Ok then - so surely surely a signing today. Or Russ will need to explain what happened to his 'two thirds down the line' and '48 hours'. The after game interview will be interesting (especially explaining our exit after having to field an u21 team).
Ludicrous amount for Stephens though what is the game becoming
I think if I was a Burnley fan, I'd be expecting relegation again this year. They've spent around £10.7 million on Stephens, Pope and Gudmunsson. Not Premiership quality IMHO.
These days, unless you work for Roland, after a few good seasons second tier in England you go for fees like Stephens.
Sums up Roland's big idea though - crazy money flying around everywhere, yet RD is still only selling players for a relative pittance or having to subsidise other clubs to take players off his hands
I agree. Far too cheap for a proven quality player. Without him they were nearly relegated, last season with him they were nearly promoted.
Along with the other signings they made... Hemed, Skalak, Knockaert, Goldson, Bong, Murphy, Sidwell, Rosenior, Manu, Hunemeier and Wilson. Stephens is good but they bought well last summer.

Buying well..........I barely remember that philosophy.

£7m for Stephens is surely good for us tho ain't it? I heard Katrien managed to pull a 1% sell on fee so we got £70k coming our way. Should pay for at least 3 players , based on what we've Been aiming for rumours wise.
Yes Stephens in premier league another we can say we watched at charlton. It makes me so happy looking at all the players we sold doing so well.im so excited I can't wait to turn on sky sports tonight to see how many penalties we lost by to Cheltenham l love our Belgium owner. Never been so happy supporting charlton can't wait to see lookman in the premier league.
This got a smirk from me, then... if you actually take out the sarcasm, it's pretty much exactly what Meire spelled out at that conference a while back. I just don't understand how she could think that's what we want?!

Stack em high. Sell em low.
Can it actually be called selling if you're having to pay people to take them off your hands? ;-)

Another one that we've missed out on!
Absolutely ridiculous.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
