The Times have been saying this since last week.

Come on. It literally has 0 followers. Was it worth starting another transfer thread?

I think you'll find that Elton is being operate by Gerry Anderson.

And I dug out the Lewis Capaldi set. The crowd finishing the song for him reduced me to tears. Poor lad, and well done Glasto.

Thought Cat Burns was fantastic. Moving little song about being a people pleaser. I'm a 58 year old, but I could completely relate to the 22 year old songwriter. Power of music!!

Maybe, yes

Less perhaps, not minimal. We're dealing with people and trading in potential, not absolutes.

Or by his wife. We think these players make the decisions, or perhaps the agents, but in my experience of employing a lot of people, the wife/partner has a huge say in when someone decides to leave a job and where they end up.

And the third factor now (on top of transfer fee and salary), length of contract. Wealthy (I hesitate to say big) clubs are now offering big salaries on very long contracts. This gives players enormous security - on huge wages - in what was traditionally regarded as a volatile profession...

I've never been to Glastonbury. So question for regulars, do all those flags and people sitting on others shoulders get in the way? I think that would seriously piss me off.

I'm sure this has been covered, but I'm not sure your annual income directly correlates to how "rich" you are. I tend to equate "rich" with assets (which can come as a result of excess income" I tend to think of someone with a large annual income as wealthy. What is "wealthy"? It depends on...

I'm slightly lost about all this Saudi money. They seem to be buying a LOT of Chelsea players for big fees. I assume this is entirely to help them reduce their wage bill and keep them within FFP this year and generate funds for buying new players after the end of this month, when the new FFP...

Whatever the rights and wrongs of this, given that there are five human beings who could be suffocating to death as you "banter", I feel like this thread has become rather distasteful.

Can't see crippled Alice in that list. Can't be right.

Whatever happens, Khawaja has had a great game. Old school test batsman.

How many English summers watching cricket could that be!! Feels very familiar, whatever the ground.

A sell on is typically on the revenue over the original fee. So if Cucurella was sold for £30m, we get nothing.

He was good in that game

No. But we would have asked the club the player is registered with if we could have the discussion, wouldn't we? Thems the rules. I know that's naive and not the way it works.
