£750k! You have got to be fucking kidding me. I know the transfer market is depressed and we need to sell players but fuck me that's ridiculous.
3 days into the transfer window and we're biting Mandaric's hand off for whatever crap he happens to throw our way. Surely there must be other clubs interested at that price? If there are, why the fuck aren't we refusing this kind of offer? £750k for our club captain, for an international class midfielder, who has scored and impressed in world cups, who has played more than effectively and premiership and european level, it's a fucking joke offer and we should have told Pompey where to stuff it, shit finances or no shit finances. Do you hear the likes of West Ham saying their players are worthless and their finances are down the crapper? No you don't, because they'd be fucking stupid to do so.
Sheepshanks OUT NOW! Fucking Etonian muppet, couldn't run a tea shop never mind a football club.
edited to add: 1)I just realised that this is £50,000 less than we paid Bournemouth for him when he'd only been playing Division Two football for a few years and when they themselves had to sell for financial reasons.
2)He might, conceivably, not go. He's on good wages at Ipswich and even if Pompey match those he's got to factor in moving away from the area and the possibility that he might get another offer (from a London club say, which has better chance of staying in the Premier League). So, I'm crossing fingers because I Matty Holland is pretty much one of the best, most loyal, most consistently wonderful captain we've ever had or probably will have. And I love him
is henry moving?
