Pretty sure we will be very smart regards this, £12 million fee means a low buy back fee, say £20 million  in a 2 to 3 year period, so in essence we're paying Burnley to develop one of our youngsters for around £8 million, if he doesnt shine then we have made £12 million from one of our youngsters, not every youngsters is going to make into our 1st team & if they don't we make money out of it. think it makes sense as at the moment our midfield is stacked

What happened regarding the transfer which the psk guy on FtLoPM said was happening? Has anyone called him on that?

Well no messages last night on his podcast & they did 1 before the game & 1 after so who knows maybe something that's still happening but taking longer than they thought, seems legit as Neil said he is very, very right, very, very often so  

Just about to say the same, seen it had bumped & was on HOT   but no real links unless I've missed something do like the idea of this player tho

Need some news today if that PSK guy is correct...

Indeed

Think it's more we've cooled our interest & moved onto another target, so Man city believe they can now move for Doku

Or we’re done.

Maybe but hoping the rumour from yesterday gives us hope that there maybe 1 incoming  in the next few days

so Pubill not happening neither is Torres according to reports, so leaves Doku & Felix or someone totally out the blue who we haven't been linked with.

Wouldn't have thought Barca would risk him/play him if a move was that imminent.

True & the fact that Emery has said Archer & Duran are staying around the sqaud next season, so if you bring in another forward player we'd be stacked along the forward line, although Wesley has been moved on, could well be the fullback we've been linked with. May well be someone out the blue that we've had no links to, time will tell.

Who is PSK?

Yes like lexicon said, someone by the name of PSK keeps sending messages into the podcast & seems to be on the money most of the time

Scored for Barcelona Saturday in a 3-0 win over Real Madrid.........   could he be the rumoured player incoming according to PSK on For the love of Paul Mcgrath Podcast

It could well be this… if a deal is close to being agreed. They want 30m straight up, we’ve offered 20m + 10m in add ons…. 25m done deal?

 

Could well be, be a great bit of business much like the rest of our business this summer.

Interesting but how would he know the media will start reporting it?

No idea ... but Neil seems to think he is in the know somehow as snippets he gets off him come to fruition.

any clues and his he reliable

Neil on for the love of Paul Mcgrath says he is think the PSK who sent the message on the show normally private messages him & Neil says he has got most things right so seems reliable. I remember few months ago on same show someone had said to Neil through a message that we had a deal in place for a striker it may have been the same guy, clearly we haven't signed a striker but reading between the lines it could of been the Tammy Abraham link, talk was a deal was in place for him, then he went & got his injury last game of season. Time will tell. The only recent links are the fullback & Doku could be a new link though.

Interesting that bit of a transfer rumour I got from the love of Paul Magrath, same guy has just posted on the post match show that media will start reporting on the incoming player in next 72 hrs ....   should be interesting  

Had a great game, always a threat going forward, just mirrored what we do on the left handside with Moreno

I think it's a real stretch to look for a pattern with Diaby, they've probably had 90 minutes or less on a pitch together. I think Watkins has just been Watkins, scores some chances, misses some chances, work rate is still ridiculously high and add in the fact that he's playing In a friendly tournament in ridiculous heat. 

He'll get double figures again this season, I'm confident of that. He'll have some good spells and some dry spells.

Your probably right, I just think he thrives when he knows he is the main man, think he struggled when Ings was here, sometimes he played, sometimes together & other times he'd be on the bench. When Ings left you seen the change in him, he was brilliant, just think abit of competition gets in his head abit. Like I said it's probably & hopefully nothing because Watkins & Diaby should be a right handful next season 

Just hoping we don't get Ollie going in his shell again like when he had competition from another player like he did with Danny Ings since Diaby has come into the side seems to have dropped off ...... maybe nothing but

The fullback we've been linked with maybe or could it be Doku ??

Can’t find it mate… listened back around the 6 minute mark..?

My bad

Well just watched team sheet tantrum with the love of Paul Mcgrath Podcast & a viewer called PSK sent in a message saying there will be news on an incoming in the next few days Neil commented saying excellent & commented on saying he has been very very right very very often & thanked him for the heads up it's early in the podcast bout 6 minutes in.

Don't think he had a bad game under Steven either, he just refused to start him. Don't think he rates clever midfielders!

Agreed & was scandalous he didn't play him seems like he has carried on where he left off with us in Saudi, think he has lost 6 on the bounce

Don't think I seen Dougie have a bad game last season under Emery & if he can kick on from his 6 goals & 6 assists from last season & playing for Brazil then I'd say we'd have another world class midfielder in our ranks 

He is on a new contract (not sure if a buy out clause) Emery rates him highly, Dougie loves it here, he is back in the Brazil sqaud, we don't need to sell & above all else he finally has his own song .... be wearing the claret & blue of Aston Villa for the foreseeable future, lets just enjoy him because he is turning out to be one he'll of a midfielder & I think he can go up a level still love you Dougie
