Okay Mr Parish, I consider that (just like my commission plan) in your latest offer to Liverpool for Benteke there are elements that will never be achieved, so, now in your revised offer just be realistic. Offer £30m cash and no add-ons. If you want the player, just make a simple offer.

Most certainly not European.

Good advice. But SP is probably trying to find ways squeeze the money to bring several players in, for example, repacements for Bolasie and Jedi, plus a couple of strikers, plus LB/RB cover, plus a midfield playmaker....

We must sold more than we have bought in helping our new owners bank balance.

At the moment we have received around £15 m than spent in this window.

The replacements for Yannik and Jedi will be more than matched by the money they raised. In fact I would say we won't be spending anything like that on their replacements.

We have previously bid £32 m for Mitchu.

In my opinion the money is there to fund the players we need.

The issue is either SP is unable to deal with the negotiations at this level or Alan partridge Pardew cannot make up his mind which players he wants.

You are seriously sitting on a place you are talking from: Peterborough,League One.

EAGLES UP!

Liverpool considered our various add on clauses as widely unrealistic and we have made ourselves a laughing stock in the process.
Being in business for many years,our maxim was kiss,meaning keep it simple,stupid.
Not being a conspiracy theory,but did SP put in such a ridiculous ,unacceptable offer, knowing it would be refused, just to justify his earlier stance that he was working very hard to get players over the line,in order to placate the fans??
As the clock to window closure ticks,do sincerely hope that we have not sold our gold only to bring in a series of loan and free signings,then once again complaining that he has never known such a difficult window as this one.
