Summer Transfer window

Viktor Melekhin also impressed at centre half, great passing range.

 

Get those bonuses guaranteed, or as close as possible to guaranteed and let him go.

That pretty much works well enough for everyone.

 

not for me - I want a bit more. And I think we can get it. £21m up front when some goes to Birmingham just isn’t enough

 

Always reject the first two offers

 

Unless you're Kristjaan Speakman, you've gone too far in your watching of football. Scouting a Russia v Nigeria friendly crosses that threshold.

 

wouldn’t be happy at all with us signing a Russian even if they’re the next Messi

 

Also I know nothing about that Uruguayan CB from Mexico but he’s been consistent over there it seems

 

another one who’s great on football manager

 

Wasn't meant for scouting, just Batrakov a joy to watch. Centre half stood out though.

 

Batrakov has been linked?

 

It's a player to player thing for me, they won't all support the war or Putin.

 

Can’t remember if it was on here but I mentioned onyedika last season. Good shout

 

Just not worth the baggage for me.

 

No, was more Uche not a serious link and Batrakov not a link at all.

 

Not their fault really

especially if they’re Russian because they’re obviously going to come through a. Russian academy

 

If they've already budged 5m euros in bid two, get it rejected and see what they come back with for bid three. You'd like to think then we were getting somewhere close.

 

A lot of Russian players are actively trying to leave because of it, if you happen to be in the country when some nutter starts a war there ain't much you can do.

 

It's fine though. We paid £3m for him and had 2 very good seasons out of him. We can also get on with our business knowing exactly where we stand.

The reality is that another £5m and you'll be saying it's a good deal, but the clauses will make that up anyway so there'll be little difference.

 

I want the extra £5m and the clauses

 

just not worth the baggage. Would be a PR disaster and the lad would get boo’d at every ground in the country
