You know the 3 previous summers, where we genuinely didn't have a pot to piss in, and we were PSR'd up to our eyeballs? We signed 9, 5 and 8 players those years

It sounds to me like his agency are trying to will elite club offers into existence. At the moment the actual concrete interest we know about is us and Forest. The likes of Liverpool may well have checked in and be keeping tabs but like you say...

Also, we know all too well as Everton fans that 'interest' doesn't mean a bid will follow. He supposedly turned down Forest a month ago because he wanted CL football and nothing has happened until we put a bid in this weekend. How long does he...

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...

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.

If champions league clubs dont come in for him then maybe it does .

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...

He will if you misinterpret what he's saying. He said we made a bid and we are in talks with Lyon. That's been backed up by Bobble/Boyland. He didn't get anything wrong.

This, in a nutshell, for all the transfer whingebags out there, is why we haven't signed 10 players yet.

Honestly I think he has a better chance of going to a CL club by impressing for 1-2 years at a club like us rather than be a squad filler on big money at a Chelsea or CL team if that makes sense?

Who are they then do we think. Luiz/Palhinha/McGinn - and I guess there was Tete - but there's not been that many more links to that profile of player so far. Grealish? Soucek?

I saw enough in the first half from us not to be discouraged by the result, and I had said that we would fall off a bit during the second half, so that wasn't much of a surprise to me. These games are leaving Moysie and the owners in no doubt as...

Definitely. Increase the fee or offer them a percentage of any future profit. That'll get sorted quite quickly (and, hopefully not, but likely matched by another club). The hard part will be convincing the player if reports of him wanting CL are...

Once fee agreed and in wades a champions League club... Though I'm sure we've checked the lad would be willing to join if not.

In which case there would definitely be scope for meeting in the middle you would think. If they want the release clause paying (which, to be fair, may as well be their starting negotiating position) then it's not happening.
