The Turkish journo leading on the Ferdi story is sharing the Barco news this morning presumably because its a sign that his reporting on Kadioglu is correct. "Fabian Hürzeler approved the departure of left-back Valentin Barco from the team and asked for the incoming offers to be evaluated."
We're not far now (don't be put off by other nonsense sources . )
Clubs have made "significant progress" says reliable Turkish source who has made the running here...
If we were relegated i still think attendances would hold up. They would have to be careful about pricing etc - but Attendances are strong throughout football and relegated clubs in the Champ have held up pretty well in recent years - Norwich, Southampton , Leeds.
Our crowds in the Champ - on...
Its sold out. All the £55 tickets have gone. The remaining tickets are now on the Exchange are presumably cos ST holders are on holiday and/or happy to watch on TV, can't make a 1230 KO and hence want a refund. (and also Cat A so no cheap) . THat said - there's no signs at all that demand for...
@maltaseagull - Everton attendance. It was 39572.
The place i found it was on NSC !

Albion's capacity is now 31,876 - it ticked up a few seasons ago from 30,600 when TB pushed the (cheaper) seats together and filled in some of the gaps.
The record attendance i think (or rather tickets sold) is now 31,752 v Liverpool last season and tickets sold/attendances bumped around 31.600...
We’re as ever overplaying the now and underplaying the past. Hence the giddiness. Recency bias ha ha
We’ve so far bought 4 first team players this window. A tad more expensive than in previous windows fitting the market but TB has more ££ I guess. All of whom are still young tho with limited...
Ha ! Palace had one playing up front yesterday. He's appeared 94 times for them and scored nearly 18 goals . Not to my taste and i doubt there will be many votes on here given what happened but there's no denying Palace have valued him for a while now. Thats the same 1 in 5 or so ratio as...
The best player in a Premier League match i watched yesterday was a young England midfielder who , until he was signed, spent most of last season playing football in the Championship and on the losing side v. the likes of Plymouth, Coventry and Huddersfield.
So all the pearl clutching cos...
What Brighton Bubble left off that curated /translated tweet - which was by a Turkish reporter 24 hours ago and then confirmed by Romano earlier today was... (ie: all done . fee still needs to be agreed. Obviously Brighton won't wait forever as the window as about to shut)
"Ferdi Kadıoğlu wants...
We have this type of turnover of players every summer.
Before 22/23 - we had Colwill, Enciso, Estupinan, Gilmour, Mitoma, and Undav. (and Ferguson started to become part of the squad)
Last season we had Verbruggen, Ansu Fati, Dahoud, Adingra, Pedro, Igor and Baleba (and Hinshelwood joined squad)...
Good grief. YES.
Our next 7 games - 5 are at home. And YES. that is unusual.
(Chelsea and Arsenal A) and
Man Utd , Crawley, Nottm Forest, Ipswich and Spurs.
Andy Naylor's career as an Albion correspondent is now older than Fabian Hurzeler !! All credit to him for continuing to report and write about the Albion now for a company owned by the New York Times. Who'd have thought it.
And NSC posters pointing out where he's been going wrong or man...
This is dragging on but nothing much seems to have changed except , we want him, he wants to come, contract is agreed, they want to sell but. Its just a case of the fee being agreed and they are presumably angling for as much as possible. . Sounds like that's close - Albion will want to wrap...
