The 45mins obviously made me think to pose the question. Mainly Liverpool TBH and I feel he hides. Nothing special for the outlay required personally. You think we missed out?

A year on… anyone still thinking we missed out on Szlob? Cant say I’ve been very impressed with him when watching him for Liverpool and Hungary.

Guessing Bayern Munich have the advantage as the release clause is tied to that competition and they will be the only ones in it of the teams mentioned so far. Lucks in for Palace as I’d imagine there’d be quite a bidding war for his services.

Thought Palmer played RWF for them also? Or is he deeper?

Looking at the point comparison the club released the (fear of) ID checks definitely did their job. Some striking differences.

Not clear but going of GKs sock line I’d say slightly more out than in.

Yeah that’s what I read he had demanded. Always give bad vibes the way he let Bournemouth down.

For no other reason than I have a blind spot for him but if we picked this guy up on an incentive based contract I think he could be ideal for our midfield. Times I saw him play (not loads admittedly) I thought he oozed quality. Much better player than Maddison. Guessing he’s a lazy sod…

Just a bit concerned of length of contract. 4+1 probably wiser with his injury record. 3+2 even if he proves his fitness and availability over first 3 seasons.

I read somewhere yesterday he apparently still wants his £3m salary owed as well as a free transfer…

There’s been no contact/discussions with the Freeman from the club as of very recently regarding SJP/expansion/move.

No such thing as a freebie and quite often prove more expensive deals. Wether it be signing on fee, wage level or contract length.

3inchs taller than Pope apparently.

Highlights (obviously I suppose) he looks very good. Remember that save from Anderson as had goal written all over it. Seems a very smart signing if the fee is indeed £15-20m and low-average weekly wage. Any hint on his current salary?

Always a bit wary of transfer stories breaking Saturday morning. Not seen enough of him to judge ability but going for him would suggest Pope starts No.1 this season.

Man City get 20%

Disagree. They finished above us. In Europe. Friends with a few key team mates. Has worked with the new manager already.

The more the details seep out the clearer it is we had very little chance of signing this lad. The move makes perfect sense for him on many levels.

Exactly. We might of chosen Tonali over him depending on the timing of the discussions and back ourselves to develope Miley who probably surprised a few with his development.

Nah that wouldn’t be great for football. Allowing us and everyone else in the same division to spend as much as the the team with the biggest limit however is all the rules have to be.

Would imagine it depends on the opposition.
