Great player!
This is so obviously a fake bid. You don't get a deal like this done at short notice unless (a) you are an attractive proposition- we're not or (b) you offer ridiculous money to player and club - we're skint.

An even if by some miracle we did sign him, won't matter a toss without creativity and/or wide players.

Another ghostly William Kenwright production.
 
No its fairly simple, you dont sanction a move, until you have improved or at the very least have a deal in place for replacement if there is a relationship break down, there was no difference selling Gordon or Sunday or today - but if we did today - if we couldn't have got anyone in we had a choice to make - now we dont we are weaker. Its that simple mate. We've limited out choices and made ourselves weaker and short, when even before we decided t sell Gordon we need stretehening - sanctioning his sale was stupid. Nothing to do with rating the plaer or not - player trading it was stupid as the point is making yourself stronger, we did the opposite.

I love how people expect us to pull moves like this (lining up a replacement before selling) but we've literally done it like twice in the entire history of the club

They've bought mostly crap, so I don't believe they have in in them to not buy more crap, if crap is all that's available.

That's a lot of crap. They'd still buy as a last-ditch act of appeasement.

I'd rather nobody was signed if that's the case but there is definitely something going on in terms of restrictions or other business, if a club so deep in the mire as we are sells a player for £45m with the bulk of that in an up-front payment, and does no incoming transfers. It runs deeper than the club being unattractive, much, much deeper than that.
