Oh thats cheap

[Row x]

Oh thats cheap

Another report said over 9m, I wouldn't get hung up on reported figures

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Wouldn't really expect him to say no. Something he's dreamt about all his life.

Indeed. If we’d signed him in his prime you can only dream about the money we could have sold him for.

If he does sign I feel it’s written in the stars he scores the winner on Saturday.

Hannibal medical today?

Decent signing if it happens but I’d have preferred Billing tbh
Maybe we can get lucky and get both

[Newcastleclaret93]

Twitter is saying Mejbri signing today or tomorrow

[LongsideClaret]

Hannibal one of the ones today. Two wingers as well. Sounds like our main winger may be on the way out.

Koleosho???

Imagine that refers to Koleosho, in which case that’s pretty devastating news and looks like more lies on the “knock”.

We’d better be getting an exceptional fee for him.

[Hedontplayforyou]

If we are selling Koleosho then this is absolutely unbelievable

[RVclaret]

Absolutely embarrassing. F**k the replacements.

[jrgbfc]

Koleosho???

He's the only one we have left!

[RVclaret]

I couldn’t give a fly fk about the fee.

Poor from koleosho if he’s to go to wolves, for his career a season in the championship would do him a world of good

[NewClaret]

I’m also a big fan of Billing. Have liked him since the first day I saw him on the Turf. Would add real physical presence. No idea if theres anything in it though.

[KernowHouseClaret]

All these VK signed players leaving to me is a clear the decks moment. Perhaps SP gave them all an ultimatum, do you want to be here or not, if not feck off.

Bold move, but he needs people who want to be here

[NewClaret]

I couldn’t give a fly fk about the fee.

That’s a fair point.

It’s outrageous what’s going on on every level.

Not sure if Longsides message refers to signing two wingers makes it look that way or he has information that he is going.

[gandhisflipflop]

Koleosho going would be the straw that breaks the camels back for me

[Greekclaret]

In mission to Burnley 2 Matt Williams mentioned some players had wanted what if kompany leaves clauses putting in. He laughed and kind of joked it off. Think it’s clear what’s happening. Anyone who’s fit and young who Kompany signed is off

[Wokingclaret]

Accept relegation from the premier league at your peril and we gave it away

[Conroy92]

Koleosho going would be the straw that breaks the camels back for me

This.

If it happens we have gone back further than two seasons ago.

There is no excuses. We might as well get Dyche back in and gone down under him 2 years ago. Literally we have nothing to show for the last two years but a shitter squad and more debt.

[Jakubs Tash]

I'm actually not that bothered about Koleosho leaving - as long as it's for a lot of money.

He's not a great footballer. If we can bring 2 or 3 wingers in who are technically better players and still have a bit of pace about them then I'm personally fine with this.

People are banging on like Koleosho is Messi mark II. He's not!

[Murger]

So Koleosho is on his way? Absolutely ******* marvellous. What a ******* shitshow we’ve become.

[123EasyasBFC]

Odobert I can understand he proved it at the level but other than his pace koleosho really hadn’t shown much technical ability and then got injured, for him to jump ship straight away unless it’s a another 30m deal seems absolutely ridiculous.

The club also need to sort the admin out posting a picture of him ‘supporting the team’ on Saturday. Have they not learned by posting the kompany next season plans video when he was going to Bayern

[nyclaret]

We should be signing 2 wingers IN ADDITION to keeping Koleosho. Shambles.

[Hedontplayforyou]

His unrivalled pace would cause chaos at this level , we currently have zero fit wingers if this is the case, an unbelievable notion in recent tines

[jojomk1]

Leeds also interested in Billing

[Murger]

Didn’t somebody post the bid as £2.6m for Luca? Or did I imagine that?

[Hedontplayforyou]

Are we even interested in Billing?

[Wokingclaret]

If Trafford does go I wonder if we go for Travers as already speculated

[JimmyRobbo]

Koleosho going would be the straw that breaks the camels back for me

I'm not worried.

If we sell for a big profit and we daisy chain then I am quite content for it to happen. The re-investment is the important aspect and let's be honest, if there's anything the american owners have definitely done; it is invest in the playing stock.

We make a profit from sales and move on.

A sound business model.

In all honesty, why would you stand in the way of a young professional who is wanted by an EPL club? A player who missed half of his playing time through injury.

Move on.

[123EasyasBFC]

Koleosho doesn’t even have to be named in the 25 man squad so doesn’t even help with squad size but he then needs replacing.

We needed 2 wingers and koleosho so we now need 3

[NewClaret]

We should be signing 2 wingers IN ADDITION to keeping Koleosho. Shambles.

The other two are left wingers so it’s hard to conclude we’re keeping Koleosho unless we’re moving him to the right.

The two are the players I didn’t rate.

Hannibal a good signing though.

[matttheclaret]

Didn’t somebody post the bid as £2.6m for Luca? Or did I imagine that?

I think that's what we paid when we signed him

[JimmyRobbo]

Didn’t somebody post the bid as £2.6m for Luca? Or did I imagine that?

I think that refers to the fee we paid.

I think he was described as a 2.6m winger.

[NewClaret]

Are we even interested in Billing?

Nobody knows I don’t think. More hope than expectation.

[LongsideClaret]

We should be signing 2 wingers IN ADDITION to keeping Koleosho. Shambles.

I agree.

Fee likely somewhere between the Berge and Odobert numbers. We’ve rejected the offers so far but they may come in again.

[RVclaret]

He's not a great footballer. If we can bring 2 or 3 wingers in who are technically better players and still have a bit of pace about them then I'm personally fine with this.

People are banging on like Koleosho is Messi mark II. He's not!

It’s unbelievable to me that people can have the view they don’t care about our best players leaving. Amdouni next. Trafford. When does it stop? What a joke. Oh and absolutely no one has said anything about Messi or made that comparison, very weird comment.

[123EasyasBFC]

Who was the young French winger playing in Swiss league us and Leeds were linked with, was it Sanches or something like that, maybe he’s one of the wingers

[gandhisflipflop]

I'm not worried.

If we sell for a big profit and we daisy chain then I am quite content for it to happen. The re-investment is the important aspect and let's be honest, if there's anything the american owners have definitely done; it is invest in the playing stock.

Move on.

I take your point from the players point of view. I’d just hoped that we would put up more of a fight to keep him or persuade him to give us one more season that’s all.

On a seperate note. I hope one of the 2 wingers is that French lad from Paris fc

[Row x]

Koleosho going would be the straw that breaks the camels back for me

Depends who we replace him with

Remind me again how many games he's played for us?

Yes, he could be very good, and I don't want to lose him, but not one I'd be sending my season ticket back for

[gandhisflipflop]

I agree.

Fee likely somewhere between the Berge and Odobert numbers. We’ve rejected the offers so far but they may come in again.

Good. Let’s keep rejecting them

[claretskeith]

I'm actually not that bothered about Koleosho leaving - as long as it's for a lot of money.

Then you're not bothered about staying down.

[AGENT_CLARET]

If Trafford does go I wonder if we go for Travers as already speculated

B@stard's are rumoured to be talking to him

[nyclaret]

Who was the young French winger playing in Swiss league us and Leeds were linked with, was it Sanches or something like that, maybe he’s one of the wingers

I assume the 2 wingers will be Sarmiento and Johnston.

[ervi34]

So are they actually so thick they think we can push for promotion with the likes of Sarmiento/Anthony/Johnston/Vitinho on the wing? Good luck with that.

Awful transfer window, and I don't want to hear excuses about profit and that you can't keep players who want to leave.

[Hedontplayforyou]

The other two are left wingers so it’s hard to conclude we’re keeping Koleosho unless we’re moving him to the right.

The two are the players I didn’t rate.

Hannibal a good signing though.

If this is anything to go by I’m guessing at Jayden Anthony and Mikey Johnston

[123EasyasBFC]

Sarmiento is one of the winger medicals

[matttheclaret]

I agree.

Fee likely somewhere between the Berge and Odobert numbers. We’ve rejected the offers so far but they may come in again.

So about £25 million

See, all these outgoings have looked pretty good business in isolation. The fees have been good. But it's just gone way too far now and I don't think we're going to be left with anything remotely resembling a team/squad that's capable of a promotion challenge
