I thought the Echo has a 'what happens next' piece that said that he needs to be charged by Tuesday and it has to be sorted before the Man City game. I may have dreamt all that.

Do you know Firmino personally? You must do to believe something like that of a person. If not, you are part of the problem.

If Bobby hasn't done anything racist the FA need to be very careful if they decide to go down that route. Allagations will be submitted every week which they will have to investigate.

I really hope Holgate hasn't made this up almost as much as I really hope that kinda stuff isn't in Bobby.

If it is a case of Barca and Coutinho saying it is a case of now or never can we just not select never? Works for me.

Aye, that piece practically finishes with the question to Barca 'that work for you guys? if so, give us a hint'

I think it is a mental thing with Gini now when he plays away from home (little known fact: he hasn't scored away from home in all his career in England, keep it quiet tho, don't want to make a big deal of it) Rotation made simple: Gini for home games, Milner for aways. (except against Swansea, Gini will score verses Swansea)

Maybe a change of tact to call them out would work? Put out a statement saying 'we appreciate all that Phil has done on the pitch for us and would like to assist in his personal dream to play for Barca blah blah, given the current market a fee of £150 million is reasonable and he can leave in the summer with our well wishes, however, disruption is not something we will tolerate and this offer to complete a deal expires an hour before kick off on Friday so that Phil can be named in the team and score the 8th in a resounding victory against some team down the road, Lots of love, Jurgen and the lads x x'

They don't have to go into details, just say the deal is completed. I don't think that 'they have loads because they have sold player x' really impacts fees now anyway. Everyone knows premier league clubs are minted, especially the top 5/6 clubs. That will all be Twitter rumours, I doubt he'll play against Everton but if he is missing against City then 2+2 probably does equal 4. Bit too early to say he is acting the dick now tho I reckon.

Aye, me too. I have no problem if they announce today that a deal is agreed for him to go in the summer just don't let uncertainty derail us the way it did at the start of the season.

Frickin Bluenose

Yeah, sooner we get him behind the front 3 the better.

We were only messing with the whole 'rot in the reserves' stuff Phil...

Now that he is going to be with us for the next few months (at least) then I'm all for starting him asap. Could be the difference between winning the league or not so no time for boo-ing or name-calling. Professional footballer, play football professionally. Supporters, support.

Lack of commitment to the cause the first time so f*** 'em. I asked my now wife out 3 times before she said yes, I'm playing the long game to get my revenge...
