yeah I realise that but that's what your agent/lawer is for and gross salary is the most important factor in terms of FFP.

He loves to point out net salary. Which as discussed previously is bullshit. He's not going to be getting paid €16m. I hate the notion of net pay anyway, it's almost like footballers don't pay tax...Wait a minute.

Love the way the local journos drag their arse over the line after the real journalists go about their job reporting facts and not spouting fucking garbage.

£40m is more than a fair price for a player of his quality who will be out of contract next year. Hopefully Maddison makes it known he wants to come here to cut short the bidding war Leicester desperately want.

We might pay the whole 50 upfront which might tempt Inter but this is all just speculation. We lumped up all of Gordon's fee I think.

If we were to try and buy McTominay, how much do you honestly think Man U would sell him to us for? I can't imagine it would be cheap giving how much theyve fucked us around in recent windows. This makes me think we're not going to spunk £40m on him if we're trying to spend carefully.

Agree it was either Rice getting caught up in the emotion of the occasion or he's extremely shrewd and PR savy.

West Ham have been shit and I can't see them getting any better.

Watching West Ham here makes me appreciate what a pleasure it's been to watch us this season. It's wetting the appetite for Europe next season as we'd rip this Fiorentina team apart.

I think he looked decent and I was very surprised when I found out he was only 20. Plays like a seasoned pro.

When you look at the Chelsea situation, it really does rub our's and the rest of the 14's noses in a big pile of shit. A complete and utter rigged game. Man U will spend vast amounts...again, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal will all out spend us I think. The one I find most aggraivating is Chelsea as they've benefited from some of the dirtiest money going and basically gotten away with it scott free with multiple PL titles and 2 CLs.

Lovely ball that like

Don't think he's a greedy bastard, more making a point which I can see from his point of view being an international etc.

Main reason for Mount's pay demands, were because all the newly acquired players getting massive wages and he felt that if they wanted him to stay and be part of the team he should be on the same as them.

That run up was as ridiculous as the decision to give it.

Well his personality will fit right in. Seems a very likeable down to earth lad. I'm comfortable recruiting him, on a side note the Arsenal canteen looks nothing special.

You're right it was the away match I was thinking of.

Agree 100% with this. He was brilliant against us at St James for Palace and he always caught my eye when palace played that season. I can see it happening and Chelsea with want to squeeze as much out the deal as possible. I suppose the problem we have is we paid £40m for Gordon so driving Gallagher's price down will be hard. As well as the wages situation.

ASM is doing some nice things. But the Chelsea team look like they can't be arsed. Other than Sterling.

He went to watch Botman for the u21s before we signed him. Not sure he just might like to have a final look before he approves going for a player. Just guessing but I imagine since he's basically the guy that brings everything together he likes to have some input if it's a hefty chunk of change we're parting with.

Think I'm more disappointed as it racks the pressure up a few notches for the Brighton and Leicester matches.

If this finishes a draw, we can't complain with a point. We've been shite.

We've been poor in this game. Haven't created nearly enough.
