    that’s business. PSG know he’s been pictured here and we are desperate for good news as a fan base, so chuck in an extra £££ request knowing we are likely to pay it.

    That's a shame, but if he's getting minutes at Brighton then it's sort of understandable. Hopefully we have a plan B.

    Nah, I find it very sneaky myself. Deal agreed, player is here in the stands, and they go ‘actually, give us more money’.

    You might be alright with them doing it but I think it’s pretty poor from PSG personally mate.

    yeh sorry I didn’t explain myself right. It’s very poor. But I think it’s way more frequent in this awful ****ing business than anyone would like

    That's a massive blow. They've decided they want a buy back option perhaps? This one might not be dead just yet. We've surely already agreed terms with the player so it's just some compromise between the club's that's required.

    Sounds like Hecke was wanted by a lot of teams so sounds like its more to do with Brighton see him as a viable option for them this season - wont of had anything to do with Neil leaving us

    Van hecke will 100% be getting loaned out still. It’s a huge game of chess. They just want clubs to pay more for the privilege so are pretending he might stay

    Remember I said earlier they inserted a buy back in Xavi Simons transfer for peanuts and we’d done well to negotiate a sell on clause….. <doh>

    Watch Michut sign for Celtic for £5m and then be sold in two years to Real Madrid for £45m

    Have we been played here? Let everyone know he’s available and start a bidding war?

    think that’s clutching at straws around a translation mind

    nothings ever dead until the window is closed or he’s gone elsewhere tho

    yes and we could really have done without him being shown on camera at our game at the weekend. Made us so vulnerable to this

    No. He was watching our game at the weekend, that's not gamesmanship. It's been known he was available. Celtic bid and Sevilla were interested but they didn't want to pay the price. It's not as if PSG are desperate to squeeze that extra half a million out of us. It's far more likely that they want a buy back clause.

    I would be surprised that we let Diamond leave for Lincoln unless we thought it was an issue that could be overcome.

    these are just the two we know about. The hope is there’s more ongoing

    although it does feel more like Hope than expectation

    you don’t go back on an agreement unless you think you have leverage. And their leverage is that we are desperate for good news and that it’s essentially been made public he’s signing for us
