Incoming? Lewis Dobbin

To be fair, that's more than Andre Brooks has scored in his career and there's been enough moaning we didn't get enough for him.

Brooks is a bit different as a player, in any case we got a good fee for him, and if he wants to go, I couldn't care less. Just disappointing it's to a divisional rival

English tax. Andre is Jamaican

Can't really complain. For Dobbin/Southampton read Cannon/United. Hopefully Dobbin is as much as a millstone for them

He won't be will he, because he's got some pace and ability, neither of which we bothered to look for when spunking our '10m'

Oh so we didn't have it all tied up a week ago? Colour me fucking shocked.

We were in for a loan but they decided it was sale only.

Oh I've no doubt we were in for him, it's the various claims that it was all done last Monday that I take issue with. It's not a pop at the club.

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

I think there’s not much can be done if someone changes the goal posts. I think it’s a case of the verbal agreement not worth the paper it’s written on.

 

[Guesty]

No indeed, but I also suspect we never did "media" for a player that never actually put pen to paper, as was claimed.

A loan to us would have been his and Villa's minimum option

It wouldn't have made sense for either

No surprise that one of the money championship clubs has gone in for a permanent

A bit surprising how Villa have again managed to convince the buying club they're entitled to all their money back on the player - great effort there

It seems Villa and Newcastle are always having to balance the books. Villa just bought Manzambi for 49m.

They just didn’t quite get to stockpile the expensive playing squad like City prior to the whole FFP regs, did they?

Newcastle have lost Isak, Gordon and Tonali in the last 12 months. It seems like a reboot for them with three young recruits coming in and strong links that Guimares fancies a new challenge.
