if any truth in this then big concern for wasserman uk staff bonus'

Have you forgotten to take your meds ash😄 we have to score at least one goal to win a game !

Lateral thinking sylo ! would likely be 10 points + then

Assuming they’ve taken their seats by minute 5 …… do you think that the fanbase think like this or will they direct their abuse towards the coach as is usual in these kind of situations?

It’s ‘waiting for Godot’ again ……

This is not new in past times of riots, the courts impose strong sentences quickly and that serves as deterrent I recall someone being sent down in 2011 for stealing a cream bun during a riot ??

Even fab has got bored updating this deal !

Fanny Craddock would have more insight (one for the teenagers)

this could reflect on our situation behind the scenes in that our dof has too much on his plate (his decision btw) when zaha left palace and chose to go to gala, most of those in the industry would have known the dynamics behind it. That there were tax advantages at play in Turkey. so anyone now interested in signing the player and taking on the renumeration package in lieu of a loan fee should have broached that subject quite early. It could be that we did and have been duped by Gala who had told us that they’d cover the tax differential and now have rowed back on that. Or that we just expected either wilf or gala to take a bath on it when push came to shove. As ever, no one will know. we may have taken advice ref HMRC/zaha and now found out that this isn’t sound. in the end, most incoming deals we’ve done over the years seem to have been good for the players (and presumably their advisors). We will be able to make better judgements on all this when aug 30th is done. I wonder if we get smashed on Monday and at craven Cottage if you’ll see proper panic deals done the last week of the window ?? 🤙

I agree but rudder’s spreadsheet probably says 20m so unless he gets that he can’t move on I wonder if he knows that € and £ are different ?

Is it only safari park chimps that behave in this fashion ? Tbf, I like the analogy one wonders why this has slowed if Romano is correct about the inter club negs would be good to get the kid in ahead of the weekend so he can be in and amongst our matchday routines

How many of those players will want to come here after we’ve been stuffed in our first two games ?

He’s a decent player but leeds position - the buying club should be exploiting that of course it’s possible that leeds no longer need to sell after the couple sales they’ve made or that they were intending selling others and keeping him. So the release clause is the only means for Brighton to get him.

Surprised Brighton are meeting that release clause rather than just bidding 30m. they must know Leeds need to sell Can only assume that they tried and Leeds decision to stick him on the bench last night forced them to go to the RC

I’d hope that our patterns of play are more complex than someone being able to pick it all up within a couple days. (Despite what we’ve seen pre season) a player who is at a very high level and can just do it on their own get be different

Surely no one is being dropped in for Monday at this late stage same squad that got mullered at lens

Surely ms whelan can see through him she must chat to other clubs CEO’s and know if this is standard fayre or if we are overly played ?? possible that all clubs go through this nonsense to some degree..

Shouldn’t this be in the ‘no one gives a flying fook about’ forum ?

Bit if they keep falling through then doesn’t look good for fab …..

Probably correct HMRC aren’t stupid

Romano must be well peed off with the time it takes us to get a deal done ….

Even if we signed him today, he wouldn’t be playing on Monday We look shite but we must have some kind of tactical structure in place

Have to make a few bob wherever we can now ……..

Out of the clubs interested in him he wants Roma not a difficult call for him - Marseille are also a pull but would seem that he’s decided on rome. Probably bigger deal for him and his agent If we were a sensibly run club and the players was on 50k per week, he’d have been sold a year ago.

Of course not we need a fee of 7m to break even on psr bit that could still leave us covering the wage difference between what we pay him and what Roma would for two years.
