A loan this season would suggest we are PSR compliant and therefore saving the fee for next year. Assuming we’ve driven the structure that is…

At least it’s not Palace. They should have a 5x asking price premium going forward after Edouard.

Feels a low fee when you look at other clubs' sales recently, but if it's the difference between bringing a few players in in key positions and losing a player who doesn't want to be here then not too fussed about the 5 or so million we're shy.

A decent club? He’s making me blush.

Leo Ayew with the pluck from the sky there.

Hamza has to stay. He’s very limited as a player but him and Okoli were the two really injecting energy into the he. He also spent a lot of time encouraging Page and Monga.

On the plus side, at least we didn't get Martin: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/crlz4y36jwko

The problem is you only need to work through one or two pages of a thread to see most of our team called out and “should never play again”. We wouldn’t have 11 to start! It’s been a decline since the end of the Rogers era with a slight ray of sunshine two seasons ago. We’re done until something fundamentally changes.

Faes adding the much needed urgency.

How predictable from Iverson

The ref is letting a lot of fouls in the back and shirt pulls go which is frustrating the tiny glimmer of hope of attacking threat.

Wtf was that set piece. 20 seconds left yeh let’s go away from goal. Jesus how brain dead our players are.

The biggest worry for me is there were early signs of a style and plan against Fiorentina. I’ve seen none of it in the opening three games.

I just remind myself it could and will be worse at some point during the match…

What a brain fart

We realistically only have Winks to come in so one of Skipp and Soumare was always going to survive.

Welcome to the championship. Nice to see similar to happen to Brum soon too.

Oh dear Danny.

Defending so far in these first two weeks has been so bad. Feels like the gap to the PL is getting so big.

Ssssh. Don’t encourage them…!

Will be interesting to see how a spine of Ward, Coady and James gets on…

Do any of our players like playing for us? Sad really when you think of the connection with the fans two years ago.

If that is true and our answer was anything other than “he is not for sale” then god help us. I’m not aware of any PSR benefit of selling now over next Summer and he might be the difference between top 6 and not. EK is different if someone triggers the release clause.

How many more times tonight will Don Goodman talk about Leeds? Woeful commentator.

Poor fee however we try to spin it to convince ourself it's decent. IF he stays fit, he will go on to be a very successful keeper, although always a chance that one big injury leads to another (see Maddison). I don't buy the poor negotiation position argument - maybe to a small extent. A proven goalkeeper who is extremely comfortable with their feet and a good shot stopper is very difficult to find, and very sought after in the modern game. You can't ignore other keeper transfers this Summer - we've known all along Potter was interested, his keeper coach knows Mads and their style of play suits them. They would have gone higher if pushed I'm pretty certain. All that to one side, these kinds of deal just reinforce in my mind how inadequate PSR is and how all it does is protect the big clubs.
