Buy back clauses should be banned.

Turns out Liverpool included a buy back clause. Not surprised by that.

Chelsea allegedly after Kolo Muani.

The away tie was a no-contest. The home game they set a trap for Gordon when dribbling inside and would hit us on the break, but could have gone either way. Joelinton sitter and Wilson hitting the bar in particular.

I know Beadle's a lurch but that's outrageous

Aye, it says he's 5ft 7 on wiki but surely he's closer to 5ft 2? It throws you off seeing him stand next to other players in the lineups.

I can’t recall hearing that, but if it’s true then it would probably only be Nike who would have been able to offer more. As much as we have history with Adidas, Nike have done very well with making both PSG and Spurs global brands.

Definitely. Pay him top money for another 2 years and sell him then. He'll be 27 and possibly at his peak. A win for everyone.

You're making too much sense here. Not sure if you're angling for a reach around, but I'm prepared to give you one. Just this once, though

It’s probably worth remembering that if you are a member this season, you’ll likely be consulted on the new club badge, and potentially the new stadium. I can’t see them consulting with fans outside of that, as it would be difficult to prove that they are fans of the club.

Yeah, that and a bit more cash will do it. We can't say he's worth north of £100m and then pay him like he's only worth £60m.

This isn't the travesty it used to be. Even for Palace.

I think we need to show him, and our other top players, that we're going to be ambitious. A couple of top quality signings, particularly a striker to lessen the load on him, might be enough to persuade him that his future is at Newcastle. At least for another couple of seasons. I'd take that right now in a heartbeat.

We got thugged out against Dortmund. Slim but definitive margins. On the whole we were pretty poor in the CL. Lucky to get a draw against Milan imo. Didn't have enough about us in the home game. Phenomenal at home to PSG. Shit decision in Paris but on balance of play a draw was a fortunate result. Not good enough in either tie against Dortmund. On the balance of play we deserved 3-5 points and no more. Tough as hell draw though.

Let's just pay the guy what he deserves, right? Wirtz is making just over 200k, I think 250k is reasonable. He's world-class, after all.

And Jo missed that absolute sitter to make it 1-1.

Alexander Isak speaks out on his future after Arsenal, Man Utd & Tottenham links: "Yeah, of course I want to be here in the future," he told @MsiDouglas. "I came here for the project, I absolutely love playing here, I really feel at home." Guess there is nothing there also?

The Huijsen stuff is air. He was signed for £15m and was sold for £50m and they got a good season out of him. It would be annoying having to get a new CB again - but Huijsen would've paid for 2 £50m signings for a single season. Or one £50m signing for 3 years. The key to establishing ourselves as a top club is consitently delivering on the pitch. Qualifying for the CL again next season is priority 1. If a player that comes in for 1 season and then leaves - but is key in helping to achieve that - it's absolutely fine. In the mean time we are cracking up the FMV of our sponsorships and eating prize money.

If they had the squad they ended with from the start they would've got CL football. Our squad is significantly weaker. When they beat us they brought Malen, Barkley, Rashford, Onana & Ramsey off the bench. 2 French internationals on the bench didn't get a minute. We are way short of that depth.

They somewhat surprisingly reduced the % of payments based on coefficient with the new format. But by adding more games and guaranteeing high profile (Super League-esque) group stage games they can justify bigger broadcast deals so everyone who is regularly in it will get more money.

Are they getting Kyle Walker too?

Good signing for the toffees.

Do you ever wonder why you and TCD cop so much flack on here compared to everyone else?

Fancy Quansah to do well at Leverkusen.
