Oh 100%. Gross is one of the rough diamonds I mention. Not a big fee, decent wages, lowish expectation but high reward and contribution. He's arguably our best ever signing in terms of context and value. I tend to agree too on the moneyball approach in lesser leagues, but I think we're moving...

If I were Dunk and any other really top player at the club, I'd be negotiating a new deal the moment the came through the door on £85k p/w. I heard on the Guardian Podcast this week that big money signings almost never bring guaranteed success (Neymar and Mbappe are great players but still no...

They already have, so either it's still horseshit and they can't be bothered to engage again or it isn't and they're either unaware or being told to keep schtum. The rumours are hardening up it seems, but it's rare for both of the main Brighton reporters to be wrong. That's even if they are...

It's possibly better phrased as "absence of evidence to the fact". It may well come off, I hope it does, but my cynicism comes from years of rubbish links created by one or two so called "ITK" people (including journalists) spewing out clickbait. I genuinely hope I'm proved wrong but as always...

Eurgh tell me about it. This smacks of being a transfer rumour that everyone has latched on to because they desperately want it o be true, despite all the evidence to the contrary

Cheers, I have revised my assessment accordingly :) As an aside, why is the music on these videos always so remorselessly awful?

Fair enough. I've not watched loads of him if I'm honest, just the usual YouTube highlights so happy to be proved wrong. If he's more of a Welbeck than a Benteke, cool.

I have to say, I'm with Naylor on this one. Edouard is a good striker who will one day find his way to the Premier League, but I'd be surprised if it's with us. Why? Because he's not the type of striker Potter want to play with. Our best games last season had Maupay, Welbeck and Trossard as a...

True. But they have a bigger stadium, a bigger overseas following (for example: 1.5m more followers on Twitter), a longer track record in the top flight, and a bigger budget for players and wages... So all things considered, if you also then include being more successful than us for the last 30...

At what point did "BREAKING" become shorthand for "I've just made up a rumour"? The amount of Twitter goons that start every tweet with "Breaking" mildly annoys me. It's not breaking news mate, it's a loser in his bedroom who's decided to pop 2+2 into the transfer equation and come up with 38...

I mean, I'm all for bias towards your own team but Leicester are much bigger than us currently. That may well change in the future, but any club that's won the Premier League and an FA Cup in the last 5 years and has sustained top 5 finishes pretty regularly is bigger than us.

True, Rodgers knows him as well as anyone. That said, they would be signing him as competition for 2 superb strikers in Vardy and Iheanacho so it's less of a punt (even at £15m-£20m+). I would suggest we'd be buying him as an out and out first choice. Iheanacho has taken 18 months to properly...

Having watched a couple of probably hugely misleading YouTube videos (and immediately muting the crap, thumping Locadia-esque dance music), the things that jump out as me are as follows: - Scottish defending is dreadful; - He sorts his feet out quickly; - His 1-on-1 finishing is very confident...
