Now that Terry's gone I think we might put in a Bid for Steve Bannon. Been there, done it, seen it all. Would prove an excellent example to the kids, having been at the top level.
Is he a good man?

He's extremely right-wing but also very professional.

But enough about Terry, what about Bannon?

Perhaps we could have the white strip fitted with a hood.

If  Bruce signs another footballing pensioner his job is going to get very much harder.

I'm the first to admit I don't fully understand our financial predicament

but I do know it's serious and I fail to see how we can put a bid in for anyone loans or otherwise when we are currently mortgaging the car parks to pay for the day to day bills

How utterly shit must Richardson be these days?  He could barely kick a ball straight when he was with us.

He'll be one of those that you hear his name mentioned in twenty years, having not even thought about him in the meantime. Not necessarily really bad, just utterly forgettable.

The 2010s version of Oyvind Leonhardsen.

I seem to remember Oyvind looking quite good when he played for us, I think he scored about 3 goals in 10 games from right midfield. He was just old and injury prone, a bit like Patrick Berger who's odd cameo appearances from the bench just made you feel really gutted that he'd been injured for the previous 6 months. Richardson was just shite and if I had to pick him or NRC to join our squad next season I'd pick NRC.

So far we've Grealish, Kodjia, Albert, BB, Chester and Jedi all linked with moves away.

That's the best part of £60m. The question is how many will actually leave.

I'm guessing all six, but for nowhere near 60m

Grealish 20m
Kodjia 8m
Albert 6m
Chester 8m
Jedi 2m

Just random guesses of course

What are you valuing BB at then?  That's £44m on the guys you listed, £4m seems to be the rumour, which would be £48, so it only needs you to be out by a fairly small amount for £60m to be a decent guess, if they all go I'd go along with £50-60m for the lot, even with the prices being a bit lower because people know we need the money.  Once we've made a couple of sales the pressure to sell eases up and the prices go up.

It would need to be out by 25%.  I can see Grealish going for £25m, but I think the other amounts are right at the top of the estimates.  Is anybody going to pay more than £8m for Kodjia after his injury problems?  £2m for Jedinak given his wages and age would be pushing it too.
