Islam pard not the one who wanted to do that?

He rarely plays though, and regularly doesn’t make the matchday squad. It looks like we judged his level correctly, and Frankfurt just took a punt which hasn’t worked out.

I doubt the same level of club will be interested in him to be honest, he’s nowhere near as good as branthwaite, and there’s not a lot of benefit (to us) in him going to a second rate Dutch side. Personally I’d think if he goes on loan it will be...

On the face of it, it all sounds completely normal and I’m not entirely sure what it is that people are losing their minds over. From what’s been reported I’d guess we’ve been in touch with his agent who’s said ‘I’ll level with you, we’ve got...

Oh absolutely, in terms of football as a whole we’re a very attractive proposition. My point was more just nobody is out there dreaming of coming here specifically, anybody who signs for us is doing so because we’re their best option so the idea...

Do you think linking a talented player then failing to complete that transfer is more likely to placate or frustrate the fan base?

Nobody really wants to play for us though do they? I mean even I’d rather play for Real Madrid and I’ve had a season ticket for 30 years.

I’m not disputing any of that in theory . But to criticise any player who chooses to challenge himself at the highest level rather than coming to a club that has done nothing but avoid relegation for 3 decades is viewing events through extremely...

It's also about their own personal sponsorship deals, you'll get a far better boot deal if f you're for example signing for real Madrid than for Everton even if you never play a minute at Madrid

Not really about this lad specifically, more a general point. A while ago a player would expect a big move after 5 good years, now they seem to expect it after 5 good games. Maybe I’m just an old fart, but they want to run before they can walk.

They don't really want Champions League football mate. The want the profile of being able to say they played in the Champions League as it leads to a better contract in the future. Clubs that play in the Champions League amongst the top 5...

An agent’s job is to protect his clients interests so I guess he’ll be wanting to keep options open. It’s not surprising really.

Yeah the crying over Romano is a bit weird, even the tete one he obviously jumped the gun but the basic principle of what he said was right. Not sure how people have ended up coming up with all sorts of mad conspiracy theories and decided he’s...

I find this way of thinking a bit mad. What he reported has happened. So hes right in what he said. Just apparently the player isnt intrested in coming to us (which has been said by a much less reliable source). I find it a bit strange we'd bid...
