Not impossible. He's been here a few seasons now, may have indicated he wants a new challenge and won't sign a new contract. If that were the case, theoretically, now would be the time to sell.

Strasbourg are Chelsea anyway.

Cashin won't be sold for anywhere near what we paid. When the Derby fans heard £10m and said "take the money and run" that should have been a clue. He'll probably stay here another year as backup and then back to the Championship for a couple of million. Hoping of course that I'm wrong and...

Yes true. Sometimes it's worth appreciating just what an achievement it is to make it as a professional footballer at Championship level. Sure, they haven't made it with us but Sarmiento, Moran, Molumby, Alzate, Roberts and doubtless several other young talents that I've forgotten, are all...

Sarmiento will probably be sold to a Championship club for a couple of million and a chunky sell on percentage. He's demonstrably a good option, but not a starter, for promotion chasing sides and chips in with a few goals. He'd be a starter at a mid table side, but how much money do those clubs...

Voted Mitoma. The only real competition in quality is Wilson. But it'll probably be won by Marmoush because of recency bias and fan brigading.

Facu will be a very very good player. The problem he faces is that he offers almost exactly the same thing as Gruda. Both 10s who often play on the right due to lack of opportunity at 10. Both very technical and good dribblers. Both good passers. Neither particularly fast. Gruda is a bit...

It is also true that a more diverse workplace is more likely to challenge the team and lead to higher levels of things like innovation. Introducing different perspectives does make you think about problems from a new angle, because we all approach a problem building on our own personal...

Tzimas's loan was part of the deal to get Nurnberg to sell him to us. They triggered the clause from PAOK and wanted assurances.

Looks great. Very distinctive running style, quite languid so that if you're only watching him you'd think he wasn't that fast, until you see him outpacing all the defenders around him.

Yes, and also just because it's a "baseline" doesn't mean that the "baseline" is as representative as it could be. The tracker is very unevenly weighted towards home fixtures. Yes it all levels out over the course of a whole season, but the point is to track progress game by game, so having the...

Does one of the wealthiest large cities in Germany, with cosmopolitan demographics and a population 5x that of Brighton & Hove, have good Japanese food (one of the most globally popular cuisines)? Obviously it will. You dont need to be by the sea to have good seafood in this day and age. And...

Scherpen takes Verbruggen's vacated spot in the Dutch squad.

No Welbeck, no João Pedro. 3 at the back, who will play upfront?

Sunderland will spend money over the summer. Southampton did not. Sunderland will be better than Southampton.

The failure in this logic is that if they hadn't sold Haaland, Szobo and Pavlovic, the players would have just left for nothing at the end of their contracts. They wouldn't renew because Salzburg can't match the ambitions of elite players. Unfortunately nor can we.

I felt like it was always likely that Mitoma would go this summer, and with the clubs best wishes. He's done a few years with us now and has always been the model pro. Very much a Mac Allister or Gross situation. If he wants to play Champions League, he needs to leave now. Every year extra here...

Would surely cost a lot more than that. Despite his age, he'd surely fetch at least £60m. The £90m Saudi bid is irrelevant, he didn't want to go and nobody else will pay that much. But €40m (£33m) is a piss take.

That could well be Bournemouth. Huijsen already gone. Kerkez about to go. Kepa back to Chelsea. Iraola could be poached. Other in demand players like Kluivert and Semenyo.

There's a part of me that is really hoping that one of the promoted 3 makes a real go of it and stays up. But then if those three are Leeds, Burnley and Sheffield United... Flush them back down asap. Even if being Manchester based, these are three convenient away games for me. Outside calls...
