Brighton are the best run club ever, what they've done is incredible. Esp when you consider they went years without a ground, constantly hovering on the brink of extinction. My only concern with their scouting and selling thing is how many years they could withstand it not working, and if that was the case, what they'd fall back on. I also remember almost the exact same thing being said about Southampton. I am probably overplaying it though.

You're certainly not, you're as out of the closet as Julian Clary when it comes to Villa love and you know it. #UTV

I would. He's better at his age than Grealish was at the same age.

Grealish + Chukwuemeka = £120m which can be assigned in one go if required to any season. Selling home grown for decent money absolutely is FFP gold dust.

I agree with this although I don't think the route is that different. Appoint a very good manager Put in a modern sporting structure behind the scenes to support him Invest in youth (we're a fair bit ahead on this, but you're ahead in the wider picture by at least a season) Sign good players Coach them well Someone has to shake things up. Us, you, Brighton, it all adds to breaking the crushing boredom of an oligopoly which the PL risks becoming.

If it helps, I'm not in the closet.

It is absolutely brilliant, for a low profile non-glamour club like Burnley, they do fantastic social media.

Without wanting to sound melodramatic, this is in a way an important signing for the premier league. Turning down insane tax free Saudi money.

We've now given Leverkusen about £75m in three years so this one had better be decent.

I didn't know his hair was that long. Oh, no, he's the one in the car.

He reminds me of Nigel Reo-Coker. Runs a lot, not much else.

What do people see in Connor Gallagher?

I hope so.

There's an element of humiliation in it, for sure. Everton fans get absurdly indignant at the drop of a hat, so I can imagine what their forums are like now.

In a similar vein, I've identified Margot Robbie as a potential target to entertain me this evening. Signed a new contract last summer despite several bids from Arsenal but he's now going to go to that absolute clown show? Spurs make me laugh.

It's still not August for two weeks. That's when shit starts to move.

Surprised at the lukewarm-ness of this thread. I really rate Barnes. Decent coaching instead of Rodgers sat with his feet up, coasting and waiting for the pay off will make the difference here.

Romano says we're after both Diaby and Doku. I only know two things about Doku. One is that his hamstrings are fucked. The other is that his name sounds a bit like Roku, and it confuses me. Anyway, COME ON, MONCHI, YOU MAD BASTARD!

No fucking chance whatsoever.

Surely even Gareth Southgate's unquenchable love for Jordan Henderson can't survive him playing in Saudi. Can it? I think I'll fucking combust if he carries on getting picked.

Absolutely this. Surprised how many people online are failing to understand this.

A slight error on my part, it's not "anywhere on the Holte", it's 80% of it though.

What are your ticket prices like for next year? Not season tickets, one off matches? Ours are horrific. A seat anywhere on the Holte End for a 'category A' match = £63. Category B = £46. There are only two categories and Cat A now covers half the fucking league. My seat for cat A = £68 and no concessions, so £68 for a kid to sit there. There's 30,000 on the season ticket waiting list apparently so limited match day tickets, but fuck me, that's a lot of money for 90 minutes entertainment.

Wasn't Soucek shit last season?

Levy is going to drag this Kane situation ad infinitum in search of every last euro, totally oblivious to the fact it is weighing that club down. Fucking sell him and move on, you can't have that nonsense almost every summer. He clearly wants to go, get it over and done with and move on. Obviously I don't want Spurs to get things right so ^^^^ hope they don't actually do the above, but jesus christ, it's such a boring never ending story, even for non Spurs fans.
