Looks like he is going to Inter Milan anyway - if they kick in an extra £4million to Chelsea.

That might possibly be the case with Sawiris - but Edens is American (owner of the Milwaukee Bucks) and the Americans that own sports teams believe that they should be making a profit from their investment. When he bought the Bucks in 2014 he paid $550million - it is now estimated to be worth...

Apparently Chelsea are looking for £8.5million for Giroud - even with £100K a week for 3 years that is less than £25million for the striker, wages included - that's not a bad price for a player of his calibre.

Villa are throwing the kitchen sink at trying to stay up - if they don't they could be in big trouble.

Sorry for doing this - but insults I cannot let go Anyone who knows me knows that I do not wear 'green-tinted spectacles' - supporting the Irish team is not the same. The comments Easy made would be like someone coming on here saying 'Man City are a FAR superior team than Brighton and Lewis...

That is your choice - you claimed that it wasn't about money - I produced evidence that it probably was. You are right - it has got a bit tedious. You can believe that he switched allegiance for altruistic reasons if you want. As for wasting talent - there are many English born players who...

Can't see any of the kids playing - McCarthy will stick with the 'tried and trusted' - although he has said that Adam Idah will be in the squad. McCarthy is due to be replaced after the Euros (qualify or not) by Stephen Kenny who is the current Irish U21 manager. There will be a major clear out...

Soccer has never been a popular sport in China - and despite a fortune being pumped into it in the recent period it is still way down the list in terms of participation. In Holland soccer is by far and away the most popular sport in the country (and they have a cultural tradition of promoting...

So - back on topic Whether Brighton buys a player or not in January is not the only thing that will determine the outcome of the season - this season is going to be very tight in the bottom half - and if other clubs improve it will have an impact on Brighton.

Said I wouldn't sidetrack this anymore - but I feel compelled to come back at this I would agree that many, even most, players go with what ever is best for their career - or actually their career earnings - it is one of the downsides of football dominated by money. Again - I don't have a...

True - my fault - I was the one who took a swipe at Grealish - back on topic. 8 days in - nothing of consequence.

Again - I don't have a problem with this - There is a false perception that the FAI goes around trying to poach players from other countries on dubious grounds - every country does this - in every sport - the Irish passport qualifications are the same for practically every country in Europe...

Nope - his new agent told him that he could ask for a higher wage if he declared for England, that they could add in bonuses for England appearances and he would command a higher transfer fee (and more money) if he was an English international rather than playing for Ireland - it came out in the...

Really - of the 13 players on the pitch for Ireland that day - 6 were born in Ireland (technically Paul McGrath was born in England - his mother lived in Ireland and was in England when she gave birth) - of the remaining players - Chris Morris - Irish mother and he held dual citizenship from...

Crazy money for kicking a ball around a field for 90 minutes every week - and he hasn't even done that.

There are more than 6 million people of Irish heritage living in the UK (i.e. parent or grandparent) - and almost 1 million who were born in Ireland - a legacy of British colonial rule in Ireland. And it is not like England have never gone and scooped up a non-English player. A serious bit of...

He is a better goalie than Fabianski - time will tell.

It will be interesting to see what impact the transfers have - don't think Rodwell will make a big difference at Sheff U. Darren Randolph will make a difference at West Ham, better than any of the goalkeepers they have at the moment.

You mean this guy - :wanker:
