£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[rochdaleblue]

Hmmm.

Even if that were true it still plays into the club's business model. They want these players sold to try to meet each successive manager's spending demands.

With all respect, if they wanted these players sold, why where they alledgedly offered the highest contracts in the clubs history?

I recall that programme Follyfoot; the lass in it was always feeding her horses oats. Can't recall Ronnie Barker appearing in it though...

Ah the lightening tree , didn't call it follyfoot though

You have to spend and spend wisely. Simple really. Spending also means having the will and determination to offer deals to keep your best here.

What happens if you spend wisely but have a negative net spend?

All your players knees explode and you get relegated to the conference

Friction burn zat.

We should reject all bids of in excess of 2m for Niasse and Joel as any club bidding in excess of that amount is out of control and reckless. And as true custodians of the game we must ensure the sanctity of the market remains intact.

We must spend wisely. And sell wisely. To ensure that all clubs get fairness and equitable treatment.

Up Everton.

Allegedly.

As said, even if they did it doesn't mean they would find it a great chore to go with the sale.

They dont fight tooth and nail because ultimately it's a how the club operates: it sells its best players all the time.

You stand still, because your best players were sold off to afford the payments for those wise purchases.

Not hard to understand really.

You mean the way United kept Ronaldo, Spurs kept Bale, the RS kept Suarez, etc. Oh..hang on........

 

[Connor]

OK then, I bow to your greater knowledge

Cheers

Rooney.

Rom. (arguably).

"All the time".

Back on topic. This will be done. All the signs in place. Player wants it, price pretty well matched, Swansea looking at replacements, apparently.

I don't think that's a good come back if I'm honest mate seeing as the players mentioned went to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
