Ayew Staying on 20:33 - Sep 1 by jack247 | If we go up with Ayew and Baston playing major roles, it will be in spite of the owners, not because of them. Baston wasn’t given a squad number until the end of pre season. Birch went on record saying their wages could cripple us. But as you say, if we go up, who cares? Fans win, owners win. |
Did Birch say this before we sold DJ and OM?. | | | |

Way before we sold McBurnie. A deal was effectively done for James a long time before it happened. He certainly knew James was going when he said it. | | | |

Ayew Staying on 20:25 - Sep 1 by thornabyswan | No it doesn't clear anything up we sold 40 million quid worth of talent and have a better side than last. Your thread about Birch being on thin ice was the biggest load of crap I have seen on here for a long time. [Post edited 1 Sep 2019 20:27]

Yeah, it would be, because it went over your head. There was no insinuation at the time that there was an appetite to keepp Borja or Ayew, in fact it was the opposite, so your gloating now is more down to luck than judgement on your part. I can accept that and I’m happy the players are staying now that we sold McBurnie but I can’t keep on pointing out the obvious to you. | |

I am not gloating just pointing out that this transfer window has worked out pretty well. And that you stating Birch was on thin ice was a bit foolish. Whether it was luck or not Birch has got a lot more right than wrong since he joined the club | |

Ayew Staying on 20:10 - Sep 1 by ItchySphincter | Since the club decided to cash in on James and especially Oli we are extremely fortunate to have players of the caliber of Ayew and Baston in the championship and even more fortunate that the owners appear to have been talked in to a change of heart, or at least a short term roll of the dice. |
Mental that we sell 2 of our pups for £35mil and actually have another £35mil worth of direct replacements in the back cupboard we'd forgotten about, who couls turn into even better assets in this division. I can't believe shit like that actually happens. Fair play to Birch and the boys mind. | |

Agree with most of that. I can’t help but wonder though if we’ve had our hand forced a little; how many offers were actually out there for both Ayew and Baston? | |

Any decent offer and they’d both have gone. If you’d asked Birch or the Americans in pre season, there’s no way they’d have wanted either of them here now. May well work very much in our favour though | | | |

Indeed. Things changed, and it’s a good thing they did. | |

I wonder where we would be now had we let Dan go to Leeds for a bag of beans. There's no doubt if we had received any decent offers for Ayew or Baston both would be gone by now, however things are much different now, and dare I say, I think Birch is doing a great job of running a headcase of a club. | |

Ayew Staying on 21:56 - Sep 1 with 2165 views | Dr_Winston | If Ayew is to be believed then decent offers were received yet he's still here. The sales of both McBurnie and James have made a massive difference to the clubs outlook. I'd imagine that deep down Birch and co would prefer to not have Baston, Ayew and probably a couple of others on the payroll but there's breathing space now. | |

Depends if Leeds got promoted or not but if they bottled it like they always do he would have come back to us and probably then gone off to United for the same price. £1.5m loan fee banked. | | | |

Remarkable how many read the article but didn’t comprehend it. From the first game he played Ayew has looked fiercely committed and from that game on we’ve won every one of them. Fantastic news for all involved with our magnificent club. Great work Birchy! | |
