I think it was Claret & High had a rumour that he was being a bad lad and then someone else said it was her. Who knows?
The only thing everyone seems to agree on is that she's taken the kids back to France and he's been going back there on his days off. And then turning up late for training or going AWOL.
There is part of me that wonders if we are being played like a well tuned violin. It is possible Dimi asked for a move and the Daves felt that the money available would be welcome but said to him that they would be slaughtered if they sold him so agreed that he had to be a villain to get the move. Dimi gets his move, Club gets the cash and us fans rally behind the club, everyone's a winner.
I am not saying this is what has happened or even the most likely scenario but I am just mindful of the fact that all fans are saying sell now, which would have been unthinkable before Slavs press conference last week.
Although, even if this is 'the strategy', (not that I think it is), it's theirs not ours. Our only option is to keep saying non until we like the price.
They should feel free to come in at £35m straight off, thus allowing a fortnight for negotiation over add-ons and sell-on fees. (But not appearance fees, as he could easily pull the same trick again.)
Mrs G - if we don't sell Mr Sulky in the next 15 days then we'll be stuck with him on our books until the summer. I can see Marseille sticking around the £20m mark, maybe a couple of mill more then letting the Daves sweat in the hope they'll cave in at the last moment the way they did with Parker.

I've seen this type of scenario mentioned elsewhere.
if he comes back from the Euro's and asks for a move, what with the new stadium and everything they'd of been under massive pressure from the club.
But that would be the mother of elaborate stings by the owners, surely they wouldn't even try that, would they

Not sure there are enough days left if we're gonna go with this transfer negotiation bidding strategy.

Funny how this 1m loyalty payment quickly came to the front.
I'll stand by the family reasons as the main factor, just a rubbish way to handle it.
I wonder, can we wear that in the FA Cup next year?
You know like the 3rd strip this year
;whistle
