    Rose refused to leave, after that outburst he should have been sent to the reserves permanently and told to find a new club or never play football again for the remainder of his contract, instead of being brought back into the team, no matter how short we were squad wise.

    Exactly

    Poch saw Bentaleb as a key part of his plans, but didn't hesitate to get shot of him when he started acting up - yet Rose acts up yet was allowed to stay

    Erm…. In principle I agree but, Danny Rose did suffer from mental illness. So it's understandable that he would be treated differently and taken care of somewhat by the club.

    And how did he repay that treatment?

    ...this is going to run and run, isn't it?

    Manu Lonjon has reported that we're set to meet with Lille in the coming days to discuss a transfer, what with the aforementioned attempts by Lille to sell him to Napoli against his will

    Gee, I do hope that some former Saltypool defender who has mystifyingly been employed as a pundit for decades doesn't see this as an opportunity to go full DGC...

    The Third Annual Tanguy Ndombele Transfer Saga Watch
    Le10Sport are reporting that Bayern are looking to sign Ndombele this summer

    ...hang on, Bayern? That can't be right, he's got five years on his contract, not five days. That would involve them paying a fee for somebody, which they rarely do...but, of course, Levy's a cheapskate

    Right Back Watch
    Le10Sport report that Timothy Castagne has requested permission to speak with us over a summer transfer

    Coincidentally, the Standard are reporting that Aurier is pushing to leave this summer, which would presumably free up the funds (and squad place) for this to go through

    What exactly has he done (off the field) that is so bad? Yeah on the field his form has gone off a cliff and he was clearly out of shape but people treat him like he’s been seen wearing Arsenal shirts on days off

    He got fat, constantly moaned to the press, slagged off the fans and generally destroyed any value that he had.
    It's clear that he didn't put in the hard work in training after whining to The Scum and he always thought that he was better than the club.
    If he wanted to leave, then he should've found an appropriate time to put in a transfer request and pissed off up North.

    KBS, the South Korean state broadcaster (in other words, like the BBC but admits to being a state broadcaster...), report that we are in negotiations with Beijing Guoan, with Guoan demanding €17m - even though, just a few weeks ago, they said he could go for €13.5m

    So...call it £13.5m and both parties are happy, yeah?

    Championship Rando Watch
    The Daily Wail report we've made a £500k offer for Wigan's 15-year old centre midfielder Alfie Devine

    Schalke Bring & Buy Sale Watch
    A couple of Schalke players are on the slate today

    First up is their Turkish centre back Ozan Kabak, whose name has been linked with us a few times in recent weeks, and Turkish sources say that we have entered...oh, right, "Turkish sources"

    Second is their American midfielder Weston McKennie, who is deployed either as a DM or as a box-to-box CM but can also fill it as a CB, and is noted for his workrate in pressing anything that comes within ten feet of him and usually coming off the best - so we're definitely looking at a 6 other than Hojbjerg...and at that point you wonder if that story got out to nudge Southampton in the ribs

    I thought Liverpool were close to signing McKennie for around £20million?

    McKennie's being linked with a bunch of teams at the moment, with the Chavs and Hertha Berlin also being linked - although he says he wants a Premier League move, which presumably rules Hertha out

    Could be just the standard tactic of linking Liverpool to every Bundesliga player going because, well, Klopp (TM).

    McKennie looks like he could do the business though.

    Not sure the need to do a separate domestic only window (Prem can’t trade with Prem, but can with EFL) but it is what it is I guess. Here’s hoping for once, the gaffer can have a good few faces in long before those deadlines.

    If we had bid for all 4 2 or 3 seasons ago would probably have got all of them for less than 20 million <doh>. Me thinks we missed the boat now
