Both of us were in the top ten European net spends in Europe on Transfers last summer. We reportedly spent the eighth largest with 49.4m (slightly more than Liverpool), whilst Huddersfield were two places below with a spend of 43.9m.
Draw today for them, please. Purely as I want those beneath us in the table to drop points until we are mathematically safe.
Out of two though, would prefer West Ham to go down, horrible owners at what is quickly becoming an equally horrible club.
That fast food vendor we see on away days at both Cobham and Oxford Service Stations called Tossed would be ideal for them. Primarily as their stadium will be full of tossers.
Our amount of home grown players could definitely do with a boost given that Sidwell and Rosenior are unlikely to both be in the 25 man squad next season. Wouldn't be surprised of we were still monitoring Dack, but think Nick Powell would figure much higher up on our list.
Hard not to be surprised that he went to West Brom last summer. If it wasn't for his poor injury record whilst at Arsenal he'll have instead gone to a top 7-8 side, club like Everton would be perfect for him.
We have 2 players again in Garth Crooks team of the week (Ryan and Izquierdo).
"Brighton now look odds-on to stay up. However, I hope they don't just become perennial survivors. It's a great place to go and watch a football match. On the odd occasion I do go, I notice their fans are capable of...
I hope we're slowly seeing a change in that. Jadon Sancho left in the summer and signed for Dortmund because he couldn't see a way to break into the fist team. A few English players have also headed to RB Leipzig. Ademola Lookman turned down Derby to go there on loan for the rest of season...
TBH I'm finding it very hard to have any sympathy for the West Ham fans and their current campaign. The fans wanted a new stadium and what they got was a heavily subsidised, long term deal for the Olympic Stadium. They moan about money not being spent on brining players in but decent outlays...
Nor do I. They're not one of the clubs you would assume would be near the top of any list. Sun and Mail are reporting it as a Chinese group with talks are apparently at an advanced stage, and BBC said that any deal would also need their approval before it could be signed off...
They're top of League One and very near to being taken over by Chinese investors. Think it'll take a big bid before they would even consider letting him go.
