If we're getting crazy fees for some of the unwanted/wantaway players then I'd prefer to keep Ibou and go again for the title next season with the view of him leaving on a free as opposed to binning him off now, signing some dud that turns out no better than Quansah.

Who knows, they may be a point during the season say around Christmas time, where we come to our senses....Ibou is playing out of his skin and forces our hand.

Real Madrid in the background. He will choose them over us every time. £200k isnt a huge amount, I doubt the impasse lies there, its something else. Agent fee? Those leeches always want a generous part of the pie

The inference is clearly that the deal is almost done.

I’d hope that our summer transfer dealing shows that we’re serious about building on this seasons success and he’d want to be a part of it.

Lads, that's the Transfer room. There's no inference. They can't even spell the word. It's a shite source 🤣

Really?

Really?

Well, given the source maybe not.

I tend to think of footballers as simple creatures who just want to be appreciated, well paid and the opportunity to win things and if you can satisfy those needs, then they’ll smile and sign contracts.

What Konate has said about the clubs and his contract, on the surface, seems positive.
