Cortese normally gets his way (see how much he made us pay for AOC as proof) so i wouldn't worry too much.
He's chosen us! It's a matter of agreeing a fee with the club now - their chairman is being a bit of a ****.
How did we get permisasion to talk to him without agreeing a fee?
How did we get permisasion to talk to him without agreeing a fee? Their chairman has really ****ed things up if the club has accepted 5m euros less than he wanted. Their chairman has previous in this sort of thing, so Cortese might be prepared to hammer out a compromise to get this done quickly. We don't have time to get the football authorities involved if we want this done before deadline day.
Not really, we will get 40% of the profits if he gets sold.Nah but Chamberlain will be worth way more than that in the future. You got him for a snip.
**** me a fan of a big club being nice to us? This is rare!

You're not stealing our transfer targets, your stealing our arch enemies transfer target, which is funny, so no need to be mean to you (yet)
I don't know but in both the Davis and Clyne deals he seemed to do a kind of "**** it, this is my compensation offer, take it or leave it, if you leave it we kidnap your family" sort of thing. Hoping for much the same here.
.Various articles when we sold him at the time.Really? Where did you hear that?
We've done them over if so![]()

Six foot tall attacking midfielder who scores goals and can perform skills that defy the expectation of supporters and team-mates alike.......I'm sure we had one of those not too long ago.....

In fairness though, £150k p/a is nothing for a PL footballer. When you're talking about million(s) being earnt each year, taking into account the 20% and 40% tax bands involved in that first £150k wont make a greal deal of difference (no personal allowance of course, as he'd be well over £100k p/a).
Any way, I'll believe this when I actually see it. My hopes are by no means up.
Yeh but I think this one is perhaps a little less enigmatic, and brilliant, and perhaps thinner and faster![]()
Fingers crossed eh? It would be lovely to have another one of those strutting round the premiership......anyhow, the "other" one was quite sylph-like when he first started too.....it can happen to the best of us!
He was indeed. That goal when it was muddy and snowy, forgotten who it was against, but he ran the whole length of the pitch, scored at the second attempt. Wasn't slow when he was young.
