In some respects they have a right to be though, our billionare chairman was the one who went on national radio stating that we had bid £60m for a world class defender last summer, maybe he should have just kept his mouth shut

I read it on something this morning, im just trying to find the link for it. It basically said Swansea want £30m, Leicester will pay that and we will only pay £25m

Going to Leicester for £30m apparently

do you expect anything less from him? he has made his career from that sort of thing

Great goal from Juve to make it 1-1, cracking game so far

I have a bit of theory on this. Koeman like most Dutch managers prefer 4-3-3, now he has said he would prefer to keep Ross but i have a feeling that if RK get's all of his targets in over the summer i can't see Barkley being a first team starter in that system unless he plays out wide supporting the striker which means he has to vastly improve on his goal scoring ability and fast. This makes me wonder whether Kenwright is possibly(and i mean possibly) said to Ross that he would be a garunteed starter or even captain if he signs a new contract, we all know what Bill can be like at times. that is the one way i can see that this story may have come about, we will have to just wait and see. Also some stories today that we will sign another DM, a guy called Dendoncker, not sure why surely we have enough already

Very loud neighbours, i have a house full of teenagers a couple of doors down the road from me and they just constantly play music very loud and have parties all day and all night, none of them seem to work or go to college or uni, they have no concept of living next door to anyone else whatsoever. The police have been out to see them on numerous occasions but they just don't care they simply stay quiet for 1/2 hour then start up again. I can't do any study work for university at home because i can never concentrate because of the constant noise, i am seriously considering moving because of it before i end up applying violence to one of them :shaking fist:

Off to the barcodes according to reports on the radio

They can do some serious damage if they bite you can't they?

I saw that but do take into account mate that it is on GOT and every fucker on there thinks they are 'ITK' thats all

Agreed, i think we should look to move on from this one personally as Sandro clearly seems quite happy to stay in Spain and would prefer the Madrid move by the looks of things

Id take back everything i have said about our transfer dealings if this happened but i highly doubt it somehow, also as was said previously we would need someone to play the ball through to him on a regular basis. but hell if we pulled this off it would be a real sign of our ambitions

Probably because other clubs such as mighty Bournmouth can manage to lineup targets and sign them, just because the window is not open does not mean you can't sign people, we have always been shit when it comes to this stuff, id be surprised if we actually have identified anyone whatsoever, having said that, a few things about today suggesting that Cuco Martina will be our first signing. I do notice that the common denominator with the previous regime and the new one when it comes to this stuff is Suntan Bob, he made a big speech the other week about us looking for bargins

We have not got the time to wait to have patience though, pre season is in about 4 weeks then the start of the Europa is in about 8 weeks, we need to get a move on with signings so they can come in and work with the players we have already got and be part of the time and learn the system, so we can hit the ground running imo.

Let him go and get somewhere else then, he is not a £120k a week player let alone £140k, no way in hell should we be paying him that based on the last few years

I guess im just a bit worried that they will turn out to be some sort of secret transfer committee

This, i will be fucking fuming if we get back in for pre season and have not signed anybody

Did anyone else hear the bomber's old friend talking? some rapper calling himself ghecko(never heard of him myself, im more Grandmaster Flash/Public Enemy) he claims there is a group of people in Manchester going round brainwashing these kids and recruiting them for ISIS. That is a very worrying thing if true. I saw all the Police with guns when i was in Brighton the other day, i found it all a bit strange, i wonder how long they will be like that.

I am pretty convinced he will still be here next season, i understand his desire to play for a big CL club but what him and that ghastly agent of his don't seem to realise is, is that none of the major european clubs actually need him. Possibly Man United as despite what is being said there have been some pretty strong reports in the last couple of weeks that Greizman doesn't want to leave Madrid

true enough, im just slightly concerned at who these 'advisors' are given that Moshiri is an accountant himself

Whilst im not in any great hurry for Rooney to come back, i must say i am slightly concerned by this: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/05/28/koeman-keen-moshiris-advisers-unsure-everton-reportedly-split-on/ It suggests that the board are involved in the managers transfers dealings, i thought that is what we brought Walsh in for? why do Moshiri's 'advisors' need to be involved, do they not trust RK or something.

Man City signing Bernardo Silva, top quality player, total bargin at £40+m

Not sure i believe this twitter rumour about Barkley and his contract being signed, given the status of the player and the recent fuss over it the last few months if he had signed surely the club would make an announcment straight away?

Great summing up there, my only other concern at the moment is (and i know it is still early days) the players we are being linked with so far are absolute dross, we really need to raise the bar a bit more if we are going to break the top 6 imo.
