Petrovic

Potentially but depends who gets involved. If he wants England(Premier League), he has 20 options. If he wants to start in the Premier League, he has less options. Etc., etc.

If Chelsea are holding out for more money than the rumoured 25M level we are at with them due to other interest, we just may not want to go further as we still have a lot of work to do. This is a significant chunk of what we have to use

Possible - but I'd read somewhere that Chelsea had a "gentleman's agreement" at 25M.


There are a bunch of articles that mention that agreement if you google "Chelsea Petrovic Gentlemans Agreement". How true that is, I don't know.
 
I had hoped he would sign for us, however, I reckon this deal has now gone and we move on.
Happy if proved wrong, but as I said yesterday, I don’t think the lad wants to come here.
Hope he enjoys the noise of 11,000 in attendance on the south coast.
Aaron Ramsdale anyone?

We just have to be patient. Not every potential transfer is going to be reported and sorted within a day or two. We’re a newly promoted team up in the north east. Bournemouth are relatively established and on the south coast. It’s less of a risk for him to go there and it’s only natural he’d be negotiating with other clubs.

Let’s see how it pans out.
 
That's funny, I was leaving the store just after him and I got behind him. He kept pummeling the brakes, so I backed off, then he'd zoom ahead and flick a half-smoked cigarette out the window at my car - a perfect hit right in the center of the windscreen every time. I finally got up to a red light next to him - he was going to the left and I straight and I made the mistake of looking over at him and he ran his finger across his throat. Then, he rammed the accelerator and cut me off again, before coming to a complete stop, forcing me to a complete stop.

As he exited the vehicle, he was chucking a can of beer and rolling up his sleeves. I was terrified. I rolled the window down - I have a crank window, you see, not power windows. He leans into my car and just whispers: "We'll lose 'em on the straightaway, follow my lead". I had no clue what he was on about but he opened up my door, cranked the window up, shut the door and flat-out sprinted to his car. He rammed the accelerator, squealed his tire and I just sat, dumbfounded, watching his tail lights drift away. That was the last I saw of old Jimmy Skinback.
Incredible lore thank you

Pft, get out of here with your common sense, man!
 
A man on the internet called Jimmy Skinback. Why wouldn’t you immediately trust everything he says?

It still annoys us that one of our more prominent “journalists” (he does write for reputable media outlets before someone starts) is called “Captain Fishpaste”

Dortmund media were also reporting there was a “gentleman’s agreement” with Jobe and us, for about 10m less then they paid in the end tbf.

I assumed at the time that it was older information and that we would have sold him for that if we hadn't gone up. Considering Speakman's relationship with the family, you'd assume we were in contact and got their blessing to increase the price a bit.
Dortmund were pretty eager to pay it anyway.
