I can't see Sir Jimmy R paying anything over £5 million, don't think he wants to pay anyone the going rate. No matter who they are. It's likelier that in our PSR panic we relented / compromised on it.

I think the club was maybe expecting Bruno to go. They had been preparing all season about a big name leaving.

There are probably other impacts that seem from points deduction. It does impact reputation and I'm sure our sponsors or any potential sponsors wouldn't be ecstatic about the news, being non compliant.

Club has done pretty well to get the sales done in time tbf. Wonder whether there are any buy back clauses in either.

Think we should just be thankful that we have Minteh to sell at the moment. Selling one of the 'purples' would have been more difficult to comprehend.

Calafiori is unreal like. Top finish that too.

To be honest quite like the transfer. Obviously his injury record is horrific. So it's a bit of a gamble. Back when he was being managed by Ancelotti he was one of the best forwards in the PL.

Howe confirmed after the Dortmund game that we were interested in Nmecha.

Have seen a few of his interviews and he does come across as pretty awkward. Maybe it's related somehow.

Considering the gushing praise he had for Tonali upon his signing, find this narrative pretty lazy.

Our club crest really doesn't suit any kind of hat.

No excuses for not doing the domestic triple now.

I'm not sure. He's obviously very happy, settled and has never sought to leave Milan. If he did come, I don't think it would be difficult to imagine that rumours of moves back to his native country Italy would appear in the press sooner rather than later.

Maldini ffs Any top DOF job made available in Italy and he would be constantly be linked to it. He would probably welcome any offer to coming his way too, since that's his native country. Would personally stay clear, although he obviously knows his stuff.

McKenna must have the same agent as Lloyd Kelly. Gets linked to everyone.

Why does Kelly barely get any minutes?

He's class like. Livramento and Hall looks to be astute signings.

Having seen various Brighton interviews with backroom staff. The one thing they all emphasize is always have contingency plans in place with all their top players / staff in the event they leave. They would already know at this point who they should contact.

We should be all over that.

I like the idea of looking at these signings. Only concern is offering a salary which is above and beyond what he's worth. If it turns sour we are stuck with a player we can't shift.

Man Utd looked alright around the League Cup final last year. What has happened to them, such a big drop from then.
