We need a salary cap and transfer fee cap NOW. Money is destroying football. The very same Guardian sports section which broke this news had a headline ‘Brighton victims of their own success’. In other words, even the supposedly ‘enlightened’ football world thinks it is ‘inevitable’ that we...

At least there's the 'money' argument when it happens at the Albion. Why do Sussex let established players go for no reason?

Funny thing is the Standard Liege mob are called Ultras Inferno so I'd have thought they would have liked him :)

I cycle about 80 miles a week and drive about 10,000 miles a year so see it from both sides. There are absolute idiots in both camps - drivers who see it as a personal affront that i am on a bicycle and cyclists who go through red lights, behave like entitled prats and don't actually think...

Absolutely correct. And this is precisely why I was so astonished and disappointed when Potter left, because it was obvious that his unique qualities - the ability to mould an egalitarian team of level headed players subordinate to his vision - would be the polar opposite of what would be...

As the window shuts I’d like to thank Bloom, Barber & Co for refusing to be bullied by PL ‘Top 6’ agent/journalist stooges and media re Caicedo. Another highlight in our amazing story. Archer forced out, Hereford, Withdean secured, Falmer secured, PL reached, Top 6 defied. Doing it our way...

In his place, in his time, an absolute legend for me. Unstinting, brave, gave his all. Good luck...

Loads of Liverpool fans apologising for the clogging donkey and (as previously when we have beaten them/played well) been complimentary about us in contrast to the majority of other 'Top 6' fans. More time for them than all the others put together. Big soft spot for Spirit of Shankly/Anfield...

The longer we keep Caicedo, the longer we'll keep De Zerbi. And I don't think Caicedo has ever said he wants to leave. His agent has.

No. There is another alternative. A new 'branding' if I can bear to use that ghastly terminology. We're now no longer just an anonymous 'small club' but a phenomenally well run, increasingly popular club with an ever-growing global fanbase, based in one of the most well known holiday...

Brilliant game today. Repeat result for us tomorrow please.

I would actually trust the Daily Mail more than that bloke

The ‘succession planning’ is working fine - as long as we keep players at essential moments. This is a pivotal one. Keep him till June and we send a message we are serious contenders. Sell him now, with a chance of Top Six, and we send a message that we are a feeder club.

this.

There is literally no point in him moving now. He's part of a team that's playing brilliantly, and the likelihood is we'll finish above Chelsea. I would be flabbergasted if Barber/Bloom let him go in this window - and very disappointed too, with the dream of a first European qualification so...

I think he'll make huge strides under Liam Rosenior, who guided him through the best period of his career so far, and the Hull fans I know are well impressed with him. Prepare to be surprised, folks. (Not that surprised: he's a top half Championship striker I'd say.)

There will be bigger Clubs, There will always be bigger clubs, historically, but not always better teams

Yes, I know he’s Flemish, I made that point and the ‘blemish’ link on my FB version but thought it was too much pedantry for NSC. Greetings from Loughborough. Looking forward to tomorrow.,

Ooh, there we go again

ANOTHER ONE GONE You had an agent who was talking shite, a common plight, Leandro He just cared about the transfer fee, quite obviously, Leandro Since you didn’t sign for the Blues, there’s no regrets And you’ll be able to speak lots of French while on the bench, Leandro.
