Why do you think Welbeck was a panic deal?

And this is where release clauses can help the selling club. They know that we know that if we offer the release clause they have to accept it. So why accept anything less when there are still several days of the window left?

Thought they were getting Harry Kane, didn't. Thought they were getting Cristiano Ronaldo, didn't. Mendy arrested. Pep says he's leaving in 2023. Still time to pull a Haaland or Mbappe out of the fire I guess :lolol:

I'm going to make a bigger one :p

Mad that one of our players almost died during surgery and none of us knew about it!

101 goals in 134 games for Juve. Rubbish!

Flamboyant is a very kind way of describing it!

Not the most exciting is it. Mwepu was done and dusted very quickly, no real build up or fanfare for someone who could turn out to be brilliant for us. Scherpen and Kitoma would have been exciting in other years but all rather matter of fact this one. I'm glad there wasn't a prolonged saga with...

The only public information I can think of is the frequent speeding violations which could result in him losing his license https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theargus.co.uk/news/19179488.amp/ This kind of thing would be higher profile if at a 'big' club, which I suppose could make them think...

Aston Villa told to complete ‘perfect’ Yves Bissouma transfer Shit, worried now :nono:

Yeah, thats kind of my overall point - an extension raises his value to levels potentially too expensive for his desired destination. But if he was interested in a move this summer he's gone a funny way about it, no substantive rumours at all. I just think the club was negotiating quite hard as...

The Hundred has a lot of good about it, and it makes sense to have a reduced number of teams. But why can't they group grounds together to ensure the benefits are shared. The Southern Brave is clearly meant to be 'our team', with several Sussex players, and I found myself supporting it in the...

Its just weird when you watch the excellent T20 side, full of players that don't turn out for the CC side. A bit like watching Yorkshire playing an away home match without Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan because the schedulers think it makes sense to schedule important quarter-final...

When you're third or fourth choice for a team that generally plays one striker, its a lot of bench-warming. I'm happy we have a club that prioritises development - I think its worthwhile sacrificing the odd goal off the bench this year for potentially an excellent striker in a year or two

Yep, I agree. Thats the sensible move from the club, and although we presumably hate release clauses, the player in this case has a strong hand. Even if the release clause isn't 50-100m, it at least prevents us losing him for nothing. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't an extended contract...

When contracts run down the transfer fee of players inevitably lose value, regardless of who the owner is. If its 30m next summer or £0 the year after, we'll take the 30. What are the alternatives? Force through a sale now or in January, but if he doesn't want to go to one of the few clubs...

Disappointed that Lallana and Trossaed don't have it in their locker. Mac Allister looks for all the world like he should be able to curl one in. I reckon Connolly would be great at it but he'll be down the pecking order. But if none of them can let's go back to March. This wellying it at the...

I do... He's certainly ambitious... He would certainly be of interest to clubs like Liverpool.... If he wanted to move there he could certainly engineer a move with only two years left on contract... They're would certainly be paper talk and rumours of moves even if they didn't come to...

Scoring in games against Palace in general... David Lopez, McShane, Izquierdo... Anyone not called Glenn... Hopefully it's just the curse of Glenn and now he's retired Messrs Mac Allister and Veltman don't have to worry.

It is quite rubbish, I will grant you that. :p
