Finnegan Posted 20 August 2025 Posted 20 August 2025 **** sakes, if O'Rourke says he's staying, he's as good as gone. 1 1 3
urban fox Posted 20 August 2025 Posted 20 August 2025 Every player has his price. As much as we would all be disappointed if he were to be sold, if somebody offers silly money (maguire, mahrez , Chilwell fofana etc) then he goes and good luck to him. Most on here have been saying we need to return to our old model of selling one or two big assets a year and reinvesting in the next crop of potential, yet now are moaning as soon as there is a rumour that we might sell. The problems come, not when letting talent go, but when the money is either not re-invested, or the gambles don't pay off.
STUHILL Posted 20 August 2025 Posted 20 August 2025 His injury is the only thing that will keep him here for 1 more season. He would have been gone too if not. Enjoy him this season, Rudkin will be desperate to sell him next Summer.

A 2 or 3 year stint in the Championship, whilst we develop young talent and scout hungry players with potential.Get promoted With a young and improving squad low cost with no carried over Financial issues. Big contracts going forwards only for retention of proven players. That's the plan. Thanks Jon. If you could ask your boy Anthony to put that out as a press release we'd accept that at this stage. Because here we were thinking there wasn't actually a plan at all.

I mean you'd probably have to endure detailed press releases about the electronics used in the turnstiles and tweets about the type of laundry liquid used to wash the players' kits, but you'd get to hear the important stuff too... Director Of Overcommunications would be a massive redemption curve from the director of Undercommunucations who must spend 6 days a week on the putting green 1
ScotFox1 Posted 20 August 2025 Posted 20 August 2025 He is absolutely staying... By the way, I have no insider knowledge and am currently in Amsterdam having just consumed a delicious coffee and chocolate brownie!! Supporting LCFC is currently a joy 😵💫

Lambert09 Posted 20 August 2025 Posted 20 August 2025 I’m surprised Everton are even looking atm. They are going to have alcaraz and ndiye available for the right as you’d assume grealish takes the lw role can’t see them splashing more than 30m now

They don't have a proper right winger in the entire squad. And long may that continue....

HankMarvin Posted 20 August 2025 Posted 20 August 2025 Fin Azaz 12 goals 11 assists, £12m offer Some context on values, for stand out Championship performances for those that think £40m plus is a paltry amount. 1

I doubt it after the ACL. In a way Abdul doing his ACL last year could be a blessing in disguise to our season this year.

JimJams Posted 30 August 2025 Posted 30 August 2025 He's not an option available to them. He's not available. End of. 2
moore_94 Posted 30 August 2025 Posted 30 August 2025 Probably just being rumoured too push through their deal for Chukwueze, same journo posted this after

murphy Posted 30 August 2025 Posted 30 August 2025 I know it's reality, but I'm still having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the likes of Palace and Fulham can take our best players. How can this be possible? I'm still working through denial. It might take some time to get to acceptance. 4

Although in fairness, as things stand neither of those clubs have taken any of our players, let alone our best ones. However we did sign their cast offs in Ayew, Edouard and BDR. Which is just as bad. Maybe worse.
