Definitely a good player and I'm sure he'll do well at the Arse, but £105m - no way. Yes, its what they were prepared to pay but like others have said, I've never panicked as an Albion fan when Rice was playing for West Sham. For me, figures such as this for just 1 player puts a hell of a lot...

£1billion (all in cash up front) and a 90% sell on clause. I could live with that.

Of course it's largely money driven, I agree. This theory of Champions League being the holy grail I don't think has the pull some people think it does. You may only play 6 matches in the Champions League and then crash out so there's no guarantees, and only 1 club can ever win it per season...

He's clearly a talent but his wallpaper music is just not my thing. I was tuned into the other stage last night.

This. Absolutely brilliant and no wallpaper music in sight.

This. I know he can play but christ he looks half dead.

Great mullet - a bird just flew off Elton's wig!

War on Drugs tonight!

The reason we haven't heard much from Chelsea re Caicedo is because they need any new expenditure (or the vast majority of it) to be done after June 30th so it goes on next years accounts. Expect a bit more action from 1st July on that one.

Looking forward to The War on Drugs tomorrow. Saw them in Brighton last and they were really impressive.

Very little of yesterday yet on i-player. Anyone know when most of the stuff is made available?

I see Putin has now left Moscow to a supposed safer location. Is this the beginning of the end?

No. I love a summer break.

Yes. Rochdale have enquired about taking him back on loan.

Its been reported this will make the Albion about £10m for the 3 games and as others have said raises our profile around the world, plus gives us a good standard of pre-season games.

The powers that be that run the game though essentially have NO powers. They talk the big talk about FFP but how many Prem clubs have really fallen foul of the authorities? It's all just lip service and I can sadly see a day when the whole of the Prem is owned by the Saudi's and there will be...
