A lot of the work to make them that is after they get here. It's why we have a great hit rate.

Jermaine Beckford even !

Throw in that often an extension comes with a release clause which could well see the club get well below market value. Release clauses need to be fucked off.

I doubt anyone would quibble over an extra £20, are you talking an extra £20 per game ?

But those are still a healthy part of the of those clubs overall revenues. Also if the ticket prices go up they could provide an even larger part of overall revenues.

My guess is a plastic Liverpool fan. Seeing how easy we done them in the cup and not letting them have Isak seems to have touched a nerve.

What if we did compromise but they still wanted more? Wasn't "moving the goalposts" mentioned ?

Not the first time either.

52m for a footballer isn't fair or right or logical.......its business.

Platinum lace ?

And the others?

The Bruno, Tonali,Barnes, Botman deals took about a week at least from first hitting the press. Im guessing that was them hanging on for better deals but settled for us when they didn't show?

It was before we were mentioned again so he had no reason to say it. Holding out like crazy or his agent got a call when our offer was accepted or even before.

The player himself is quoted as saying if PSG hadn't came in, he'd have came here.

How firm are they on entire months within entire years ? Would he have had to be here on July 1st ?

There wasn't one.

A "Home-Grown Player" means a player who, irrespective of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons, or 36 months, before his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21. Right, 36 months from the end of the season he turns 21 which is 2027/28 would be July 25 if the end of the season for registration (contracts) purposes is the end of June.

Right let's have a go....... He's 21 during the 27/28 season (March) so the end of that season would be May or June, 3 years before the end of that season would be May or June 25 so if he signs today he'd still be at least 1 month short. That sound right ?

The thing I'm not looking forward to with this signing is people saying, if we are struggling on the pitch "we should put that kid on from Korea, you dont know until you try him" A la Kuol

"Or the end of the season during which he turns 21" So he would be classed as homegrown wouldn't he ? I'm genuinely asking someone to work it out

It'll be Spain at some point so ultimately.....no !

Man Utd being mentioned for Sesko

Imagine in a mens Euro quarter final one of them strapping his own leg up ? Nah, me neither.

But its so good, so good.
