The_77 Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 20 minutes ago, ClaphamFox said: Yes. In my professional capacity I write and edit articles in the names of senior figures at my firm. The compliance department is constantly asking me to add phrases like 'In my opinion', 'I believe' and 'In my view', etc to articles that are very obviously just offering an opinion. It's tedious and unnecessary and makes the articles sound much more cautious and timid than they need to be. It does my head in. However, it would be nice if people who write sentences like 'Maddison's injury is clearly fake' at least attempted to explain their view. Bold statements are more persuasive when backed up with arguments. In my opinion. I think some people would be better off just remembering they’re only reading largely anonymous posts from fans and using a tiny bit of common sense. #BemVindoTete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, we know very little. I wish I had a feeling with my nugget every time something was happening, at least I'd feel relieved afterwards.

I understand it's a pain, but a real blight on all our lives right now is how blurred those lines can get when people irresponsibly or lazily fail to qualify what they say/write.

LVFox Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 A real test of Rudkin, not the easiest deal to do but achievable. If he can't pull it off then Brendan has every right to moan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrummieFOX Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 "We had people working very hard behind the scenes to make a number of things happen but regrettably we were unable to finalise in time. I am now committed to working with the current shower of players. Also James Maddison has suffered a minor set back and we hope he'll be back with the group within a few weeks."

Steve Earle Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 11 minutes ago, Sambiasso said: Is it just me or has the word ‘complex’ gained a new meaning? So it’s not the usual transfer between two clubs involving a player and his agent. There’s, hang on a minute, a third club! How on earth…? In other words the kind of deal that Man U, Besiktas & Burnley knocked together for Weghorst in a few days. We’ve had months to work on this, not just since 1 January. And even if he’s third/fourth choice RW, we’ve had and have plenty of time. I suspect the recruitment team and DoF are capable of handling this alleged complexity. Whether they will or not probably has more to do with what the player wants than competence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertfox2 Posted 24 January 2023 Share Posted 24 January 2023 (edited) So if Lyon have the option to do a permanent deal in the summer at 17.5 but the player wants to join us as do Shaktar. 17.5m to Shaktar and 7.5m to Lyon. What do we care who gets it as long as we get him in for 25m? Edited 24 January 2023 by desertfox2 autocorrect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be flabbergasted if it did. I doubt there's much to do when negotiating with Shakhtar. They just want to be paid and i'd imagine that just means matching Lyon's option to buy. We just need to agree a compensation figure with Lyon. I suspect they'll think that he's worth more than the £17.5m option to buy they have so it'll have to be the difference between what Lyon value him at and the £17.5m. I'd suspect something like £6-8m for Lyon and £17.5m to Shakhtar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
