The issue being that if they’ve done well at a high enough level for us to consider them ready for the Premier League, they would likely cost more than we’d be willing to pay. I’m thinking of Gyokeres here really, with prices of £40m+ being put around. Can’t really think of any others to be...

More likely to be a percentage of the wage paid by each club for the duration of the contract. They pay 60% we pay 40%, for example. Really can’t see it happening though, Barca are still said to be interested and we can’t even guarantee him starts. Also, I don’t think we need to keep going...

It’s almost like his brand new agent was only after making as much money as quickly as possible, and didn’t give a toss about the player’s prospects other than earning potential. Almost.

He absolutely did, yes.

Just one more thought on Chelsea, before I move onto something more interesting like what sandwich I’m going to have for lunch. They are desperate to sell, but almost every one of their saleable assets is on a lengthy contract thanks to their “genius” strategy, with few clubs likely willing to...

I’m personally not sure. They have this idea at Chelsea that they’ve been a “top striker” away from success for about two decades now, the reality is that they ruin very good strikers. Off the top of my head, Lukaku, Shevchenko, Morata, Werner, Jackson, Torres, Aubamayang and Batshuayi have all...

Strikes me as the living and breathing definition of a confidence player. All sunshine and roses when feeling valued, in a good team which utilises his strengths and protects his weaknesses. He has been thrown to the wolves at Chelsea. Enormous fee, nowhere to hide and massive expectation. Add...

Or, indeed, a voodoo one.

Very poor quality contribution to the thread. Very poor indeed.

We’ll be getting Colwill on loan (left side centre back) plus a left wing back who is undoubtedly all but set. We have some very savvy people running our football club and I absolutely trust them. Brilliant business

Makes 100% sense. Seems pretty obvious to me what is going on.

Surprised the BBC caught out with this one.

It’s all gone very, very bitter on Blue Moon.

This. Love it when you are sober and posting about football. One of the best on here.

Don’t talk about my grandmother like that, you *******.

Well, it’s more a case of arguing with the tosser. Just wait for his current manic high to end, I’ve noticed usually around 12 hours later. The grandiose posting and conspiracy stuff all stops, until a few days later when the next “delivery” arrives. And I’m not talking about pizza.

Yeah, looks like he has definitely all but gone now. Real shame. Wonder what the fee is, and who is lined up to replace him...

As far as defences go (in the legal sense) it's a bloody good one, isn't it?

Mane went for £35m, Bissouma for £25m, according to the BBC. That's a £10m difference.
