Pity we tried but failed to persuade him to stay. But all luck to him for the future.

That was wasn't Big Hearted Arthur, it was Jimmy Wheeler. We didn't bid for either of them.

Re: Declan Rice

Parker won player of the year and we got relegated, it would have been unrealistic to expect him to stay. Ba signed when we already looked doomed, probably wouldn't have signed without the release clause. Payet? Should we have kept him and let him stink out the place? We 've kept Arnie (for now) an...

Nightmare scenario: Sully sells Arnie, Hernandez and Perez, only bringing in a couple of Sully Specials. MP walks.

Re: Marko Arnautovic Signs

On a separate note this is the first time I have ever seen a player sub another team member In reality, no player subs another player, the 4th official would ignore him.

Aren't the vast majority of transfer fees these days on the "never never", i.e. in instalments, even among the "big" clubs?
