Never been to Super Game Shack but after a quick look at their Facebook I shall definitely be popping in there next week whilst I am off!

He posted it as a quote reply to one of his previous tweets

I don’t think that is the case though I think the fact they were looking for workarounds (us only paying a loan fee and none of his wages ourselves which is a very uncommon scenario for a loan deal) shows that they knew it was an issue they had to get around and tried to do so If it turned out we can’t do that, and we don’t want to cover what Zaha would lose, then the deal collapses for tax reasons, like it has done

I mean you could quite literally be explaining what has happened and why the deal has seemingly failed?

Apparently close to signing a new deal

After yet another summer so far where they have had to sell their best players and rely on frees and loans to replace them as well Hopefully the club actually goes for him like they should have this summer once Cooper eventually gets the boot

Depends if that £23m was the upfront fee or the total package as well

As long as we do get Hlozek and a proper number 9 I am personally not that fussed about missing out on Zaha

Has it been said he will cost £30m?

20% tax for him in Turkey where as here it would be 45% We would need to pay him about £150k a week to then match his net wage he gets in Turkey I imagine this is why we were seemingly trying to do it where we only pay a loan fee for him but have probably found out we can’t do it that way?

I feel like in classic Fabrizio Romano style that doesn’t actually say anything different to what he said yesterday? Just reworded

Todays Result - Tuesday 13th August Carabao Cup 1st Round: Harry Souttar (7.4 - 90 mins) - Sheff Utd 4-2 Wrexham

Going to be forced to take a crap offer for him aren't we?

Has it even been confirmed that we could get Szmodics for £9m? (by a good source)

I am quite enjoying 10-15 hour games at the moment as I can usually get through them in a week Gears of War, Resident Evil, Ghostwire Tokyo, Dave the Diver etc. I am off work next week with nothing planned so trying to decide whether this is when I decide to dive into another long game and if so which one haha

The idea of going into the season with midfield options of Winks, Ndidi, Choudhury, and Soumare scares me, an injury or ban for Winks and that midfield is diabolical Wilf isn't the same player he was a few years ago and neither of Hamza or Soumare should be starting or possibly even on the bench at a Prem team

I should get back to playing through AC Valhalla at some point - been that long though that I think I would need to start again and I really cba for another Ubisoft 100+ hour game at the moment

Sounds perfect for a Rudkin special 3 year contract

Zaha No need for him if we get both Hlozek and Ioannidis

I would rather sign Zaha on loan for 1 season for what seems like it may actually be cheaper than £9m TOTAL (all being reported in Euros so would be cheaper already) rather than Jordan Ayew for a £4m transfer fee (which might not even be enough and we end up going higher), his signing on fee, and also a 2-3 year contract

Tom Collomosse is usually the ones who reports on us for the Daily Mail and I think he is usually decent But Sami Mokbel is the chief reporter so...

He better not be instead of Zaha, Hlozek or a proper actual striker...
