You think bidding a fee 8% below the asking prices is puny?

It is for a club bringing in 140 million plus from tv viewers yes. Pay up or **** off, it’s pretty simple.

 

Don’t pay the fee asked you don’t want the player, you don’t value him. If you want someone enough pay the fee asked get it done.

What a merry go round. Must be making poor BEK want to cuddle his mum.

Cifuentes has just said in his presser that BEK is available tomorrow, for what it's worth.

He could easily skirt around this wording by saying just because someone is "available" doesn't mean they are picked...which is essentially what happened for Charlton.

If he plays tomorrow, he's on telly in front of everyone (and some Americans), you think he'd use that as an opportunity to showcase himself

Morocco manager has said bilal wants exit in press conference, people on here suggesting he is absent from training, Marti says he is available.

The club have had two loans off the Aussie bank and spent the grand total of £2million pounds in transfers during that period. We've had another loan confirmed today. The days of Top clearing up a debt (under rules they can only carry so much now as well) are going. King Power's money tap looks off to me. 

It was never on. After that first season with Sven and buying the likes of Matt Mills and paying silly wages for Vassell etc they've only ever re-invested tv and transfer profits. Not being able to take out loans as regularly might actually help us stop paying crap players massive wages.

He's definitely at training. 43 seconds in.

 

 

[Jaspa]

Yeah he hasn’t missed training.

Glasner stated Eze was available and in Palace squad last week only for him to pull out on day of game due to “illness” I wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if he missing tomorrow due to a bug or a niggle ……..

Assuming Rudders takes a well deserved long weekend off after securing the deal, it'll give him a week to get in the players we need that will provide goals and assists.

Absolutely. A big game with a goal and an assist and I think someone would come in for him. Anyone with half an inkling would just be tempted in. It certainly felt like more clubs circled after 1 good game against Wednesday

Clearly not that much of a problem for him to be playing Championship football then

He's not even really been playing either. 142 minutes so far this season.

Wow you can see why they put F All effort into the games when you see the lacklustre training 😳

Think Borat or whatever his name is has done the lad no favours along with his advisors (Mum). He did OK in a poor side last year but not really a great season. For those of an age thik Mark Draper for having a great season in also a very poor side. This makes him out to be a spoilt selfish brat as he has history for this based on getting his move here. A good performance could get him suitors before the window closes but if he is half as good as he thinks he is a run of games with decent performances and a good AFcon opens up much more choice for the chap. More choice of clubs and higher pay.

[CornwallFox]

Tbh I couldn't care less either way. Kinda concluded that we're unlikely to go up so it makes no real difference. Sell, keep, whatever. Feeling pretty ambivalent.

You are aware that they don't show any training moves, or the intensity on purpose don't you?

 

They are trying to show a short clip of a team showing togetherness. Not to give the opposition an advantage.

That looks like a very casual kick about. I’m not suggesting that the players get ragged in training…but there doesn’t seem any running or commitment just a run around 🤷‍♀️

Would explain why Soumare looks good enough in training to keep snagging that first team place

If that were true, we wouldn't have breached PSR as we wouldn't have made a loss. The fact is that we have consistently spent £35m a season more than we've brought in, and that has been funded solely by Top/King Power in the form of loans converted to equity. 

 

We've frequently funded cash flow through loans from Macquarie and doing so now makes even more sense because owners are no longer allowed to give interest free loans.
