Sancho was a player getting bought due to hype and profile at the time. It felt like they didn’t give the slightest consideration as to what made him so good at Dortmund and if the same conditions existed at Man U.

Worth double in a few years if he stays fit

They literally sold Salisu yesterday mate

Perhaps a loan to buy at a higher price, they make something against the sell on fee and we get a season of him proving his fitness?

Heffernan the most Irish lad ever Interesting bit about Brexit being the reason of them joining the Milan clubs, makes sense we’re picking them up as soon as we are eligible too.

He cost them £5m and signed a new contract in Jan with no release clause. They can ask for whatever they want, unless he breaks both legs his resale value is always going to be a massive profit. Brighton recorded record profits as a club last year, absolutely no pressure to sell. Leicesters downfall was the transfer inflation as they became more successful - their punts became more expensive as their reputation for scouting relatively unknown gem’s increased. When these started failing they became bloated and unable to shift them. The allowing players like Tielemans and Maddison to run contracts down wasn’t smart but only a small part of the story.

Earl of Pitt Street does a belting Sunday dinner and is 5 mins walk from the ground. You’d likely need to book mind.

Can he play left back?

Poor Moyesy can’t catch a break

They’ve bid 25m, Soton want 40m Sounds like temperatures are rising at West Ham, Moyes wants PL experience but everyone knows they have the Rice money

Reliable goal scorers are very thin on the ground, would be mental to lose him.

Wonder how much he’s rinsed them for in wages

Helps our siege mentality I suppose

Brighton are currently winning the game of chicken on Caicedo so trying to buy another player of them should be equally entertaining

RE the stopclock debate I think there’s a player welfare issue here too. Say in a match where there is little time wasting and minimal incident there will still be inactive time of about 20min (which is being extremely conservative). Top players will play around 50 or so games a season (purely at club level). So at a minimum your adding a further 1000 minutes of play - equivalent to another 11 games worth. Most top players are already playing far too much football - I think we saw last season when teams like Liverpool we’re just physically spent. I know they get paid a fortune and the clubs have the best conditioning coaches they can get but they are still just humans, burnout happens. God knows how many more ACLs we’ll see if the WSL decided to copy if it was brought in. I also actually think you’d end up with a much slower less intense and consequently more boring game as if it’s all going in at the end why rush. You’d be diluting the product yet further in the vain pursuit of some perfect idea of ‘fairness’.

Would be pretty harsh on Diaby like

Don’t get me started on the stopclock brigade. Folk who want the clock to pause at any ‘non active’ play. Footballs always been about 60 odd mins of in play time. It’s fine.

Calling it now that it won’t be applied evenly. Folk have such a hard on for this stuff that they’ll happily run the players into the ground to achieve it. There’s already too much football, no need to make it even longer.

If he wins the Balon D’or at Palace? Or will Palace have to stump up money if he wins it later in his career? Absolutely pointless clause.

Bighton signing player I didn’t know existed 101

Absolutely no talk about this (an injury) on the Southampton boards

Honestly think there’s a challenge/ bet in the media team about how many times St James Park can be mentioned in a short interview. Speaks well though.
