still, plenty of easy birds and cheap hub-caps to replace the ones that have been nicked eh? What does rat stew really taste like? Must go there one day for one of those traditional dust-bin take-away's I keep hearing...

Filthy bastard. What kind of filth is he into? Hope it's pure filth, as opposed to that really crap kind of filth referred to on another thread in relation to Tulisa.

Which is why it is well known to be the footballer's substance of choice. Charlie likes a bit of Charlie eh? Shocking. (!)

In all honesty we need 2 permanent solutions ( with Jak as a third), though finding a decent enough no2 depends on both the right talent and temprament - probably harder to find than a good no 1. Stevie Harper has a fantastic rep in Newcastle for both his longevity of service and doing the...

There will be no enhanced value as he's already the championship keeper of the season with a year left on his deal. In January he may still be the best keeper in the championship (no change) but only be 6 months away from being available for free. Obviously if he was proving himself at a higher...

Man City have proved nothing as the rules have only just come into play this coming season. They have also been warned by UEFA that they are at risk.

It isn't like he lost out is it? There wasn't much of a future for him at Notts Co once the money dried up and I doubt he wanted to be playing in the lower leagues, even if he was on big money as it would have held back his career hugely. I read an interview after he move from leeds where he...

I can see why you would hope that, but I can't see you having a top 3 or 4 wage-bill next season. If the rules are enforced, then any club with parachute money is theoretically going to be capable of investing more than you in the playing squad next year - i.e. anyone who has been relegated over...

As I said before, If the player was not going to re-sign and we were faced with losing him for nothing then we would have to take what we could get, as the player holds most of the cards in that situation. Obviously, if we were only going to get 875K now, we wouldn't have much to lose by...

Not only that, no club playing at a higher level who's managed by one of his father's pals, has a childhood friend in the squad and is going to offer him first team football has yet made a firm bid for Chester. Given that Bruce Junior went to the same school as Kasper, grew up as neighbours...

Yeah, but if a Europa league or established prem club came in for Chester, offering first-team football and the same or more money we were, I wouldn't be expecting him to stay. If we offer Kasper the same deal you are, the No1 jersey and football at a higher level then I would similarly expect...

Will be interesting to see what he eventually goes for then, won't it? IFAIK, Stockdale has longer on his contract at Fulham, which increases their bargaining power and regardless, the same money for Stockdale of Schmeichel? I'd say Schmeichel represents better value, but it seems Alan Mcgregor...

If chezzy indicated he was not going to sign a new deal we would be left having to get what we could for him with our bargaining position significantly reduced as per your situation with Kasper. We would however at least be able to offer regular first team football at the same level as his...

"In early February UEFA reminded clubs that they would be expected to prove that they were not trying to bypass FFP by entering into inflated sponsorship deals with parties closely associated with their owners.[181] The warning came in the wake of an announcement that Paris Saint-Germain had...

FFP means your spending is linked to club turnover. Owners cannot just throw money at the team in the form of gifts or interest free loans any more. You really think Leicester's club turnover plus £6m is going to be anywhere near any premiership club turnover (or even recently relegated...

I'm sure we'll pay what we have to. It's called negotiation.... If no other club comes in, 2.5m will probably do it.
