Batty=bottom." Scraping Chelsea's batty" no fucking idea what that means...made me chuckle though.
Blatant "I've got a job" post.
Well, it's either:
1) The club and Mourinho don't like the players available based on skill/ability/fit
2) The club and Mourinho don't like the players available based on fees and wages
3) The players the club do want don't want to come
There's a reason why January is hard to get in quality recruits. Bergwjin came over because PSV is a on fire. Other players are moving mostly to get minutes before the Euros. Other than that its slim pickings.
Ohhh I thought it was some sort of bizarre sex act with Bill Clinton's daughter!!
NB...I know it just made me laugh!!
It wouldn't be anything like that, Real Sociedad want €25 million which is £21 million as it stands. If we were to offer say €22 million I think they'd bite our hand off, especially as if not they (a) have an unhappy player and (b) apparently there's a clause in his current contract that says RS have to play the agents who still own 30% of the player a penalty of 30% of the value of any formal offer, so around €7.5 million in this case, a helluva lot of money to pour down the spout
And when's said and done, £18-19 million or so isn't an outrageous sum for a player who has been a Top 6 La Liga team's top scorer over his three and a half years there, nor is it going to break the bank as far as we are concerned, far from it.
Yes rock bottom. Unknown PL rule if you don't have a senior backup striker on your squad you get auto-relegated.
I'd love to know definitively what happened with Llorente, because I've heard it was a contract issues (Levy) but I also heard that Poch wasn't too bothered if he came back and didn't push for him to return.
The fact that the club apparently has only two strikers total in its entire setup is depressing, and one of those is 17.
I think our original offer was £12 million. I can't see Levy offering much more than that.
I think we're only open to a genuine stop gap, that we will sell for a pittance in a year or so.
I'd rather we didn't take that approach, but so be it.
Great point.
Also I wonder if this and the summer window will be influenced much by new rules under Brexit?
Look at some of the clubs that JM has been to, he doesn't give a shit about fees or wages.
Ya that's a huge cloud over the summer. It's going to gain steam in April because apparently no one really knows what it means. The FA is also pushing for more domestic players on the squad so there is alot of dynamics in the background which could cause absolute chaos.
That's a new one .
