In which corrupt high-ranking football club executives pocket fat wads of cash to turn a blind eye to institutional faults in their own organisation.

It’s gonna be about a top level conspiracy concerning the use of VAR

Oh how I long for the days of flight tracking. This new HARD BID reality is terrifying

Apart from Hibbert Osman Vaughan Anichebe Rooney Rodwell Barkley Davies Gordon

We apparently had an offer in the last window for 60 mill for Gordon. Rooney went for a record fee as a teenager back in the day and probably saved the club at the time. Rodwell and Barkley both went for decent fees.

Osman and Hibbert spent the entirety of their careers in our first team. Vaughan Anichebe Davies have all contributed.

I’m not sure we can say that the academy has produced nothing.

We could do with Antonee Robinson at this time as well had he not been moved on

There are no flights in the hard bid world, only catapult and cannon.

How can anyone keep up when Chelsea can just blow 10 million on a loan player for just half a season after spending the best part of 400 million this season anyhow.

Dunno but we’re trying to compete with Bournemouth, Leeds and Forest, not Chelsea.

On the Danjuma links, a very interesting player but personally fails on a few key fronts for us specifically. If a loan is planned to be made permanent.

His forward line versatility and output in relation to goals last year are engaging. Especially when you factor its in a top league and in Europe. He is a player that might be beginning an ascent as he enters his prime. In three years he may be worth double the fee.

That said there are a lot of variables to suggests that the needle hole is very thin in relation to that outcome. At 25 its also possible that his growth plate is close to its ceiling. Factor that in relation to the initial Villarreal move, in turn a sizable deal, and the margins for potential sell on or massive improvement may be slim. Thats a lot of caveats for a club that cant really afford any at the moment.

A loan is one thing, maybe even wise if without stipulations. More broadly though, if funds are limited I may question any bid eventually north of 30 million which is what i'd expect for Danjuma. We need steer away from such high outlays, especially this window. Sure there may be more money in subsequent deals but as evident in our current team outlays add up in the aggregate, and limit future windows.

Currently the two Lorient forwards I think are more attractive propositions at our development stage and have a lot more going for them longterm. In price, age and considerable quality/upside in their own right.

How's it hanging, Bill? Bidding hard or hardly bidding?
