Future Captain Harrison Armstrong

[Escalator]

Not just his pre-season form. Look how good he has been in the three games so far this season - when it actually counts. Absolutely does not need a loan.

Absolutely agree, not questioning it or suggesting we sell or loan him out, was just curious as as recently as August 25th there are a number of suggestions that we loan him out, some saying to a Championship club even, was asking a serious question which has been honestly answered by some and totally misinterpreted by others.

[Cozzie]

40M though?

Why are they just rolling over and accepting the first offer?

[TheRam]

There was late interest in Harrison Armstrong from Nottingham Forest who were willing to pay up to £40m for the highly rated youngster.

Everton, however, made it clear that they would not entertain any bids that late into the window and plan to offer Armstrong a new five year deal to detract any interested parties.

This is what we should be reading when Paddy Boyland does his usually transfer window recap article.

Instead, we’ll be reading about a club jumping at the chance to make a profit on our best young player at the first opportunity and a manager fuming about the whole thing.

[TheRam]

£35m bid accepted.

Never forget what they tried to do.

[Audrey Horne]

Absolute cunts.

I want a statement apologising for this utter disgraceful decision. I want Armstrong offered a new deal, i want them to scrap the membership and lower the cost of tickets. I want free tickets for a few games to get over the trauma of the last 24 hours.

I want them to understand why this has been so shit and for them to learn about the club and the fans so they dont make this mistake again.

cunts.

[Goaljira]

Empty victory. Shouldn't have even been a thing.

Kinnear still needs to go for this.

[777Kidnappings]

£35m bid accepted.

Never forget what they tried to do.

What an absolute bunch of inept cowards. Ridiculous decision to sell him. Ridiculous decision not to purely cos of the fans. They've no fucking clue what they are doing. No joined up thinking no plan. Just hoping to get away with it. They wont even back their own judgment. They dont even have any judgement. This is a mess. The right back situation shows in ineptitude at peak moshiri levels

[Dchans]

Don’t give a fuck as long as he stays for the season

Rather we didn’t bring anyone else in then sell for that amount. 55-60m?? Yeah, probably would sanction that as every player has a price irrespective of who they are and what team they play for.

But 35m is too low, and we have others we can bin off if we need to balance the books.

Just wish the authorities would sort out the finances in football generally - doesn’t sit right that some team with mega wealthy owners (us, Newcastle, Villa etc) can’t spend what they like and have to continually sell their best players when City, Spurs, Chelsea can spunk hundreds of millions of pounds year after year. Especially given 2 of them have consistently broken so called financial fair plays rules

Whole thing needs a compete rewrite. Set fees independently?? Restrict overall spending regardless of income? Wage caps?? Dunno what the answer is, but what we have now surely isn’t it.

Rant over. On to the next game now please.

[777Kidnappings]

They've all got to go now. We might as well just do polls on here to run the club

[Shogun]

£35m is a disgrace. Fucking idiots.

Worst thing about these rules is the incentive it gives clubs to sell homegrown talent.

It will have long term ramifications on the game in this country and the national team if it isn’t sorted out quickly.

[777Kidnappings]

£35m is a disgrace. Fucking idiots.

To bring tete in haven't spent 150m on players who weren't right backs since trying to sign tete on a free

[Shogun]

[777Kidnappings]

To be fair to kinnear he said in that interview hed prefer people to call him inept than unambitious. Hes managed it

[Brownie]

Hopefully this is true and it brings out the siege mentality that Moyes used so well in the past. Let’s be at our most horrible in the stands and on the pitch and show these yank bastards just who we are
