His agents were touting him around every single club going, that's why the deal stalled after seemingly being agreed with Atlanta, they were/are always going to take him to the highest bidders. He will only leave leave if someone will match his Atlanta salary or he changes his priorities...

True, but in that scenario they are getting a player for £3.5 million with potential to be a 15 million pound player. And who has performed at the levels required to generate a £15 million fee. Large sell on %'s are negotiated to lower the initial fee or tempt someone into selling an asset...

Sol Bryn our POTY

Don't disagree with any of that, some really good points. It feels to me like the club has almost backed themselves into a corner with the early bird price structure, with dictates everything thereafter. It only works, from the clubs perspective, if the early bird SC purchasers are buying...

Players are needed, at all levels of the academy system, even at the youngest age groups, to provide an optimum training and playing environment for those who may "make it". Just because players are given scholarships or even first year pro deals, doesn't mean the expectation is they'll become...

Shouting "Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot" from the away end at Loftus Road before George Friend proceeded to rifle in an absolute missile from 30 yards right in top bins!

In fairness Finn got injured just as he was on the cusp of the break through and hasn't quite got back to where he was.

Jude Bellingham could have gone to any top cub in the country, and plenty abroad, from the ages of 14. He didn't, as he saw a pathway to the first team and assurances from those above. We simply have not done that in the recent past with our academy players. Not saying they have been Bellingham...

They'd be saying that those sums do not add up. Fiistly, The 5 mil for Coburn will be weighted in add ons, so more likely 3, with the 5 only applicable if he has a stonker of a season personally, or millwall have a blinder. Secondly, Coburn was also likely on a modest wage, with all 5 of those...

The money isn't mind blowing enough, and we aren't desperate enough for it, for us to sell him now. He offers something different and hasn't reached anywhere near his peak. He also had a decent amount of time on his contract, so we could easily re-assess in january or the end of the season...

Spanish striker from Chelsea Marc Guiu. He was the Loan replacement for ELL that was all agreed in Jan, until Scott acquiesced Carrick by signing Ian Nacho instead.

When a CM's best games for you were at left back, that should tell you something

"we'll be up by xmas" My statement to my sister after Strachan's Jockification transfer window signings.

I don't disagree with what you are saying, but if championship level teams can consistently work you out and put in a tactical plan which means you struggle to contribute, would you have the requisite ability to play in the top division?
