    I said earlier that I believe he worked hard during his loan spell but as soon as he signed permanently he thought he had made it

    The fact he’s moving for 7 million makes a mockery of all the exaggerated nonsense you see and hear about him being worth less than half what we paid for him. That’s a literal real life point about why you don’t buy players like him for 4 million whether he’s been * or not.

    We overpaid by about 3 million because of the boards incompetence and panic.

    Can guarantee we get most of our money back for Trusty as well. And make a profit on Engels if we sold him tomorrow.

    It shows that if we actually spent it on better targets now and again, we'd be laughing.

    Get the point but at 4m I think we accept a poor pierod from him at 9m you then expect a lot more 4m for bench impact player sound better than 9m tbh so with every missed shot and opportunity at 9m the pressure just ramps right up

    £7m is his Villa performance and that alone. Not his only performance but down there, that gets money on the table

    You can guarantee he will be in the starting line up tomorrow.

    That’s the thing - I don’t even think it will be goodbye. If he isn’t gone today he isn’t going. That’s my feeling.
    But I’ll take a hat trick to soften the blow of having to keep him lol

    Nah we've been given until 9pm tomorrow or they'll pull out. Basically they've let us not get * with no striker. Good guys.

    A huge backward step if he is in the squad, hopefully he gets his move and then spills the beans on * has been going on behind the scenes at our club.

    It is all relative though. We signed Kwon 750k. Reports were we made money on him. Yang? £2.5 mil but we haven’t accepted £1.5 mil bid so I’d imagine we want our money back or more.

    I see what you’re saying about the figure but we all on this thread have said “* me take that fee and sell him now” because we all think we’re doing them over.

    Don’t necessarily think idah proves we should be spending around that on more players. Good scouting we could have had a player better than idah for 3 times as less. It should always be scouting over cost

    Aye can't sell too many below what we paid. You dont want to end up man utd it, having to pay overs and always selling under. Sooner we invest this money into something, the less chance people will be trying to use us as a cash cow.

    Just need to avoid the English market at all costs. Some of the prices down there this window have been scandalous. Covid costs are well and truly over there now haha.

    I still don’t have a * clue how we managed to get o’riley when you see what’s happening now

    O'Riley had his head properly screwed on, when he joined MK Dons he was a free agent and got a low release clause in his contract, if it wasn't for that they would have held out for a much bigger fee and teams down south that were watching him would have almost certainly outbid us.
