Pascal Gross to BVB from Brighton

How come it's only Napoli who seem interested in Billy Gilmour? You'd think he'd be an asset for most teams given the cheap asking price

Looks like Chiesa's agents are just trying to drum up interest, he's linked with Spurs this morning

Didn't he delay joining Sheff Wed as he wanted to watch the cricket in the West Indies

He loves everyone and everyone loves him

Yeah I just meant in terms of his age and profile

I don't think anyone is saying selling Gordon would be a good strategy? At least you've provided a different view though regarding not signing Barnes which is more than TCD is doing other than "we should have put a buy back clause in like Real Madrid do" Regarding Barnes though this time last year he was a more established Prem player than Gordon was. And we needed a squad for our extra games

Fulkrug is a proper West Ham signing

I'd like to know what alternatives you're suggesting? People keep saying this but we don't have the youngsters Villa and Chelsea have to sell

Yessss

Why would Brighton agree to that?

The whole point is we don't have a backlog of options like that because the academy has been on its knees for decades The comparison to Real Madrid is completely pointless

You were criticising us for being too shady the other day. What other loopholes could we have done? And you wanted us to sign more players to make a profit but also spend less money in previous windows? You said we should buy more players to make a profit but also said the plan can't have been to sell Minteh for profit? You say all this like it's really obvious when you're contradicting yourself all the time or like you're playing a video game

What are you suggesting would have been a better plan? We can't magically have sold our academy youngsters for £20mil like Villa

Bit of a whopper this lad

Any lowlights kicking about of this?

Correct. No idea what he's doing up here

Which former England player has just walked past me in town?

I think Son's legs have gone and isn't the same player he once was

Could be a ploy to get his son back to us

There's still 6 weeks left of the transfer window to go

Again, Villa selling their youngsters to Hull and Sheff Utd is not the same as us selling to Brighton

But why would Brighton agree to a buy back clause? What do they have to gain from it? They nearly always get amazing value for their players No one was going to give us £35mil and be happy with a buy back clause unless it was a huge number £80/90mil

I'm not sure how we were the shadiest club when Villa, Everton and Chelsea were all in cohoots overinflating fees for their random youngsters? How do we know the club didn't plan for Minteh to play a season for a champions league club and then sell him for a profit?
