I avoid paying for anything Disney, nothing to do with Israel, I find them to be an unethical business, harsh on its own staff, and happy to destroy other businesses to make a quid. It won't make a significant difference to Disney, but it makes a difference to me.

Football managers are reknowned for throwing drinking vessels around in dressing rooms. Used to be tea cups, now it's poncy mineral water bottles.

I think so too, just not sure PBOBE does. Maybe at £3M PB wouldn't sell either, but I don't think it would take a lot more, unless Fab Hurzeler made big objections.

I think it's you that has misunderstood me then. It doesn't matter how long Pascal has been here, he has a cash value today that will evaporate over the next 12 months. I value Gross, and want him to stay until he can't play anymore. I worry that Barber would rather sell this window, than lose...

I am willing to try and understand, if you are willing to try and explain where I have missed your point.

So, what happens if/when we can't agree a compensation figure with St.Pauli? Does he come anyway and a court decides what they are owed for breach of contract, or does he stay there and we pivot to Rydstrom?

Garcia

holybanjo playing the offended liver sausage on this thread is quite funny.

Not sure we would pay £6M plus wages for a player that would leave for free in 12 months. Ansu Fati on loan would be fairly equivalent to having done that, and we got burnt. I think that was all De Zerbi demanding and Barber trying to keep him happy, it won't happen again.

That's what I think too, not sure Barber does though, maybe it will take £5M, or more, but there is a number at which we will sell, and the number gets smaller when the alternative is leaving for free 38 games later, or less if he gets injured.

I hope you are right and we try to extend his contract, but we have sold players before when approaching the end of their contract, if they are indicating they are not going to extend. As Pascal has said he would like to finish in Germany, it seems likely he won't, I believe he would be happy to...

One a season would be an improvement for Billy.

You think Barber would prefer to let him go next year for free, over £XM this window? You might be right, but it isn't silly to think otherwise, it's his job to maximise returns. You say yourself if a good offer comes he will go, I say you are right, because Barber will want the money that won't...

Saw two Families playing rounders in the park yesterday.

Barber is going to be thinking we can get a few quid for him if we sell this window, especially if he does that sort of thing in the tournament. We really need him next season though, Hinshelwood needs to study him, and Hurzeler needs his intelligence and leadership on the pitch. Play well and...

It's easy to get over excited because he isn't Potter too.

Never before have we had a manager whose name has been misspelt in so many different ways, before we have even announced him. Welcome Fabrizio Heurtzeiler

American, Swiss, Kraut, so he has a bit of both sides and neutral, could not be more representative and woke.

It is the manner of the departure that gets people a bit passed off, Cucurella and Caicedo tried to force their moves through, and that can affect the transfer value. Mac Allister, Bissouma etc didn't and retain our respect. I have no issue with Garcia, De Zerbi, or other managers that decided...

There is a quicker work visa if you pay a bit more, can be done in 5 days.
