he actually sounds like he's named after some obscure illness

I'm fairly sure that I had a severe case of the Donkor-Oppongs just after Christmas.

Not convinced Amavi has put in a full shift since Dr T spoke about rejecting a big bid...particularly defensively he had started to look a bit better but has reverted to someone who is 100% not risking getting hurt

This. The last 3/4 games he's gone back to being dodgy as fuck. I'd like to think it's down to a temporary blip in form but it surely cannot be a coincidence that it's coincided with the alleged 'bid' for his services.

If he has had his head turned, then I strongly suggest we take the highest offer and move on.

I'm with you, Lord B: with the proviso that Bruce replaces him in this transfer window (along with a R/B too).

ps 'Anton-Leander Donkor-Oppong' to the tune of 'Big Fat Ron's claret & blue army'.   ;)

Richards is crocked, Baker made of glass, De Laet out for the season and Aly off to Greece, we MUST have a defender or two lined up?

We appear to be clearing the decks again with Aly, Gestede and Gollini all gone.  I wonder how much that saves us per week in salary?

Or just Bruce getting rid of players he doesn't want. Either way, I hope some replacements are lined up, as well as some sort of midfield.

About £80k-100k?
