Downsouth 6,176 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 No guys sorry have nothing concrete but assuming that latest news reports etc are valid then it stands to reason that we surely have to have cover for those players who seemingly are going within the next 24 or so hours. Actually I am still sticking with my earlier claims that I felt our business was done but indications are not supporting that stance anymore. Also I have only ever reported stuff I know 100% and am loathed to be tarred and feathered with a wind-up tag Link to post Share on other sites

Arskite 75 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Robbie Brady was said to have completed a medical and agreed terms last night with Burnley. Some journalists announced it as a done deal but nothing officially announced. I was hoping we'd be able to hijack it tbh. Not that fussed about Brady personally, but I'd love to hijack it just to see the reaction from Dyche and the Burnley fans. :D Link to post Share on other sites

"Nothing has changed. Whether that changes in the next 24 hours, I’m not so sure." It should be headlined: Steve Bruce Doesn't Actually Say One Way or Another Whether Villa will Bid for Rhodes.

Am I missing something?? :huh: Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Not only us they refused to sell to then @reluctantnicko Past tense now ... but Sunderland tried to buy Andy Robertson from Hull ... who would not sell to a relegation rival. Link to post Share on other sites

Oslo_Syd 320 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Out of interest. Has PSG, le'equipe confirmed Jesé? No, L'Équipe has not confirmed that yet. It's still running the story that it posted on Saturday: "Agreement between PSG and Middlesbrough, but..." Link to post Share on other sites
Pork Slops 576 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Out of interest. Has PSG, le'equipe confirmed Jesé? The sky sports reporter at Rockcliffe pretty much did about an hour ago stating him as one of the 3 players that we have now missed out on with him opting to return to Spain this month.

sambaDTR 260 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 It's ironic that this time last year we were desperate for Rhodes with the Venkys moving the goalposts every five minutes. At least we are not doing the same. Villa know what we want and it is up to the billionaire Dr Xia to dip into his pocket with the £10M. Like all business negotiations it is normally the buyer who tends to pay more because psychologically you want the thing you are purchasing whereas the seller is not too bothered if they sell or not.
