Runnarson to continue in goal.

Bulut explicitly denied that in the press conference - at least according to the Wales Online live blog (not watched it yet).

Q: Not under pressure from Arsenal to play him?

Bulut: "For sure not."

It would have been easy to dodge the question, but a straight out denial looks convincing to me.

And you seem to be suggesting there was a loan fee involved (that would be higher if he didn't play a certain number of matches) - when we couldn't pay a loan fee.

I was told exactly what I posted, maybe instead of a higher fee it was a higher proportion of his wages and I misunderstood. Do you think all managers tell the truth at all times? They will say (or be told what to say) what fits at the time

Bulut also said in his press conference about Runnarsson that he would never single out an individual player but isn’t that what he did with Tanner, Robinson and Colwill? I enjoy his press conferences but that struck me as a bit of a contradiction

Didn’t he say for mistakes?

I don’t think his issue was Tanner Colwill was so much mistakes just what they weren’t doing during games.

I don't doubt you posted what you were told. And a variable % of wages paid depending on number of games played was probably allowed in the summer. And all managers do not tell the truth at all times. But I thought Bulut's direct answer to the question was pretty convincing. He could have avoided a straight answer. However, none of us know the truth - and it leaves room for a lot of entertaining speculation.
