[Midlands Yellow 3,980]

Catch you all tomorrow. Off to Willie Thorne’s snooker club now and made a break of 8 last month.

Yes, but the depth that article goes in to implies that they have been told it is something we are working on and have a decent level of confidence in.

Pal, all I said was that it was understood we’d not actually made a bid yet, nothing more, nothing less.

[Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557]

 

It seems everything on the Greek side is "Norwich have bid, are bidding, will keep bidding' - while on the Norwich side it is 'nothing imminent'.

This makes total sense based on what PAOK/Tzolis want everyone to hear and what Norwich want everyone to hear.

I do suspect that Norwich aren't telling the PinkUn everything at this stage in order to not build up hype in case it doesn't happen, as well as not drawing others into a bidding war of course.

Totally this. The pinkun boys do a good job, but this window them and other media oitlets are being kept in the dark until the late stages of a transfer.

And being used to quickly quash false rumours/those that Webber wants quashed, it seems...

[Cantiaci Canary 557]

Yep, they were totally in the dark about Rashica.

Not blaming them (I greatly appreciate and respect their work) but they play the mood music the club wants heard - and understandably so.

Grealish to Man City almost done according to the most reliable of sources…metro!

Villa have bid for Ward-Prowse. Does this mean they don’t want Todd or as well as (I know they’re very different players)

With the fee Villa will get for Grealish, they can afford Ward-Prowse & Cantwell, then have plenty of change left over for more business.

Be nice if we had some actual transfers to discuss!

We could always do the old 'LET'S PRETEND WEVE SCORED A GOAL!' thing and pretend we signed someone if it makes you feel better

I wouldn't go that far. The rumour is £70-80m. That's likely to be structured. W-P has got to be worth at least as much as Cantwell, he's far more established, an excellent set piece taker and has 260+ appearances to his name in the Premier League.

On top of that, Southampton have reportedly rejected a £25m bid from Villa for him, which I would too. He's one of their best midfielders and has been for a number of years. They are both going to cost in the region of £30-35m if not more. How much that'll leave Villa, who knows?

I've only seen £100 million quoted for Grealish, I agree the fee which Villa receives will be structured, but so will the potential fees Villa pay for Ward-Prowse  & Cantwell. Ward-Prowse is definitely worth more than the £25 million price which Villa have allegedly offered, but I still think Villa will have change from buying Ward-Prowse & Cantwell.

By 'Leeds trying' you mean a random journalist who has nothing to do with Leeds, Leeds transfers, Leeds manager or anything Leeds right?

Not exactly, it’s a “journalist” suggesting Leeds ought to try to get Skipp on loan.

I will remember to use the exact terminology next time, Purple, but if we’ve not made a bid then reports that we have would of course still be wide of the mark

You at it again Alex?

But when I say ‘end product’, then I mean exactly that - goals, and not assists.!!!🤣

Forget loaning him, break the bank and BUY HIM.

No, what I see is a Leeds fan writing a blog about why his team should sign Skipp on loan. The headline says it all:

Leeds have got to be on red alert as Tottenham make reported u-turn on midfielder

Given they have Kalvin Phillips who does what Skipp does an awful lot better, I suspect most Leeds fans would question why they need him. Just click bait.

…not a bad shout.  I watch the Bundesliga on BT and he’s pretty good.
