I'm sure there are many X accounts deserving of that response, @Silverhatch, but @CParkerTurner isn't one of them.
Ignore here and social media and just stick to the official site

Very impressive yesterday from Billy. Unlike other players not playing the old “heads not in the right place“ excuse some players (I’m looking at you Ivan Toney) trot out. Some of our previous departees pulled this one too I believe?

Agree with this although I do think Mount going off helped us a lot. His pressing was causing us issues and making us sloppy in the middle, the injury to him helped us exponentially.

Who said that?
Kadioglu? - if it's ever going to happen?
(Yes I do appreciate this post won't age well if ever he does actually sign for us!)

Mount went off because he was injured, not because Milner had the better of him. Mount had the better of us.

I don't know what 'silly money' is, just that I'd've thought it'd be the only leverage left on our side. But then again, as @GT49er has pointed out, Dan Burn and Trossard wanted to go and we didn't put up too much of a fight. I stand very much corrected!

I've spun my own little story for each of these. Based on nothing but my own musings to make me feel better!
Burn gave splendid and solid service, is a very nice bloke, and wanted to play for his home town club. A real shame, but no problem.
Trossard threw a strop and seemed like a little sh*t at times, de Zerbi didn't like him and everyone thought it best we get rid. A shame but no problem.
Undav was never going to come back here after a season there where he'd obviously enjoyed himself, always struck me as an absolutely solid fella so it was a question of sticking to guns and getting the right price for him. A real shame but no problem.
Sanchez.... well I've absolutely no idea. Threw a strop, pined after Potter, saw the Chelsea money? I feel rather, as the Spanish say, "indiferente".
I'd suggest that holding out for £60m is silly money (the kind of money we got for Cuckoo), but letting a good player that we want to keep for £15m is just daft. What might be more reasonable is saying we won't sell for under £30/£35m. That's not silly money, but is presumably more than Napoli would spend, so he'd stay and we'd have been reasonable.
I'm not sure Dan was part of our long term plan and we understood him wanting to go to his home club, but that fee was too low and I felt we should've asked for a bit more. Probably should've held out for more for Tross too.

Agree on all points. Hope he stays though.
So you agree that's four times TB hasn't played hardball and drained every penny out of the buying club. Exactly - he hasn't always done it.

Milner-Gilmour were more effective than Milner-Wieffer last week and arguably against better players. I think it’s been proved it will be a mistake to let him go. Or at least wait til the next window til the other options are bedded in, whether that’s O’Riley, Baleba or Wieffer. We persuaded Caicedo to wait a window, we should put the same arguments to Billy, the suitors will still be there
