Never know who to believe with these twitter characters do you. We do seem to be interested though. Anyone else Juve could want? They fancy Soumare? Faes? big Luke Thomas? Take your pick lads!

Lots of players are swayed by money, so I have no problem with that. I'd do the same. I disagree on the 'lots of offers and interest' part though - I just don't think he's in as high demand as he maybe thought he would be when choosing not to extend over the years.

It's the chance creation that's the key for me personally. I'm happy with any style of play as long as chances are being created. Whether it's a 100 pass build up or a long ball to Brian Deane for Dickov to run on to - Both equally as entertaining to me! It's just when you don't even look like scoring that football can be a real grind, but I guess that happens with all teams regardless of the system being used. Great post btw.

Is it just the Cov element that people don't like about him? Watching clips, he's clearly a talented player. Pretty recently back from a year long injury so won't be 100% yet. Only 26 - If he's stays injury free now and gets himself really fit with a good pre-season, I think he'd be a really good signing for someone.

In order to get Chelsea to go up to the figure we wanted for KDH? Seemed obvious to me, but obviously I could have assumed wrong!

Assumed he was just a PSR fiddle who would just go straight into the U21's and never be seen again. Weird they've done a reveal video and everything. Hopefully he goes on to be a good signing!

This Not sure I've ever been on the fence as much with a player as I am with VK. He's both impressed and concerned me in equal measure! Young players in a nutshell though I guess.

Well a good season in the PL would put his value around £15m wouldn’t it. Not exactly deluded.

Well you can sort of understand why people are a bit unhappy with the club at the moment? There are unrealistic, deluded and entitled fans in every fan base to be fair, I don't think we're much worse than others - We just have a brilliant and very active forum full of people posting their opinion! I guess I'm somewhere in the middle - A little concerned to be padding the squad out with a >30yr old looking for his last decent payday, but also realistic that we're cutting our cloth accordingly...especially with squad players.

Well it's a football forum, so nothing on here 'matters' does it It's just quite entertaining to get some snippets of info every now and again.

True, but it's nice to keep the hope alive though isn't it. Gets you through the Summer.

We don't have a single ITK on the forum anymore though do we. Shame.

Of course he's turned down an extension with Fulham if we've offered him a contract We love throwing out those big salaries!

Nooo. South American wonderkids is what we need - Nobody wants 'domestic' Stevie! Oh, it's Alan Nixon. Decent.

You don’t know for sure that he’s not though, do you…

I'm sold...

Well if you're right he'll be renewing pretty soon.

You may be right. I just don't think you are. If he renews here, it'll be because he couldn't get anything better...and that will be due to fitness issues, and the fact that he just isn't very good anymore. (Yes yes I know he did well in the first half of last season) Just an opinion...before people get upset.

Is the fact that he's ran his contract down yet still can't get a gig elsewhere not a bit of a red flag to anyone? Penny will drop eventually.

Not an easy job is it! Winning the Championship was a good achievement considering where we were, but staying up this year would absolutely dwarf it.

Shame to see him go. Normally pretty nonplussed when managers/players leave, but he's one I'd quite like to see do well...even if it's for another team.

Literally the biggest scapegoat there has ever been on this forum. Many players were just as shit during the relegation season.

Absolutely. The Chelsea thing doesn't irk me particularly either. We have fleeced them for Drinkwater, Chilwell and Fofana in my opinion Just about made the money back they should have paid us for Kante. KDH deal seems fair market value, so we'll call it square with them now!

Always amuses me with Fofana especially - Same fans calling him a rat etc for forcing his way out were the ones loving it when he did the same to Saint-Etienne. Just the circle of life football.

Pretty large proportion of the forum then!
