At some point the crowd has to flip doesn't it?

We have only briefly had that when Scotty S was doing his stuff and got the full force of the anger, surely now the South Bank and co are going to turn on Jeff? What more do they need

It's true, if they don't, it's at that point people have the owners they deserve.

It got me thinking about the ticket prices generally though, and you look at the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough who's cheapest tickets are £560/574 and both average low-mid 20,000's. Boro have flirted with the play offs a couple of times and Wednesday flirting with League One so maybe football fans or the wider British public are just accepting of having the piss taken out of them.

Sheffield Wednesday haven't been in the top division for a generation FFS. Maybe we're the weirdos who give it up.

E&S say the Ramsdale deal not completely dead but will need a serious shift from one of the clubs. I would say, pay attention at the back

Wolves wanted to take Ramsdale on loan and were prepared to include a £20million obligation to buy in the deal

Arsenal want at least £30m on the obligation

£30m seems a bit high for him

At the risk of being told to “buy a ticket and start it yourself” by Tredders again, I was surprised there wasn’t more anger vented towards Shi/Fosun at the weekend. Particularly as Gaz seems pretty popular so isn’t going to get any of the brunt.

It’s a sad reflection of where things stand, though. It’s more apathy then anger.

Didn’t they buy him for £24m? So they’ll want to make a bit of profit on him & are probably factoring in inflation. Wolves will know this information so could at least offer them their money back, but that’s not the Shi way.

Will presume our £20m is because there will also be a loan fee on top that pushes it close to £30m and they want that fee + £30m.

No doubt a breakdown on % of wages as well. He is on at least £130k a week.
 
Seem to be focused on a homegrown keeper.

It's OK, Palace will want just above what we are prepared to pay.

I think the more accurate way of putting this is that we will offer just below what we know Palace want...
 
Not a great look going cap in hand to Johnstone either, when we have publicly been chasing a different target. How many times have we seen players say “I came because I knew of their interest early” and “everyone wants to feel wanted” etc etc etc.

Will Johnstone really want to come knowing he wasn’t our top target? Maybe he won’t care, who knows.

Players don't care. They know clubs look at multiple people.
Whoever signs as the forward for Forest will know they have been bidding for loads for example.

He'll want to know Sa is off though I'd have thought.
My prediction Sa and Johnstone go for similar fees, we sign a Mendes client and he takes a drink on 3 of the 4 deals this week.

Sa will be off.
Might not be this week though. Saudi window will be open for another month.
