Soi, it turns out that you could have got FOUR Billy Gilmours for your £50m today, and still had over £5m change to keep them all in deep-fried pizza for the rest of their lives.
2 Scott Mc'Tominays plus plenty of change

Not getting sold for £50m is one thing, my main concern right now is promising to make a seagull tattoo if he was sold for less than £12m.

How does this work in England @El Presidente, do the clubs need to report the exact fee at one time or another?

different type of player, but I guess we all agree that as good a player as Caicedo is, he was never really worth 115m....... was great we had Liverpool and clueless tool Boehly both bidding against each other.

People defend Gilmour’s paucity of goals/assists by saying he’s a defensive midfielder. I don’t see that myself. But going with that theory, Caicedo’s defensive numbers for us were markedly superior.

It was patently obvious to those who go to games. From the very first minute Caicedo was a destroyer, also adding pace and quickening our transitions.

I can understand the meltdown.

This only leaves us with Weiffer, Beleba, Milner, O'Riley, Moder, Ayari, Gruda and Hinshelwood to fill those 2 spots in CM.
I get the irony, but being realistic, Moder and Ayari aint good enough to play first choice, Hinshelwood hasnt got the physicality to play the DCM role however good his passing may be, Milner is slow and nearing the curtain call of his career, O'Riley is crocked for 3 months...... which leaves Gruda as an unknown if hes yet adapated to the rigours of PL, so just Wieffer and Baleba!

Similar angst here.

When picking up Mrs Bozza on her way home from work I'll ask where she wants me to meet her. Often the response would be BGR, short for Billy Gilmour's Road.

What the hell are we going to refer to it as now?
