      Agreed but I'm not too sure it's good business leaking that information to the media. Pretty much saying "what are they smoking"? From all other clubs looking in on that they wouldn't like the idea of private conversations being made public.

      Flipside = don't waste our time.

      Public knowledge they bid more earlier. Makes them look much worse than we do.

      i am hoping that we get this wrapped up quickly because we need the money for a left back. I would not sell him to a rival, Palace or Sunderland would be perfect.

      His sale (and the money) aint the bottleneck for getting a left back. The boss is content with the options.

      We don't.

      We have countless millions available for a LB if we want to buy one.

      We don't need any money from sales. The only reason they'll happen is to get them off the wage budget and give them a chance to play first team football elsewhere.

      Well it would be nice to buy a new one.

      The current incumbent is a thick bag of sh*te!

      Yeah for sure. We've spent around £70m and recouped £45m or so. We've got loads more available with a net spend of £25m.

      He keeps getting selected, though. Unless we're just waiting on Milner to get fit.

      I think Gomez can play there too. Matip played there before I think. As for Benteke, hope this hurries up.

      Wow, Guardian was clairvoyant back in early  July. They reported a deal of 27m back then...wonder why it took us so long to accept it?

      Getting most of our money back on a player who scored 9 goals (quite a few of them winners) in the league season...(and in the process relegating Aston Villa) isn't half bad.

      A terrific signing it will be for Palace though.

      Best of luck Christian. Good person and a good player, just another case of a square peg in a round hole, but best move for all parties involved.

      Hopefully we can use this money to address some of our real issues.  :f_whistle:

      And there will be no new left back.
