I'd prefer we'd been proactive in looking for Walker's replacement, given the club knew he was off in March or April

Be nice if we had a wealthy benefactor ready to spunk up 80 mill and we could really shut these fuckwits up!
We don't have anyone by the balls. First refusal means just that, the seller names his price and you say yay or nay. If the latter, the seller can then sell to whoever he wants. It doesn't give you the right to hold up the sale to other parties if you don't want to buy, as that would be an unreasonable restriction on trade.
There's an old Spanish saying "ni come ni deja comer", which translates as "He won't eat or let others eat" which would be exactly the principle here.

Coupled with the fact Poch will surely have known for some time that KWP isn't ready to start.
Not sure that restraint of trade fly's in the Spanish Courts does it?
Would it? I quite enjoy the moral high ground of not having a "wealthy benefactor" compared to other clubs
We have one. And that figure you quote only equates to half of his latest super-yacht.
It's happening
How many "ITKs" have actually been right this window? We've been told to expect a new signing on probably 5 or 6 occasions only for nothing to happen; the most recent examples being yesterday and friday of last week. Deadset joke
I must be missing something here. Aren't there normally two main stages to a transfer?
1. Club accepts fees
then
2. player accepts terms.
If the second one doesn't happen it means he is free to go wherever, all RM have to do is give us equal opportunity to sign him. I can't see us being able to derail anything, only slow it down by a few hours until Bale says "I don't accept the terms on offer".
Walt, the above post may have given you the impression that I was less than trusting vis-a-vis your privileged information.
As it has been brought to my attention that you may in fact be none other than Ledley King, may I reassure you that this was never my intention.
Can we be cyber best-friends?
Do you. Considering the way the club is run, I'd feel more comfortable if we were not owned by a super-billionaire at all if I'm honest. Would make it easier to accept. The fact we drew the short straw and landed the one with short arms and no interest in football just makes it all the more galling
Oh. So it wasn't worth the piece of paper it was written on. Just another publicity stunt if that's the case. I see
I prefer to think of him as someone who's sensible with his money. He clearly has an interest in football..
But if he had an interest in football we would have signed Robinho, and fernando, and fernandinho, and otamendi, and Raheem Sterling, and Pep, with Klopp as his assistant!
I refer my learned friend to European Directive 86/653/EEC and specifically Article 20 therein.
That is actually my biggest gripe - why are we paying scouts?
I hate cunts that say 'on point'
I forgot its under Euro jurisdiction fuck must be like losing ones religion!I refer my learned friend to European Directive 86/653/EEC and specifically Article 20 therein.
