Thanks but what's confusing me is that recently we have been loaned funds by an American company but I understood it to be just a loan and nothing to do with a purchase.

It's like when you see those stories on the news about Debenhams PLC or whoever has been bought for £1. I always think "well, I've got a pound, too. Why can't I have it?".

Fabrice29 Posted 25 July, 2020 Posted 25 July, 2020 With the news that China banned PL football in their country being broadcasted there was talk of clubs with Chinese owners being affected. Assume this got covered elsewhere on here though. Imagine it's just a contract renewal. Nothing big or major with ownership breaks that quickly.

No one really knows for sure that KWP will definitely be our player or if Bertrand would sign a new contact. I'm excited because if that all happens it totally sorts out our defence and gives us a good base for pushing up the table next season. Edited 26 July, 2020 by The Cat

Id be interested to know if you are actually ITK as this particular signing cant really be guessed and isnt in the media. DM me if you want. Out of interest, is the undisclosed CB a rough diamond, Danso type or is Salisu that and he (undisclosed) will be a vestergaard, first team, type? on a side note, saw today that the sun are linking Tottenham are in for Callum Wilson, for £10m. At that price, if true (apparently they’re keen to get his wages off the books should they go down), we should be all over it.
Baird of the land Posted 26 July, 2020 Posted 26 July, 2020 I really hope if there's a second centre back incoming it's a loan/free/small fee. I was really hoping ther'd be someone like Jones who'd be able to step up and take that spot without us having to go out and spend our meagre resources on a 4th choice centre who'll most likely be league cup fodder in the short term at least.

Wilson, King, Ake, Brooks, Cook, Lerma, Billings will all be in demand or looking to leave plus Harry Wilson will be leaving Liverpool-On-Sea (Boscombe) to head back to the mother city.
TWar Posted 26 July, 2020 Posted 26 July, 2020 @LeG and @Earthworm Jim is this the player you guys were expecting, says he's an lb not a cb?
S-Clarke Posted 26 July, 2020 Posted 26 July, 2020 Doesn't sound like that guy is one for now, long-term youth team addition by the sounds of it.

TWar Posted 26 July, 2020 Posted 26 July, 2020 Guess the big transfer announcement will be put on ice for a bit... Unless we are going to get a half time announcement, doubt it though.
S-Clarke Posted 26 July, 2020 Posted 26 July, 2020 Why is everyone mentioning a pre-match signing? When is that ever done really? I can only remember it once, Rudi Skacel - cringy pre-match physically signing on the pitch as well. I imagine the Salisu one will be announced early next week tbh.
Saint_clark Posted 26 July, 2020 Posted 26 July, 2020 4 hours ago, SuperSAINT said: Yeah. I like signings like this though. Remember one of those fan forum things where they talked about always wanting to siphon a few hundred thousand to the youth recruitment whenever possible and used Targett as an example, surplus to requirements and not good enough for us but brought in a big chunk of money for very little outlay.
