I don’t usually make posts like this, but some of the posts on this thread since today and yesterday have been of an unusual degree of excremental purity. Even for BM.

For what it's worth (probably very little)...

Fucking hell, the bid has gone down already! lol

Excrement = BM so it makes sense.

I think you might be exaggerating his influence. Had Guardiola taken to sitting on a bucket touchline, then perhaps, but I’d like to think that our transfer dealings are a little more collective and sophisticated.

I don't think Bielsa's input was the sole reason, but it certainly may have been a factor. It's no secret that we were looking for someone to take the heat off Rodri in something more like a Fernandinho mould. Pep did talk to Bielsa, and Bielsa did speak very highly of Phillips. No doubt Phillips was on a shortlist of many, but availability and affordability will of course have been key components. I just think Bielsa's input perhaps put Phillips higher up the shortlist than he otherwise would have been:

Guardiola details when he first heard of Man City summer signing Phillips

Manchester City summer signing Kalvin Phillips made his name under Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United.

So the Jury is still out for you then Oakie?

Even after 40+ years I still regard him as shit. However for me, if he can get this transfer over the line then he may go from a shit player to a meh.

They wont accept 60 not a chance. He has 85 mil release clause next year maybe theyd accept that now

I’ve no idea. But then I’m a supporter and not on Txiki’s wage to have somebody lined up.

What I do know is that ifwe are relying on Barry Silkman calling us to give us ideas them something has gone seriously tits up.

Mahrez and Gundo scored 60 goals in the last 2 seasons. Seems negligent not to addressing that.

You`re certainly living up to your name !!

It's a mixed bag, as a lot of their fans want the money to rebuild West Ham's midfield. They seem happy to sacrifice him for the right money.

But letting wee Davie loose with money?

HE DID NOT WANT TO STAY

Don't bother, he already made up his mind even the proof of Gundo letter of goodbye on internet already in there explaining the reason of why this is perfect goodbye for Gundo.
