Well to the moaners on here it mainly blue boy and Widj123 it appears from Ashtons interview my comment was right. It was the players reps who said this was their players request as didn’t want to be proved out of a move to the prem if relegation happened. So would you rather as I said previously make 10 mill in one season from someone who was by most of the same idiots on here and I quote ‘not good enough for the championship’ or not get him and make 10 million in the process?? Some proper lack of football knowledge and on this page from the same moaners we’d be in administration again if they ran the club!

Also the lad probably isn’t sure about us as he’s come from a massive club like Barcelona to Chelsea then possibly to the second tier so give the lad a break
Personally prefer the Man City lad however people moaned Delap wasn’t that good and not tested now same for this guy same people moaning Delap wasn’t good enough now moaning we haven’t got enough for him. You couldn’t make it up on here sometimes
Best thing is most the people moaning now didn’t think he was even worth 15 million we paid and I quote ‘he didn’t score many goals in the championship’ ‘we need someone better ‘ blah blah blah
What’s negative? We make 12 million at least after paying Man City in one year. There’s no guarantee he will improve either. His agent would’ve put a realistic ceiling for us to secure a transfer in the first place in case we went down if we hadn’t agreed to that we wouldn’t be sitting here with a 12 million pound profit would we? Not sure why people can’t see that. Let’s also be honest it could’ve gone the other way as he hardly scored many for stoke or hull and if not for us could’ve been in the championship again worth NOWHERE near that price. Some people on heres glass is always half empty.
Don’t get this. What he’d rather have Delap play only half the games next season at a top club who already have a number one striker than play every game in the championship? Toney has been picked and he plays in one of easiest leagues in the world my mum would top score in and she has rheumatoid arthritis! There’s plenty of international players in the championship Faes is one of the first names on Belgium’s team sheet last season with Leicester.
Again Lee James you’re talking about things you know nothing about as the club have not said any rumours just you pal. Villa matched our agreed fee so got first dibs end of. Man City have to match any deal from anyone to get first dibs and that’s that. It’s quite simple you’re making up your own pointless headlines up from supposed rumours same rumours that had McKenna going to Chelsea or Utd at one point i date say! I can’t put emojis on here but I’d definitely put the rolling eyes one as you’re not listening to anyone apart from your own unsubstantiated rumours it’s laughable tbh
Again Lee James the sell on fee is from PROFIT of that sell on fee so if he cost 15 mill and we sell him to Man City at you’re deluded 40 mill that SELL ON PROFIT is against 25 million PROFIT and then the 20% sell on fee IF TRUE would be 5 million we’d either owe city or take off the fee. Again simple math we only owe city 20% of the profit not the WHOLE 40 mill fee
And as I say Lee James NOONE has confirmed this 40 million buy buy back for city the understanding is that they have to match any bid OVER 40 million same as Villa had on philogene they have to match it so a club can’t bid 50 million and city take him for 40 mill that’s not how that works so stop saying it is
Lee James you don’t need to explain the buy back clauses I fully understand but what you’re saying is incorrect. Let’s make this easy to understand. If a club comes in for 50 million bid they (city) have to match it. If city do and we was to sell they don’t just get 10 million from a 50 mill fee its 20% of PROFIT MADE. So if we brought him for 20 mill say that’s 30 mill profit and they get 20% of that which is 6 millions so not sure where your 10 million comes from it’s simple math. We then make24 mill in one season. On another note if he’s sniffing around the full England squad that puts more money on his price tag. If he’s given assurances that he can still be around the squad he may be best to give it a season and if we don’t go up he gets his move who knows it’s all speculation right now.
Lee James not sure where or why you keep saying 40 million but back clause because that’s just speculation the club have never come out and said that? Or have you got a friend of a friend working there’s who’s told your friends friend?
People were moaning on here that Phillips was an absolute waste of wages a couple of months ago whilst morsy was doing well now he’s the messiah and Morsys sh!te. You couldn’t make it up on here sometimes. Absolute whoppers some of the posters on here. Morsy has been THE most outstanding captain we have had at Portman road since Matt Holland so we’re talking over 20 odd years people have very short memories on here. There’s more than just Muric and morsy that have made mistakes this season that have cost us including Leif AND Walton but no one mentions that just Muric and now Morsy. He’s knocking on 34 this year and should we stay up we will need to look at an all action box to box player that’s a given as we have to love on but to single Morsy out is ridiculous.
Totally proud of all the boys today from back to front against a champions league team through to the next stages with ease. Should we stay up it will be against some real adversity with some of the refereeing decisions really costing us a lot of points and again today how Tuanzebe got a yellow for the first challenge when he won the ball whilst McGinn must’ve made 5 fouls before then and absolutely nothing. Seen this all season starting from the first game against Liverpool. Well done boys onto spurs with that bit of confidence ALL OVER the pitch don’t think you could change any player for the next game Phillips and Townsend surely deserve to keep their place and Palmer take a bow.
Linkboy you’re talking rubbish plans are already in place to upgrade to category one youth set up which Evan’s should’ve done way back when he had the chance. Obviously the initial project isn’t get the first team up and running and bringing in young players like we have and improving them will only help to attract the kids as well. The only way we get to pick the best from around the country AND keep them is buy doing this until then cat 1 places can take out kids.
Marinersnose what are you on about?? They’ve been on a great run since lampard came in until Leeds and us? lol not sure what else you want City struggled to overcome an Orient side ffs with 100 million pound player in their side. Not sure what some people expect.
People still talking about it being lower league opposition but only a few places below us whilst Man City and Newcastle struggle against league one opposition away. Perspective
Well TimmyH what was you saying?? Not sure what people were moaning about before kick off we need everyone to be match sharp and match fit for the run in for the league which they DONT get sitting on the bench. Do you guys want another prem season or to get another round or two in the cup we won’t be winning??? I love the FA Cup but the money is in the premier league unfortunately and that’s our priority if we want to get stronger and better. Szmodics injury is another reason you change the team imagine if that was Delap everyone would be moaning about him being risked in the cup! We need everyone competing for places and now Clarke and some others have given McKenna a huge headache in a good way. The gulf between the premier league and championship is bigger than it ever has been bigger than when Brighton and Brentford were promoted and the gulf between league one and the prem is even bigger which is really what we’ve done and explains so many incomings this season but it doesn’t happen overnight or in two transfer windows. We were struggling to get past Coventry last season home and away and have just beaten them easily with a ‘second string’ team.
Szmodics injury is another EXACT reason you make these changes imagine if that was Delap people would moan like fook he’s being risked. What do people want to give it a good go staying up or get a round or two further in the FA Cup??
