I hope so. Not overly confident though, but we certainly should. If we can't make a stand now then frankly we never will.
You should deffo make him stay. I hope your club grow a pair of balls. You guys should start a fan campaign outside saint marys to force him to stay and potentially rot in the reserves
Yeah I can't see it though. I think it makes the board look weak if we sell to them after the tapping up thing. Looks like reporting them was a dick waving exercise to try and get some good will from the support, which worked. Could backfire big time now though if we sell him and Bertrand and try and do the bare minimum in terms of replacements...espescially if we get off to a bad start, be a big backlash from the fans. I said on our board when it became apparent that we had more information over the tapping up thing that we didn't give to PL that it seemed obvious that we didn't want to kill the deal.
Barcelona have warned Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho, 25, they will move for Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele, 20, if the Reds reject their offer. (Sun) Superb tapping-up by the Spanish giants!
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is interested in Swansea striker Fernando Llorente, 32, to act as back-up to new signing Alvaro Morata - but Swansea want £30m. (Independent) What a great way to tap-up a player! "Come to Chavs to sit on our bench, playing second-fiddle to a player who probably going to flop!"
Newcastle are looking for a new striker, says manager Rafael Benitez. (Newcastle Chronicle) Sissoko can play up front.
Sky Sources () reporting that PSG will bid 35m for Sanchez. If that's going to be the best offer, I'd keep the bugger and let his contract run down, rather than let him go, for what is now considered 'pocket change'. Not that I wish for Arsenal to do well, but if they have a good season, even maybe go all out in the Europa cup, he may stay. Well worth the chance.
As opposed to Poncetto saying "Come and be a bridesmaid, we aren't going to strengthen as Danny needs to put his yacht into dry dock"
He's a very stupid boy and I hope Chelsea not only punish him severely but sell him as quickly as possible.
