Give me £150k salary and I do it. No problem 

You wouldn't be DoF for the club you love for say, £100k? Are you earning more than that right now?

I'd do it for 20k. Would you undercut me? 😉

If you offered to pay 20k to do it he'd offer 30.

I’d do it for free but I’m not sure I’d be value for money 😁

They’re Billionaires. £20m is a drop in the ocean. 

Not in the top league though. A recent estimate I saw put their wealth at £1.6 billion---and there's 3 of them.

Why spend it on a football club faraway?

However that leads to"why not sell then?" And there's no answer for that.

Just watch a couple of his goals on YouTube.

Sounds like it's @wilsdenrover's actually. He said he'll do it for free and as an added bonus, he won't be value for money. Just the credentials to have Venkys salivating.

Been a thinking about this, and wonder if we may go 5-3-2?

Eg:

———————-Pears

———-Hyam—Carter—Wharton

Brittain————Tronstad—————Gent

—————-Travis——-Buckley

-——————Sigurdsson

———————Gallagher

Need some additions but it seems to fit our current squad reasonably well in terms of who is available and where. Add a mobile striker, new keeper, and it’s a start. 

That team is frightening, even with a new keeper and striker.

Playing 5 defenders and 3 midfielders none of whom offer a goal threat with Sigurdsson playing off a striker would not get us anywhere near enough goals.

so you don't think Eustace wants to more us on and improve the club position and get promote in a couple of seasons? 

Im sure he would prefer that but I dont get the feeling that he would kick up a fuss if he wasnt backed. And its clear that the people who matter in India dont see progressing the club as a priority, the sole focus spending as little as is possible.

As for Nixon, a hack who covers all bases to ensure he can pat himself on the back once one of the numerous clubs he links players too comes to fruition at some point. If you choose to hang on his every word and assume he is always right, thats your choice and you arent the only one as numerous mugs even pay him money for his drivel.

This summer a player who is currently at one club will be transferred to another club for a sum of money.

There, I've just out Nixoned Nixon.

Now sign up to my patreon for the low low price of £50 a month.

He didn't say we'd achieve that though.

Will be more like 35 points.

We need 2 strikers... if this can be the cheap backup, then i'm all for it. Big lad, apparently a good finisher, only 24.

However, I fully expect these muppets to only sign 1 striker, in which case we need to be shopping a couple of levels above this.

Just seen that Rangers are looking at bringing in a new Keeper. Would Eustace have worked with Butland at Birmingham? He’s still under contract so it may be a non starter but could be a better option than Ruddy.

Me neither but can we trust the source? Click bait I fear.

Last year when we had a dof most transfers went under the radar.

This year may be different but I still don't trust the daily mail a source of genuine transfer knowledge

We wouldn't know what Eustace really thinks cos he would do it privately and not in the Public domain

I have never said he is always right tho Have I? What I actually said is his last 3 stories have been spot on and correct. The LT didn't get them and Rovers officially announced them days after Nixon has already posted his stories. 

Its simple that clubs will scouted players, make contacts with their agents to find what their terms might be or what the selling club might want. Nixon gets their stories. Why wouldn't many clubs not be interested Wharton or Szmodics given their impact last season and quality. I think clubs would be mad not to be. I think Wharton moving to Palace was a good move for him cos he has been playing and showing him quality. I think he had good to bigger club he might not as played aswell and I think Palace head coach Glasner has improve him as all round player. On Szmodics, why wouldn't a Lower end PL team or relegation PL club not be interested in the Championship top scorer.

I guess we see what he will do with Gallagher and Leonard(maybe a loan for him). I think Eustace will move on Telalovic this summer. I would look for someone around 24 or 25 like Connolly or Bair then someone with more experience like Matt Godden for experience for a year or 2.
