Its not exactly surprising is it. He has a buyout clause so it's gonna be as easy as we want it to be, or not.


seriously when the footballing world knows we've just broken the transfer fee for a defender any club we deal with will want some of that.

Can't see us buying anyone really.
It's difficult to find a player on the cheap who's really good -other clubs seemed to have accepted that fact in this window

All made up. No intel. No named sources. Pure guesswork. Boring.

Got to love it haven't you.

I find our transfer policy very frustrating, generally.

No quotes as ever but it doesn't say they won't sell or any other clubs are bidding. IF we've identified him as the replacement for Walker then I'm happy for them to play hardball with Levy over the fee. Levy can be frustrating at times but when we need to haggle over fees he's one of the best around.

Just looking at Englands successfull under 19 team and saw how Marcus Edwards was an unused substitute in a team that was comprised nearly exclusively of Manchester City and Chelsea kids. Even Poch can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear so we'll have to hope that we're not left too far behind in that area as well-
Or Levy will need to put his reluctant hand in his pocket more often in the future

Just because Marcus was not picked does not mean his not talented.

But KWP played left back in the team who won the under 20s World Cup

Not saying that Marcus is lesser to anyone
And we all know our academy is a top facility - just shocked at the money spending clubs dominance in this area as well and wanted to mention it

How does 'holding out for the release clause' translate to playing hardball? Nob 'eads!!!
