[SIGNED perm] Ismaila Sarr - club record fee

That report was 2 weeks ago though?

Reality is we will likely always have to guess at the exact figure - much like the Richarlison fee and Andre Gray fee - we know the ballpark it will be in but neither club will sat. Suits Gino to let the fans think we didn’t megabucks and suits Rennes to let their fans think they got what they asked for. Very few fee’s are announced these days unless a well-known release clause has been activated.

 

French and Italian sources coming up with some quite worrying updates. Looks like we have another competitor...

SARR WILL MAKE PLAN CHANGE?

The transfer quick to Isma*lla Sarr will leave Rennes yes, but the rabbit can sometimes stay in the magic hat and so here is coming with great surprise the cherry boys of Bourningmouth. Under dogging heroic minnows of premium
league England commanded by Mr Edward Hoo make late bid of 188 million rubles paid to offshore tax-haven of Rennes choice.

 

Looks like Pereya is off to the seaside with Brighton. Or is it a massive windup?

 

Damn those muffers.

 

Can’t see Gino spending much on a player who’ll bugger off every Jan & Feb to play in the Acorn.

 

Expenses fiddle.

 

We did make a quick decision. That decision was Rennes are not going to rip us off.

 

Yep. Can't be ripped off if you don't buy anyone!

 

Undergoing his medical I guess.

 

Ford and Arthur had theirs this afternoon.
Arthur has put on .6 of a kilo.
Think I'll give him another name:
Arthur Virgil Agamemnon Coleridge Troy should do it!

 

I expect Levanthal to tweet any second confirming his insider status with this publicly stated 2-for-1 news from Sky Sports transfer centre.

 

So we refused £32m so they bumped it up by £4.7m. Everton are just taking the p1ss.

I actually would like Gino to accept this. Get Everton around the table at 4:30pm on Thursday, then announce "Sorry, but I read this as £67.3m. Oooops, my bad. No deal c***ers".

 

I think Leventhal predicted this in his inside scoop article on ‘The Athlete’.

‘Sign up for your free trial now!’

 

Can’t see us selling to anybody this late in the transfer window , certainly can’t see us selling to another mid table competitor (big team my arse)

If a big team like Liverpool or Man City came in with a stupid offer (£60m+) might be a different story as am sure Doucs would want to go, but transfer to Everton - nah. In terms of his value I heard on talksport that Bournemouth had put a price tag of £75m on Ake , so god only knows what Doucs could go for

Edit: sorry realised I had just merged the Doucoure and Sarr thread

 

Very. I've been walking round Rome all day and haven't seen Gino, Sarr or anyone from Rennes.

Asked a waiter in a cafe if he had and he just shook his head and wouldn't look me in the eye.

Ain't going to happen.

 

....but did you go in the Vatican? This is where Gino finalises all his deals. He disguises himself as the Pope, just to blend in and not get recognised by SSN reporters and desperate Watford fans.

 

Makes sense. There’s plenty on here who’d love to kiss his ring.

 

To be fair, I heard the talks were moved last minute to Sarrdinia.

 

Straight red card !

 

I blame the owners. You have the cat social services round if this continues.

 

It doesn't show.
I think he's eating the fox food when he's on patrol at night.
He's currently inspecting the new tiles in the bathroom.
If I see him eating those I will be worried!

 

Do you not bring him in at night? When cats do most of their murdering ? We bring ours in at dusk and while she’s tucking into late supper, I slip out and put the Fox food out. Wildlife motion camera confirms the fox eats it rather than other cats !

 

Arthur is nocturnal but only catches the occasional vole.
We have a camera but must get some film!

 

What has this to do with us signing Sarr or not? I wish posters would take this kind of drivel off-line.

 

Our pursuit of Sarr and the money being quoted is very odd for our owners.

Not your typical pozzo transfer.

Despite never heating of him I'm guessing he's going to be some kind of outstandingness?!!!

 

I presume the camera won't work if it is offline? Strange thing to suggest when trying to capture footage of an actual fox in the box. Proper scouting network.

 

Feeling the tension Lloyd ?
Just killing time before we get the confirmation through that he’s joined someone else or signed a new better contract at Rennes.

 

And so it spills over into another day...

 

Ha ha! Possibly. Nothing personal. But I understand that there’s a Private Message facility that would allow you and others to carry on your chats about foxes, biscuits, your favourite episode of The Two Ronnies etc etc, without subjecting the rest of us to it

 

Yes. Wonder what stage negotiations are at and who’s now involved.

 

Yes but you would never know what you were missing ! We’re up to 30 pages on this thread on my phone now and the number of genuinely insightful posts would probably fit on 2.

 

And the other 28 are just Adam leventhal tweets saying the same thing.

 

Now in Grappa phase, who can handle the shots will decide future contractual add ons.

 

Interesting Sarr has posted on his Facebook account an hour ago ‘always ready for new challenges’.

 

Yep..... always ready for new challenges

Signing for Brentford.
