Yeah, we've bid more and signed a player for more than £30m this window. We do seem to love being linked with players in that £35m sweet spot though.

reckon that's the top end of talent who'll join a non-CL side, and also operating in our (current) wage structure.

On his podcast, Fab once again reported that a deal was agreed yesterday and the paperwork was being sorted.

 

He also said that Edwards was a bald cunt and he wants to fight him. Make of that what you will.

Don’t think it’s that, we seemingly have valuations of players and we won’t go beyond that. 

Who thinks Pedro is worth more than 30M? There is a reason no one else is interested.  He's a project that doesn't score.  I would be happy with the 25m +5m add ons but paying above that seems crazy when we need more than one signing.

I've never been one for watching boxing, UFC etc. It's always seemed strange that people would watch a sport where the aim is to inflict physical damage.......but that I would pay good money to watch.

It's the thrill and the agony. What's on the line for both guys is more than a win or loss.

 

MMA is the fastest growing sport, simply because its bloody exciting how unpredictable it is.

Been out for the evening, what's the latest state of play?

 

Is Luke ' the takeover is dead, Staveley is a chancer' Edwards saying that the Pedro deal isn't happening?

 

He's just a fool trying to remain relevant now that all of his sources have dried up.

why is boxing called the "sweet science"? Anyone who can answer without searching can be my friend for a day.

 

I thought it's just that it's very methodical and thought out, you face each other and probe, pick out patterns, lay traps etc. It comes down to quite simple movements but drilled over and over to be expertly done.

Because the combinatiom of blood and sweat has a sweetness taste. Science, because of all those neurological X-rays whenever any boxer is poleaxed. Can I be your friend now? Please be my fwend..?

Brains are often incorrectly conflated with another offal: sweetbreads. That’s led to the incorrect assumption that brains are sweet. Determining exactly how much brain has been killed in any bout necessarily involves science. Thus: sweet science. Here we go!
