Just takin the piss mate - GG has a contact who is about as quick as The Pink for football news - You need to wait till Saturday nigh/Sunday morning for news the rest had out the week prior. As for the clauses - It's been claimed from Reims chairman we were offering low cash up front with ridiculous clauses for Eketeke like winning the champions league
Ha ha. The quote itself was a real quote from the chairman i **** you not. Does make me wonder whether the clubs are literally taking us for a ride though. Both Botman and Carlos have agreed terms with us which can only be done i would imagine with the express acceptance from their respective clubs as the negotiations are going. Then because we have effectively played all our cards they are then saying, you know what, we want an extra £20m-£40m because we know you can afford it.
My contact is a contracts lawyer type person so he gets first hand info. I believe him in that respect. But it sounds like we are being pissed around by a lot of clubs. We are in danger of being tyre...... I mean erm fair game!
We are being ****ed about quite a bit to be fair. Whilst it will probably cost us our PL place this season, this hard line stance might benefit us going forward. I don't think Man City have paid over 50M for a player since they became mega rich.
No private jets spotted today but seems to be lots of helicopter activity around the Newcastle area this morning.
Looks like no Diego carlos and another game with lascelles this saturday. Carlos staying with Sevilla until summer it seems.
