They need the money really if they're to reshape their squad and this might force them to accept our bid sooner if they can see we're serious about moving onto another target.

No.

Please tell me you don't believe that

We are a joke when it comes to negotiations.

We are clearly offering some big sums of money so describing it as a joke is in itself a joke

Seems like wages could be a barrier but Nixon won't know either. I'd hope - perhaps falsely- that we haven't been pursuing him unless we had some confidence of agreeing personal terms

Wages has nothing to do with the club accepting a fee

Perhaps it's the structure of the deal that is significant

I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting there is going to be a bidding war for him Has definitely been suggested but no one can come up with a rational explanation of how that could be so. Presumably Hull are satisfied with £10m and if other clubs meet that valuation presumably they will leave...

taio

A few sports reporters, including some from Burnley are very skeptical of this happening. Strange how the 15 minutes of jubilation of this fee being accepted has ended and the negativity has started. Not to say that this is a done deal, and it does seem like there's more to it than just him coming ...

Can someone explain this bidding war concept when it seems they've already accepted our bid?

Nobody has a clue on here whether he will sign or not so not sure why you say it with such certainty

taio

Don't for a moment believe that this is a ploy simply to do the Brady deal.

taio

If we can get this one done he should be a terrific signing. We really do seem to mean business.

taio

If Man United do allow him to leave on loan I reckon they'll have to pay a decent proportion of his wages.

Rashford wont be leaving because he's too important to them.

taio

Appalling choice of bread Macca, which invalidates your view completely

taio

Seriously doubt he has the ability to step up to the premier league. Would be a poor signing but don't for a moment think there's any truth in it.

Anyone who says HP sauce instead of brown sauce sits down to wee.

taio

Probably the worst performance I've seen at PL level - truly awful

I shouldn't accuse you of lacking sauce experience coz I tend to have bacon without any sauce

taio

I hope Sunderland are more interested than us

For the record, Ketchup is allowed on Sausages and Burgers, ketchup is sweeter so it just doesn't go with salty bacon. If you think otherwise then you are wrong.

You are clearly clueless and lack sauce experience if that's your view.

taio

Sausage = Brown sauce
Bacon = red sauce

taio

I'm sort of thinking that if we beat Leicester Macca thinks we won't then go on and lose every other game.

Not really given Marney has had another good season and his injury was often cited as the reason we got relegated last time - he's more than a 'squad player' to us.

taio

Also fair to point out that Dyche played Tarky in midfield last season, which was before Ablue got all weird and obsessed about it. To be fair ABC said it before Tarkowski played DMC - Birmingham if I remember correctly...for a few minutes. It's not the ridiculous suggestion some people believe but...

taio

Got to say I prefer it when he isn't in our midfield at this level. Excellent Championship player, a little limited at this level, a sort of jack of all trades. Simply clueless. Jack of all trades? He has always played one role for us. And he's been very good at it. One of my favourite players over...

taio

You've missed my point (partly), Stephens is a two or three years older than Hendrick and, hence, Hendrick is the better bet in terms of a longer term investment. That would all depend on Stephens' fee - we wouldn't be paying nearly what we paid for Hendrick. And Stephens is only 27 and more than l...

Dread to think of the state of your under crackers after our 23 game undefeated run last season

I'm not understanding you point because you said Trump supported a ban on abortion by rape victims which is most certainly incorrect. Now you're bundling around trying to find ways of making you look like you were right all along which is quite funny

From the link you posted: "We support state and federal efforts against the cruelest forms of abortion, especially dismemberment abortion procedures, in which unborn babies are literally torn apart limb from limb. We call on Congress to ban sex-selection abortions and abortions based on disabilities...

I thought it was best to check given how regularly you pull people up on here if they are factually incorrect. As expected it was baseless nonsense. You believed you were correct which is stupid.

Don't think Keane will leave in January but if he was to it'd be for much more than £20m surely

taio

Why? We're only tenth out of one season in 3 PL campaigns. Theres' clubs that aren't doing so well but have an established base within this league. Sure, it may sound negative, but it's also realistic. Also, we don't pay wages like all the other clubs, another factor. We'll get who we get. This isn...

Thought he was out of contract this summer so that's not an explanation then. So I can see why the figures being quoted may seem on the low side.

taio

I think most PL clubs would be pretty stupid not too try and get Snodgrass in considering the amounts being bid. He'd be a bargain for most PL sides on current form at £6-8M, although I suspect it would take a lot more to get him but you have to question why all these bids seem low? maybe clubs hav...

Everton had just 29% possession against Man City. Everton won 4-0.

I'm happy that we don't try and take most of the other sides on in a possession and passing game because it's more than likely we'd wouldn't be where we are now. That doesn't make us 'poor', which in my view is an unfortunate choice of word. If we can stay in the PL after this season and beyond we c...

taio

It sounds like it's not £10m in the first instance; it's £6m. Presumably the additional £4m would be subject to other conditions like Boro staying in the PL, Bamford making so many appearances etc. Otherwise using a headline figure of £10m in considering whether it's value for money is misleading - ...

No - we are overachieving so don't try to fix something that's not broke.

Just because someone costs £13 million why does that mean he should be getting £50,000 a week, Ibrahimovic cost nowt but doubt he plays for nowt.

If he ends up going for around £13m it seems reasonable to expect £50k a week, which has been the figure quoted in the media

We don't need another central midfielder, Defour Hendrick Barton and Marney are fine. Tarkowski and Arfield as emergency central midfielders who will probably never be needed as central midfielders. We do have more pressing priorities i.e. winger and striker but of course we might be without Barton...

I'd say street parking or one of the pay and displays near the police station. Then you can get away fairly quickly. Not Padiham which is just an unnecessary wind-up.
