Yes. But they would still understand £10m to be massively more (better). The driver is money, so a bigger number is better. And the gap between 2 and 10 really is petty huge. I'd change jobs in a heartbeat for a 5x salary increase and a long contract.

No one is underestimating them. They will be pumped up and first games for new clubs can generate unexpected results, even against the best. But I suspect their perception of Brighton is a little out of date. Their chairman was referencing the last time they played us in the top tier (40 years...

I don't disagree about the parasitic agents. How could I? But the difference between earning £2m a year and say £10m for a guaranteed 5 years is vast. And coming from poverty, as he so recently did, gives you a different lens to a football fan who sees it all as hypothetical "monopoly money"...

No. But this is what their Chairman said about their first fixture of the season to Sky "(the game against Brighton is) Relatively kind I think, it could have been much worse". It could have been worse (Man City) but much worse? Cheeky.

He could earn £10m to £12m a year for five years. That sets him, his family and all his friends up for ever. Why would he turn that down, even at the age of 21? Maybe he could develop a bit more by staying here. Maybe he'd get European football elsewhere, but he's made it from a financial...

I thought Chelsea were having to balance the FFP books? Surely they aren't spending anywhere like that money on one player?

I remember studying stats at uni and an example used was some 1970s quant research carried out in the States about penis size. Thousands of male uni students were asked the size of their erect member. The average was about 7 inches. At the same time, they surveyed female students who were in...

Not disagreeing with you, but by whom? This could be the result of a rumour started by someone putting 2 and 2 together. Has anyone credible mentioned this? In which case, if not, that doesn't support your argument. I agree that if there are players RdZ likes, they will be on the table...

£88m Jude Bellingham?

Have we? I recall Kozlowski, Enciso, Bissouma, Ali Mac all young players costing serious wedge.

Not sue that's right. I don't think RdZ identifies targets. But he definitely gets to say if he wants the ones the team heave identified. He might add new intelligence to the assessment through his own experience of managing a player or having seen them play but he's not spotting talent in the...

Enough now. Kick this plank out. This is just bad behavior now and it's detracting from our board.

Neither have any of the midfielders we might yet but.

To draw in the attacker and create a space. Yes.

Not sure I agree. Robbie Reinelt must be a legend, and he only played 44 games for the Albion. Hans Kraay only appeared 23 times. In my eyes, both are legends. Not greats - far from it. But definitely legends for very different reasons. I don't think legend and great are on the same continuum.

I'd argue that Hans Kraay is a legend. No long service, no special talent, but legendary status. Johnny Crumplin is another. Neither are hearts of the club but both are legends. Stories are told. There are also greats of the club. Outstanding players. Then there is a very rare group who are...

An Albion Great? Yes. An Albion Legend? No Don't ask me to define the difference, but being very very good is not the only criterion for legend status.

Ah. I was wrong about you. Your post earlier made me thing you were a bit of a tool. Now I realise you're actually a patronising tool lacking in self-awareness.

So did Billy Gilmour, and by the end of this season people were raving about him.
