You dont think do you, that with all the signings and bidding £4m for a player....RD has actually sold to a new owner(s) and they gave LB the go-ahead get what he wants and keep Lyle? Nothing at this club would surprise me....big announcement on CAFC website later.....the whole package wrapped up together!!
Fuck me, a week ago we were looking at heading into the season with Lapslie and Morgan as our starting midfielders, now you can find no room for an international midfielder who's played in a championship winning side and played in the premier league last year.
Just chucking it out there, this is without doubt the best transfer window under Roland we have seen, bringing in lots of players and some of them from premiership clubs plus the the fact we have turned down a big money off for Taylor........... The takeover of the club seems to have gone deadly silent of late could something be about to change on that front and the real reason behind all the activity we have seen?????
A small amount of credit needs to go to Roland. Not many chairman would have rejected that bid for Taylor.
But in doing so shows how awful he is. We lose Aribo etc for peanuts and then he rejects a bid we should probably have accepted.
At a properly run club you’d accept 4.5m for a player out of contract next summer (assuming he won’t sign a new deal, but even so it’s a decent fee for a 29 year old unproven in the Championship) and let the manager spend that on strengthening the squad overall.

Wonder if Lee said to Roland, "If you sell Lyle, that's me gone" and Roland blinked first. Fuxking well done Lee. He has balls of Platinum. We are so lucky to have him in charge. I reckon Roland knows Lee can take it or leave it and so won't screw him over. Happy days ahead.
I think your find that Richard Murray has had a lot to do with all this .
Yeah, because he wasn’t involved.
I explained that this morning, Roland had already done his 2% with us selling Dyksteele.

The other recent signings, other than Cullen, are kids with talent but little experience or games played.
It's a cliché but a good blend of youth and experience works.

We are a defender short and if we could snap up a freebie after loaning out Morgan and Lapslie that would be great.
Phillips, Amos
Solly, X
Lockyer, Oshilaja
Pearce, Sarr
Purrington, Page
Cullen, Field
Pratley, Forster-Caskey
Kayal, Gallagher
Williams, Aneke
Taylor, Hemed
Leko, Bonne
Add in Wiredu, Lapslie, and maybe Morgan (although I think he will now be allowed out on loan). That’s not bad at all, pretty good in fact.
Why anyone would moan about our business when each one of the players coming in today are better than what we had before. It’s baffling.
Same as people moaning and abusing Taylor. Some people are very odd.
Better than any of us hoped for on Monday surely?!
