Although I'm sure posted tongue-in-cheek, middle-aged? He's 70 in August. Besides, he has already been replaced with, guess what? A middle aged white man in Sam "I'll bore on about anything for hours" Matterface. It is a shame though. He's not necessarily my cup of tea, but he's eons ahead of...

I agree. I also suspect that, despite there being an element of Boehly copying our homework again, this is a Maresca-driven move

To be clear, I know that the details aren't likely to be 100%, I know these sites aren't trustworthy. I'm not a reporter for a major newspaper, or an investigative journalist, or a DULLARD, I'm just a bloke on a forum saying that these players leaving releases a lot of wages. Where you go from...

The Lallana one was from about 3 different sites that record player wages, as were all the others. The point is, it's a substantial amount off the wage bill.

Given Lallana (90,000 p/w) has gone, if Dahoud (55,000 p/w) goes, along with Gross (65,000 p/w) and Undav (25,000 p/w), then that releases £13m per year from our wage bill. £20m given Fati has gone now too. That's nearly £400k p/w in wages available within the current budget - A sizeable amount...

The thing is, he still doesn't fit the mold RDZ allegedly wanted. He's not in the mid-twenties age bracket and doesn't have proven top level, European experience. Yilmaz and Dewsbury-Hall, on the other hand... both bang in their mid-twenties and likely to command a hefty fee. I wonder if RDZ...

"Outstanding"? Come on. He's been "fine" in a midfield that has no shape or focus. He's at the base of a midfield that has rotated players around him constantly whilst at the same time being both totally empty and overcrowded. Rice certainly isn't the problem, neither is the defence IMO. It's...

No, it's like a football player or manager putting a bet on relegation because they have influence over their performance. A fan betting on their team getting relegated in like a constituent betting on their MP losing their seat, not the MP betting on themselves to lose

I see we're through the "build them up and hype them" stage now, and safely into the "Knock 'em, down and kick the crap out of them" stage with Bellingham. Quicker than usual, given that he's not even 21 yet.

That and, I assume, Leicester needed to ease their PSR concerns with only 6 days until the deadline to sell

The thing is, Brexit is a vote loser for Starmer right now. Personally I want him to be more pro-rejoin, but at the moment he needs centre-right moderates to deliver the majority he wants. For now, the status quo on Brexit isn't the main election issue. My hope is, after a couple of years of...

I have no problem at all with immigration into the UK at all. Some of the best people I've met have been what you'd term as economic immigrants, and we've all seen the impact that destroying our immigration system through Brexit has had a hugely negative effect in so many sector that rely on...

"I've only been able to buy blue 1970's Skodas because my budget was quite small and it was the best I can afford. Now I'm a millionaire and I'm wary about buying a blue Bentley because those Skodas were rubbish"

This is tough, but I'm going with Hughton. He managed to turn a totally dire team that could and maybe should have been relegated into one of the most exciting teams in the Championship (two years in a row) and keeping a team in the Premier League for two years on a comparatively shoe-string...

I don't really share the fears around signing players from the Eredivisie to be honest. Both Locadia and Jahanbakhsh were attckers that were signed for a team that, under Hughton, didn't attack. Their stats were always going to fail to translate in a 9-men-behind-the-ball team and Glenn Murray...

I'm in this bracket and use Samsung health to track my steps, walking, running etc. I also intermittently use the NHS Weight Loss app to calorie count if my weight gets up to a certain level. I'm one of those people who thinks they don't eat or snack much but actually, in the context of 2,500...

I came here to say the same thing. First controversial decision and it's the PL refs

Agreed. VAR has worked how we all hoped it would work: quietly, quickly and behind the scenes and the refereeing standards have been excellence. I'd also add that player behaviour has been vastly improved too. Very little dissent or play acting.

I agree. The squad is fine, but I do wish he'd use it more. The last two games have been crying out for width on the left and Gordon hasn't got a minute of game time. TAA isn't a midfielder, he never has been. Why bother taking Gallagher, Mainoo and Wharton who actually play in that position if...

I should hope there's an England DNA. Dan Ashworth has secured three massive, money-spinning jobs off the back of creating it. The England DNA has paid for his 250-acre garden that he loves oh-so-dearly so there'd better be DNA in there somewhere.
