Shame that Stoke and Hull aren't in the top flight anymore. They were always good for a 15 million bid.

Yep we are in dire need of a new 'special relationship'. We've lost all our previous partners, Stoke, Hull, Swansea, Sunderland.

Love a bit of contradictory ITK. I'm choosing to believe that there is money available for the right players, but that we need to move people off the wage bill first.

Not strictly true. The club hasn't had a penny of my money this year, and won't have for the foreseeable.
You’re just bitter about Grealish...

ITK seems to be a bit contradictory but I guess that’s the nature of the beast. I’m not sure how we “have money” but a high quality player like Werner would cost too much. You just get the feeling that we are getting further and further out of touch with transfers.

So you’re the reason we’re skint...

Hey, I offered £20 and a fluid sample to the Grealish fund.

The club said if I contact them again they'd call the police.

I said good luck with that, the police won't investigate until I send you an abusive tweet.

We've not spoken since.

It's also selling or letting go players that we don't have spaces in the squad for, although it amounts to the same thing.

Dembele has gone, and we'd get the cream of bugger all for Vorm with him being 35 and out of contract in summer so may as well let him leave.

There's 2 squad spaces we didn't have in summer... it's just become another excuse for the BSoDL to lap up at this point imo.

I think he has. Janssen ex from prev. ITK - the number was 10m. That's a fair price.
Is it? If you were a fan of another Premier League team and you were getting Janssen for £10m, would you be happy with it? Or would you suggest that it'd be better to take a punt on a player who hadn't already tried and failed to make an impact at this level?

Username doesn’t match up then. The window isn’t shut yet.

You know that we have heard this hogwash repeatedly....." the window hasn't closed yet". If I got a pound for every occasion it was mentioned the last 2 windows... I'd be able to pay for a new midfielder.... exaggeration intended.

If we were serious then negotiations would have happened with interested clubs in December and players joined 1 January... something like Liverpool did December 2017 with VVD. So a poster like the one you reference is quite balanced in his assessment of the ITK received.

This thread has a motto and its this: Ah well (sigh)

If you haven't used it yet, feel free to fill your boots when the window has closed.
