Sullivan’s actions all driven by cash flow. Paqueta deal conveniently late to close will be the perfect excuse for why we couldnt spend any more. Window closes and net spend will be a few million in the black and wage bill reduced significantly yet again.  Last few windows we have been getting a lot more out than in to reduce wages and help cash flow. Symptoms of a failing business run by an incompetent owner

[Fortunes Hiding]

We do need a CB, but I don’t know what’s happened to Todibo and Mavropanos in the last 2 games, playing really well. 

Todibo almost seems like a rolls Royce at the back, or have I got my C&B glasses on?

[Massive Attack]

He'd organise, lead at the back and take no prisoners from the opposition with a wealth of successful Relegation avoidance. Closest thing we'd get to a Ginge/Dawson type which we've long been crying out for to get a grip of this defence. It would be only a short term fix but needs must if we want to have any chance of survival this season. If it can be achieved, even if it cost close to £5M I'd sanction the deal if that was the cost. Need him more than Traore by a long distance.

[Mad Dog]

Traore coming in on a free,  £ to be paid if we stay up.  If we drop then free transfer......another Sully special 


 

Soooooo free transfer then

[El Scorchio]

Bloke seems a cսnt but would instantly be probably our best defender, as probably would the bloke from Brentford who can't get in their team.

[Massive Attack]

Forrest had offer for Dunk turned down. IF we were in for Dunk, I think it significantly increases our chances of survival. 



 

Another Dunk fan if that was possible. Didn't think he'd be leaving Brighton this season. He would be exactly what we need at the back right now.

- Spurs keeper Kinsky supposedly very close.
- Paqueta deal also expected to close soon
- Been linked to some pretty ambitious defenders yesterday....both starters at Union Berlin (Doekhi and Leite), and Atalanta's Isak Hien.

Not seen much of Kinsky but if he can come out and claim a cross and not be rooted on his line at corners then that is a yes from me

Listened to the cսnt Whetstone's podcast at lunch 

Paqueta deal agreed but won't be finalised for a few days....typical Sullivan

So still no confirmation on Paqueta and/or Traore, so will be the usual late rush bollocks. If we are pushing to loan Paqueta back then you know it's that silly cսnt Nuno behind it. never known such a love in.

Surely Nuno can see we don't need him. Last 3 games without Paqueta and we win all 3.  Get him on the plane.

Yea, since my post I've read some bits that the loan talk has quietened down now, thankfully.

A rumour of a different type going around that Mark Noble is no longer at the club, apparently James Collins said to somebody at Spurs last week that he's no longer there and he is no longer listed on the clubs website. Don't shoot the messenger etc.

[Westham67]

It's not the best of sources. The story makes sense if we can get him on loan and buy him if we stay up. He is out of favour at his club, a CB, and right back Hien from Atalanta

[Mad Dog]

That mopey, overrated, ball giving away, diving, dissent red card, "non gambling", pretend phone throwing away, lying, ungrateful cսnt fucked off yet?

[Sweep]

L'Equipe in France have us in talks with Chelsea for Disasi on loan.

[Sir Alf]

Sullivan may be interested as he loves everything that is “2-Bobb”

[twoleftfeet]

Bobb is massively overrated. 

[Massive Attack]

 

[RootsRadical]

SSN now reporting the Paqueta deal is just over 41m Euros which is pretty much what they offered 2 weeks ago and we rejected.
Apparently we want them to loan him back to us until the summer but he wants to go now.
Seems like he does have us over a barrel afterall.

This seems to happen too often when we sell big names.
Payet, Arnautovic, Kudus and now Paqueta. 
Even Rice only wanting to go to Arsenal stopped us getting even more for him.

Monday News. AM. Dan Niel attracting West Ham
PM. Dan Niel medical at Ipswich.
Rodriguez has joined Valencia.
Why the fuck are we not trying to get Bobb instead of Traore. Fulham are having a result getting rid of a has been and reacing him with a City £35m youngster.

[Massive Attack]

Are the English FA going to cover the other 40 million since we had him lined up with Man city before they rolled out their baseless investigation?

Baseless? Come on now.. 🏞 *Kerplink!*

[Massive Attack]

I have every faith that Sullivan will now activate his cunty clause button and instead go and loan a PSG Defender they have zero use for. Geezer's an Email negotiating King!
