You could be right. I was just going off the fact that it was reported yesterday that Moder had rejected the move, which implies the club didn't mind either way. I imagine everyone else was going off the same thing.

So with Dahoud gone, and the fact that Moder was offered to Everton on loan, we're actually lighter in CMs than we were on New Year's Day. I can see the logic behind not signing any wingers or AMs given the players we're expecting back in the next couple of weeks (it would have been nice to get...

WTF? Am I having a stroke? Edit: Turns out it's a quote from Palace's new signing. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/01/adam-wharton-seals-185m-move-to-crystal-palace-from-blackburn Starting to think people should need to pass some kind of simple test before being allowed to post...

Tbf didn't Ansu Fati need persuading to come on loan to us too? IIRC De Zerbi had to convince him personally. Given how many AMs and wingers we're expecting back from injury and internationals in the coming weeks, I don't think it's too out of order for him to want to know how the manager...

Sorry, I'm gonna bore everyone now - but as a word nerd, I can't help myself. This idea that -ize spellings are exclusively American is untrue. Both the -ize and -ise are acceptable in British English, and the -ize spellings were actually more common until relatively recently (from memory, I...

Yesterday's game was horrible. I don't think anyone can deny that we were just awful. One of the worst performances I've seen from a Brighton side since we came up. Even in the 6-1 against Villa, we looked better than yesterday (imo) despite the worse scoreline. But I said at the start of the...

This is RDZ playing 5-D chess and trying to squeeze some signings out of Uncle Tony tomorrow by showcasing all our shortcomings. I refuse to believe anything else.

I remember our successful and highly regarded manager leaving us for the assistant job there. That was a depressing way to be put in our (then) place.

I've been told by someone I've never known to be wrong about Liverpool that I can pet my house on Pep Lijnders to get the job. Apparently he's Klopp's anointed one (although I guess that doesn't necessarily mean the Liverpool board will go along with it)

Crikey, that's a blast from the past. I just checked German eBay (I'm in the EU) and there are a few on there for around 250 euros each. If you know anyone who is a frequent traveller between Germany and the UK, it might be worth asking them. Or you could take your chances with post-Brexit...

TBH I feel less bothered by the prospect of Potter at Palace than I do by the thought that he might give Bruno a role there. That would sting more, for me at least.

Barco to Brighton is arguably one of the bigger stories of the window so far, which is crazy considering he's 19, might be loaned out, and the fee was $10m. Definitely a quieter window than we've grown to expect. At least, so far.

This is such a nothing story. Of course Chelsea are monitoring Ferguson. I expect all of the "big six" (ugh) plus Newcastle are monitoring him, as well as some of the biggest overseas clubs. Until someone puts some money on the table - which ain't happening this month - this is just chip wrapping.

He got us to the quarter finals of every single tournament he was in charge for, didn't he? Certainly a lot better than McClaren, Capello, or Hodgson managed after him.

Am I the only person who heard that the reason the move to us collapsed is that his agent had spoken to Chelsea, then came back to us demanding a release clause of a specific value - so the suspicion was that Chelsea had told them to do that (demand the clause and set the value)? I've seen...

Maybe? I mean, City's plan was apparently to loan him to Leicester, who are looking good for promotion from the Championship. Obviously that's a level below us, but only one level. And it's the very top end of that level. I don't think this is one of those "he needs two years of loans before...

I totally agree with the earlier posts pointing out that there are all sorts of ways to define and decide this that each lead to different "winners". But I'm still pretty shocked that we've got to a second page with nobody mentioning Zamora. He gave us our pride back.

My mate sent me a couple of links from Greek media but I can't understand a word (it's all Greek to me). https://www.gazzetta.gr/football/superleague/2290695/paok-metagrafes-etoimazei-protasi-gia-ton-konstantelia-i-mpraiton...

Sorry Welbz, but it's gotta be Pervis.

Can't find a great English-language source on this, but I was alerted to the news by a PAOK-supporting mate who heard about it via Greek media. Searched for a thread on here with no results, hence making a new one...
