Liverpool continue to bank roll Newcastle having just paid then £25M for Wijnaldum. If he is worth that I am sure we can get £5 for Richards.

RDM dragging his feet over a new striker. 2 weeks to go smacks of poor preparation. Are the promised funds really there??

As of last week we'd spent more gross than anybody else in the league. That may not have changed either.

Net. Newcastle are comfortably on more than us gross.

Durh. In my defence I've been up since 5, having been up at 4 and 2 with my wee one.

It's a good thing. The more of their better Premier League players they sell the better.

Hopefully it is a fire sale to balance the books rather than a strategic move to reinvest the money.  That you-tube fat gordie guy hated Wijnaldum, calling him the classic highlights player, or words to that effect, so they may have wanted shot of him anyway.

£5 for Richards seems a bit steep

But this is a world where James Tomkins costs you £10m.

Are there any car boot sales near to Bodymoor Heath that RDM could attend. Its the way most people get rid of there unwanted rubbish. £5 sounds about right.

Jeez, come on guys stop talking nonsense.

Anyone who knows anything about the psychology of the retail price point would know we should go with £4.99 to dupe anyone to part with their hard earned readies.

Maybe not, but he might get an England call up

The window closes at the end of August, so do not expect all our transfer activity to be done before the season starts.

I think that is a pretty pertinent point.  We'll have played six games by then (5 league + 1 cup) so the management team will have been able to have a decent look at the squad.  I maybe wrong, but aren't the football league loan rules different to the Premier League ones and the loan window remains open for a while after 'Jim White day'.
