hello tolmie,i had it on very good authority that leon bailey was over in Manchester(100%) and was speaking to pep at the private jet area(signature) of Manchester airport, have you heard anything on this, im putting 2 and 2 together (sane leaving ,bailey coming in)We aren't currently.
We aren't currently.
Such an ridiculous decision. We have a guy who's been lights out from the second he started playing in Germany, potentially world class at a position we're buying for anyway, who we can get for a 20% discount to everyone else AND would be club trained and we're not getting him because he acted liked a 17 year old two years ago? Txiki better have something pretty fucking special planned for this summer otherwise if thats the case.no chance this deal happens
I mean even if you did think to do the swap (which I would not advocate). You certainly don’t sell/swap your player when the player is not in form as you will get less than what you should. If we were to sell players you sell them at top value. Just look at Coutinho when the Dippers sold him. No way was he a £130 mill player but his form at the time was unbelievable therefore masked what Barca decided to play.Raz is brilliant, OK he's been a bit rubbish of late but he's remarkable. I hope we don't go all Real Madrid and swap and change our best players willy nilly.

It's funny, I was remembering back to the (second) Laporte thread and the contingent who didn't want us to go back in for him because he "had his chance and turned us down". Don't hear from them too much anymore though.
I’ll be absolutely fuming if we don’t go for him.
We’ll probably sign some B- level player instead.
