    You don’t tend to bid and have an offer accepted if you want someone else more. Because if the player accepted you’d pull out of the deal and ruffle a lot of feathers. So that point doesn’t seem like it is right

    It is perfectly reasonable to at least raise an eyebrow at being beaten to signings by Ipswich because it can easily be interpreted as meaning we aren’t going to win any competition for a player where another premier league club is interested unless we offer a disproportionate salary or guarantee game time that others won’t. Not the most ideal of positions

    Of course this might not actually mean this. But it doesn’t take too many steps to get to that position and I’m not sure it even takes a particularly negative mindset to at least have that thought

    Agreed - how about Tent Alexander Arnold ?

    I used to think I was one of those one day and a wigwam the next.

    It was a bad time for my mental health.

    I was two tents.

    Worth pointing out that being back for a week, he hasn't been persuaded to stay. That should make negotiations easier. Hopefully we can speed this up and get this done by thr end of thr week.

    West Ham fans feel he has featured heavily in their early pre-season footage, suggesting he may want to stay.

    Your basing it on feels of a fanbase, because the PR from the club?

    Don't buy it at all.

    I don't buy them saying he wants to say and I don't buy other people saying he wants to join us. I will believe what I see when it happens!

    The name of the thread gives a clue. It's a rumour until it's a done deal. Signed, sealed, delivered.

    That last bit is so true. Clubs are getting smart accountants to ensure there’s no issue.

    Well it's all risk-reward isn't it? Forest got deducted 4 points last year. If you can spend in the way they did and recruit players that "earn" you more than 4 points then it's probably worth it.

    SAA would rip up League One but I'd rather he got a loan in the Championship TBH if we were to send him out.
