Only on NOT 606 NUFC can we have a thread where the start of the page has Roy talking about choppers over his house and end in ****ing over zoom calls - This truly is the new takeover thread. It's had everything from betting rules, punishments, ****ing, plane spotting, depression, elation, vince macmahons, 205 pages in counting and 1 ****ing transfer on the 11th day.
So apparently Lille want €40m for Botman and we’ve put in a €35m bid……**** me just pay the extra €5m…..Bin Salmans spent more money on tea towels
I'm gonna sound like an ITK - I know something you don't know - That report is talking bollox. So is every report saying its dead which is what was expected today.
They're being clever.. They can't be seen to just give on easy on requests.. Send a message out this month that if you want reasonable money now on cash you can have it, but we will not be held to ransom. That's how I see it anyway
When in reality this bollox happens with every transfer involving every club dealing with the French - they change the goal posts which is what is happening here.
Amine Gouiri and Calvin Stengs would be 2 others also Jean Claire Todibo but he only just joined them in the summer from Barca
Munson rubbed off on me......I've just offered some **** on twitter an Avi change that the Botman deal isn't dead
I think we will have to accept that this is just how it is now when we go looking for players. We offer £x and the selling club say nah, actually we value the player at £5m or £10m more.....quite how we got Trippier for £12m is a mystery like but hey ho ! We need to have more than one target for each position we are looking to recruit for so that we make an offer, if that's turned down we move on. I do agree tho that for the sake of £5m which is nothing more than pocket change that we just offer what they want for him. If he's as good as everyone is saying he is then it's a no brainer. I'd rather we set our stall out and show clubs that we aren't gonna be held to ransom just cos we're ****ing loaded....that doesn't mean that every player is instantly worth £50m just cos we're interested. Have we managed to work out how much we need to pay Everton yet to take Longstaff off our hands just whilst I'm on.....and can we do the same with Shelvey and Fraser please?
