According to The Sun (always reliable?) we are looking to replace Diaby with Atletico Madrid's Joao Felix. At least there's plenty of other Portuguese he can hang around with in the Midlands?
12 Jul 2024 15:29:05
Chambers off to Cardiff by the sounds of it. It's a shame Coutinho has gone on loan and we didn't manage to dump his contract in the process ?
09 Jul 2024 11:15:59
Apparently a player-plus-cash deal is underway with Spurs for Ramsey with lo Celso potentially heading to us ?
02 Jul 2024 23:53:15
Sounds like Coutinho is set to leave for Vasco da Gama by the end of this week.

Why don’t they just release him instead of the loan? Do we have to subsidise his wages?
2.) 03 Jul 2024 15:21:38
He has a fixed contract, if we release him we have to pay 100% of his wages for the remainder of his contract unless he agrees to less.
At least with a loan, some of those wages are covered so we're not at a complete loss.

According to reports on the BBC today, it sounds like we are trying to get the contract terminated as part of the agreement ?

So Callum O'Hare is on our radar and not signing a new contract with Coventry so will leave on a free. Thoughts? ?
1.) 01 May 2024 13:51:53
I liked O’Hare before he moved to Coventry but we had a much weaker squad when he left and various managers seemed reluctant to play him, if he does re sign I can’t see him in the starting XI and given where he is in terms of his career. I can’t see him being comfortable with playing occasional minutes. So if I was him, if I am honest I think I would opt for a club that’s more likely to give me game time.

West Ham have supposedly made a £30m bid and offered Lewis Orford in exchange for Duran. Any takers ?

Get rid asap, he doesn’t want to be here, I can’t see anyone with any kind of bad attitude working well with Emery, I think attitude was 1 of the main reasons Emery let Doug leave, looking at body language pitchside doug was never pleased looking when Emery was demanding more

Konsa starts against Switzerland ?
03 Jul 2024 23:54:38
Apparently Gallagher 'doesn't want to move to the Midlands'. Thank goodness for that.

Does anyone know where Mings is in terms of recovery? Is he going to be fit enough to start the season? ?
1.) 30 Jun 2024 00:34:57
So no one knows then ?
25 Jun 2024 22:03:15
Thank goodness for Gareth otherwise we'd never have won the group. A goalless draw with the mighty Slovenia ?? just shows why he's the right top-class manager for the job ??.

Based on Williams’s Euro performances, I’d drive over to Bilbao and fetch him back myself, though Barcelona and Arsenal are also in the picture ?

I agree Allstar. I’m in my mid 60’s now so seldom get instantly over-excited about anything other than some Werthers Originals and a nice sit down ?
04 Jun 2024 00:45:11
I think any significant deals will already have been done or at least put in place some time ago. So I don’t think anyone should be too overly shocked or disappointed by any signings (or lack of) . Que Sera as they might say in Barcelona ?
07 Mar 2024 00:42:43
Anyone with an accountancy qualification care to square this rumour with FFP rules? I understood we were having to sell players to comply so how can we spend £200m on new players. Sorry if I’m being thick

Jacks head is easily influenced - he thought he would be City’s massive star but hasn’t been. I think he is still a great player and talent. Southgate was mistaken in not taking him to the Euros. If he’s being asked to play a certain way which doesn’t work - even by a decent manager like Pep - it doesn’t diminish the underlying talent in my view so he could easily adapt to a different system. However, since there is no buy-back clause (which Christian said would be twice the selling fee) we would have to pay market price. He’d needs to grow up in Emery’s eyes though. I can’t imagine he’s very tolerant of party boys ?
16 Jul 2024 16:54:08
I hear Klopp is at a loose end ??
13 Jul 2024 13:00:47
Looks like the deal is pretty much done. Question is whether we think Onana is a good replacement for Dougie? ?
01 Jul 2024 19:52:10
And possibly Bellingham for needlessly juggling his b****cks in celebration
