Agreed. He will see this as a cup loss which doesnt mean alot. When he starts losing consecutive championship games, thats when the pressure will get to him.

Morcambe want it more than us. Not saying its acceptable to lose but id rather lose tonight then on Saturday. Might give them a kick up the arse.

Isnt the value of a player set by Southampton? Its up to them what they accept?

I think thats why its being done as a seperate deal. Sneaky? Yes, against the rules, I dont think so .

Well it wouldnt be 6 as we would have to pay Newcastle 40% of it so they get 2.4 millon leaves us with an extra 3.6 million. Mowbray probably thinks he wont get to see the cash reinvested in cash buys, hence why he wants a player as part of the deal.

Because we wanted Obafemi? Nicko has said that if he doesnt come they pay us more cash making it up to the 20 million ( yes i know he talks shit but hes been bang on the money with Armstrong deal)

We are getting Obafemi as part of the deal. It has to be seperate for reasons stated above, im not repeating everything. Southampton have basically made an offer of 20 - 21 million for Armstrong. Thats what we wanted. To get 15 million plus a player who is young and has room to grow i feel is a very good deal for someone who has 12 months left on their contract.

Mercer the oracle, rejoice 🎉

To be fair Nicko is pretty shit at transfer info but hes sticking his neck out on the line with this. As above recons we will get obafemi in a seperate cut price deal to stop Newcastle getting any profit. Did say if the player wants to come though.

Alrite Mercer, chill out. You been knocking back the red already?

Ive seen a few figures banded about.on twitter by journalists. 15 mil max + add ons.

Sounds to me like 15mil plus add ons.

I agree but to get them in the squad to add more depth on a rotational basis makes sense. Not everyone will stay injury free. 25+ games in a competitve leauge is a win win for both parties.

Some good quality youngsters there.

Who would you take on loan then? Leighton Clarkson Tommy Doyle Morgan Rogers Liam Delap James Garner Harvey Elliot again (dreaming)

Putting the brakes on the journey, thats a new one. Where Carl Pilkington and bullshit man when you need him?

Makea no sense. Why would you let their contracts run down and let them go for free? Given we will get compensation for Nayambe when he leaves but rothwell and all the others we will get nothing...make it make sense?

Which means they have had an initial offer knocked back but remain in advanced talks with us to get the deal done. Will be add ons etc to sort, we will want most of the cash upfront.

Thats what it says on Skysports, dont shoot the messenger

Its literally on the yellow bar on Sky sports news....

Looks like Armas off to Crystal Palace. In advanced talks with us a present - source Sky Sports.

Ayala having a nightmare against the mighty Bradford, Tony Mowbray master stroke 🤣
