I don’t like to judge people based on second hand stuff on the internet. But this guy doesn’t sound like the right sort of character for our team. We’vegot a likeable group, brilliant teamspirit and a fantastic attitude. That’s what our success has been built on. This guy sounds like he’s put money before his career development and seems to think he’s better than us. Fuck him off and move on, hope we’ve got someone else lined up. As per yourself this could all be subjective rumour and internet bile, but the explosion of PL & TV money in general has, on the face of it, increased the number of half decent players thinking they're the George Best of modern day football and some also have the arrogance to match that viewpoint of their abilities. (Ya Ya Toure - granted he was a v good player, but was he really so God like for Man C? - he came across as a lot of a prick inside & outside of the game...) I don't think it's just the players though, I'm sure if these kids who might always have had a touch of arrogance have had smoke blown up their arseholes from an early age, then it just reinforces their self belief...

A Club with our finances cannot afford to get carried away and get involved in a 'wages auction' with other Clubs that is likely to be driven by a greedy agent that could end up with us breaking a wages structure (not that we would I am sure) . Nor should we. It sounds like it is failing to get over the line on Personal terms and if that's the case, move on, we don't want him (or his greedy agent) anywhere near us. Agree - the key is let's get something sorted before the season starts But given all now seem to believe everything in the press now (accept there will be some truth in it) was there a negative reaction to Durm when we signed him given similar press stories.... If he signs I'm sure it would all be positive Either way it doesn't get passed the point we need more quality in the final third in the first XI (squad better accepted but weaker options at 10) None of us know what the truth is re the negotiations and what is reported in the press. There is no questioning he would be a quality addition. I do though hope the Club walks away from any deal where in essence we are being asked to get involved in some sort of purchase price or wages paid auction / bidding war with other Clubs. Which may or may not be going on here.

I might have missed something, but had not seen anything said by Limbombe himself, only stuff in the gossip press. So think that a bit unfair to say he lacking in class or respect. Fair call, I went and tried to find the article, but couldn’t find it. With that in mind I decided to delete my post and give him the benefit of the doubt that his words are being twisted by the press. If you edit/or delete your post I would appreciate that.

This is just standard football negotiation. Literally every single player and agent try and squeeze clubs to the top of what they'd be willing to pay, just with most the details aren't made public. I still think he will end up here FWIW.

If a club offer him a better deal - no reason he would want to come to Town for less. Most people would think that way too. Let's move on and get someone better.

All about negotiations. Don't blame the lad for trying. Brugge clearly want the money. If Town won'y budge Ball in their court to bung him a few quid to leave. Notice, the grammar police didn t jump on your case, yet your grammar was awful. I couldn t understand what the f you were on about in the last sentence. Must be because I said something the little kids/pretend hard men but can t back it up, didn t like, that s why they keep having a go back at me, cos the pathetic little boys, brave in numbers but shit little scared cowardly bullies who couldn't scrap their way out of a paper bag when faced with a one on one, didn t like what I said, and can give it out but aren t men enough to take it back lol. What a set of arsewipes they are. I m ashamed they SO CALL support the same team as me.Real Men Real Cowshed like me, could take it back, and would never chicken out in a one on one or EVER turn on other Town Supporters like they always do. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.........

Got my posts ready for when we finally find out whats happening. OPTION 1 - Great signing, just what we need, will rip defences apart, welcome to HTFC. OPTION 2 - Absolute arrogant twat, not the type we want here, so glad we didn't sign the greedy twat. This guy has gone from our potential superstar to a despised, greedy dickhead. All by Chinese whispers. Social media is ace, isn't it?

He’ll probably end up here because I write this, but, I haven’t warmed to this guy since we were linked to him. He started off with comments in the media about not wanting to play in a team that would be in a relegation battle. Newsflash champ, unless you play in the top 6 in the PL or the top 4 in the Budesliga, you are in a relegation fight. It makes me question his character and if he wants to stay in a top team, stick to Belgium where you can be a top dog in a little pool. Then went on to say he would rather play in the Bundesliga. Fair enough can accept that, but when a number of PL clubs enquire about you because Town are linked, if they aren’t making offers you have a choice to make. Either shit or get off the pot. Delaying the deal only effects your preparations and Towns preparations in a league where every game counts and a point can be the difference between staying up or relegation. Finally, he’s been given the opportunity to play in the best league in the world, however, not every team pays like Manure. Changing management wasn’t going to change the offer Town put in for you. Shows he has no loyalty. Agree with everything else you said, but couldn't you have chosen a better analogy. You may be Yorkshire but that doesn't mean you have to be crude and conjour up, disgusting, sickening images, for the rest of us to imagine in our minds, as we read your bilge. He's crude cos he's an Aussie 😉

From what’s been written in the press about failing to agree terms then he sounds a classic Mark Hughes signing ... and that’s not a compliment!

He has signed for a half decent agency based in London. They will know exactly the sort of wages we are prepared to pay & a player like him can expect to earn. 100k PW is laughable.

Nevermind the transfer fee. He's that tight, they had a wage bill of almost £80M in the Championship ! Ashley isn't liked by the Geordies because he won't fund a yearly deficit in the Premier League - and he's quite right. We don't expect Dean Hoyle to fund the club whilst we're in the Premier League - most of us expected him to take back some of the £50M he's already invested. So why should Newcastle fans expect any different from Mike ashley.

I totally agree, I think the Newcastle fans live on a different planet when it comes to how critical they are about him, most owners would have lowered their wage bill massively after relegation but he took a gamble & it lead to promotion & 10th place in the premier league. My point is he will no longer pay silly fees & wages, calling him tight was the wrong word I suppose.
