If my next door neighbour has bought the house I rent from my landlord and intends to double my rent before evicting me before moving in his family I will be bloody furious.
He says he has no intention of buying the house and doesn't know what I am talking about.
I'm so sick of this add-on nonsense. We're not in a catastrophic financial situation so we don't have to be dictated to by anyone else and we've got Gomez down to a decent length contract. With that in mind it makes absolutely no sense to allow some of the payment you receive for your prize asset to be conditional. Getting £3m and then (let's just say) £1m if Liverpool qualify for the Champions League and £1m if Gomez gets an England cap and £1mif Gomez plays 10 games in two years is just inviting missing out on a fee. At best we won't see the Champions League qualification money for another season, and it's far from guaranteed Liverpool will even get there. Roland should tell Liverpool to do one if they don't meet our valuation and it should be high. If bloody Palace can get £10 million for Zaha and decent money for John Bostock and Victor Moses we should be able to hold out for enough to rebuild the squad
Gomez has signed on for three years from October 2014 .. if he develops at the same rate that he has so far, he could be a 15/20/25/30 million pound player in 2017 and he'd still be only 21/22 years old .. unless there is a desperate need for some quick cash, it would be a nonsense to sell him now .. he's worth more to us now than 3/5/7 million .. I say again, unless there is a desperate need for the owner to raise some cash
I think 15/20/25/30m is getting ahead of ourselves in what would be two years from now. I'm with you on getting more than 3m that's peanuts IMO
You're right about no desperate need for cash (not that I can think of anyway). I just think RD isn't going to spend big and what spending we do will be done off the back of a player sales. I think this is the appeal for RD now. I reckon he thinks 3m for new players plus what we've got will be enough to give us a chance of promotion?
I can't see that myself as for me we are short a CB, a creative CM, LW and a CF. And that's if Gomez is loaned back
If we get 3 million, Murray must resign his place as a director instantly . He promised 2 things: that he would be a go between beyween the fans and the board and that the new regime would get full value for young players. He will have failed on both counts
Not sure why we would offer Igor a new contract when his current one still has four years on it either
Quite right; crass rumour. I don't really know why everyone is getting this uptight about the lack of activity. I can't remember any season that we have done business very early . Nothing will be predictable with Roland, so we may as well relax until August

We'll see.

I reckon it's a Millwall fan running this account.
18:54 ADDICKS CLOSE ON BAUER
Charlton Athletic are on the verge of signing German centre-back Patrick Bauer from CS Maritimo, according to Portuguese news outlet Record.
Bauer, a former Germany under-20 international, is a former VfB Stuttgart youngster and is highly rated in Portuguese football.
His displays for Maritimo have attracted plenty of interest, with Aston Villa reportedly also eyeing up the player earlier in the summer
Seriously, looks a decent signing. Right age, passes the height test, experience in the Portuguese top division, would have ambition, resale value.
Jesus, it's only bloody June and we finished 12th last season.
