Why? the player and his agent will find the club that they want. We have to decide whether we are keeping an unhappy player or taking the best deal we can get. Mads fee has already shown our weakness in the market to clubs. Whilst there is a RC we can say ‘that’s the clause, pay it’. Once it’s gone the only bottom we can effectively enforce is his psr value. If he goes after the weekend then I’d expect a fee around. £22/24m inc add ons our experience in keeping unhappy players isn’t great. They generally don’t try as hard as we need them to.

It’s complicated and presumably we’ll find out when the court rules whether govt have overstepped. You’d expect this to go all the way to the Supreme Court if they find in favour of the state

I don’t disagree re Hutchison but BEK will be considerably cheaper after Friday his price will drop by at least 5m there will be no bidding war - these no longer exists. Agents and buying clubs arrange a deal. The selling club gets as much as they can within that context.

Barnes was £35. .?

Winks was still the tempo player in that game. Ricky is a wonderful player but he isn’t a tempo cdm. I always feel Ricky is at his best coming onto the ball and able to drive forwards with it. coming into midfield as an inverting full back saw him better than when he was already there needing to be aware of what’s around him from a standing start.

A Cdm tempo player is a very specific role that players learn over years you can’t just stick someone in there and ask them to do it anyone can just occupy the space and be a cdm - that’s not what winks does. wilf was a cdm - but he couldn’t dictate the tempo of a game.

Can’t see them paying 30m if I were them I’d be saying to rudders ’no one is paying his release c,ause - the kid wants to come here - if you don’t take our £22m now then you’ll end up selling him for perhaps less close to the end of the window - you’ll not keep an unhappy player and you need the dosh’.

Maybe timed to be the day before the PL starts (or more likely what ric said)

That depends who you’re asking

He’s moving in with Wayne ?

internal hams docs - yes could be gerrymandered of course there is some photo evidence - seems quite paly with the higher echelons. Maybe Sinwar was just the type of bloke who did this with local journos ….

Newcastle interest created by Lcfc to try and force interested clubs to pay the RC pre 15th????? (Apols to @CL Fox - Percy does say it’s 30m)

We surely haven’t missed this kid for the sake of 4m if we’ve passed on him then it’s for other reasons maybe the kbet sponsorship hole means we don’t have the budget 😉

Hutchinson has English tax applied to him no one has paid 22m for him yet because they are probably thinking we might accept less once the RC has expired and the player makes it clear he wants out. his psr value is lower than 22m. Whilst we expect to make some profit towards psr, it may not work out like that.

It’s ok - we’ll be able to afford to get BDCR back from the airport on a serious note, we don’t get more than £25m max for him if someone really does want him. I’d have thought anyone would be better waiting until January to see how he goes post injury.

you’ve managed to set the narrative at £30m on the RC it’s been reported as being as low as £22m when we receive 22m, the club will be slaughtered for not getting £30m!

Cue three pages of puns etc

FWIW, I think that those court cases should have been heard before govt took a decision BUT I also want to trust that my govt take security decisions based on evidence that they have. (And that may not be permitted to be shared re sub judice). I can also see that proscription could also be said to affect the outcome of the trial if you want to go down that route.

Var would have overturned our first goal - 100%. Winks was nuts trying to play the ball when he knew he was offside. but it’s what it is - no var and you’ll win some and lose some through the campaign. Im pretty sure bannon was booked for dissent when fats was fouled.

A lot of plaudits for winks and the opposite for skipp. we changed shape at half time yesterday which improved us massively. I won’t accept that skipp can’t play winks’ role in that second half. He may not quite be as good at it but he did it for spurs. You wouldn’t usually take off a player at HT if you’re changing the formation unless that player can’t play that role. Were there any questions in the presser as to why skipp was substituted? Was it based on him just not being ‘at it’ or did he pick up a knock?

He’s been given the job of finding a sponsor

it’s all falling into place get your plans in !

If you suggest 50% social housing as part of the project then I can guarantee it will go through

Two reports on the same incident in 2024 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y7z8ye154o?app-referrer=deep-link and https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/palestine-action-protest-israel-elbit-old-bailey-b1198510.html PA may look like their approach is compliant protest as per the scene in parliament square on Saturday but the violent attacks on security guards and policemen just doing their jobs and the more recent RAF base incident shows a different side. My question was also why people have to align to a particular group that’s currently proscribed when there are other groups available under which to make their protest and who are protesting every weekend?? You’re saying that this is now also a protest about free speech. I understand that but this is now in the courts and will be adjudicated on within a couple months. It’s not like anyone is being denied the right to protest support for Ptine or against some govt policy - just under that particular banner. my ISIS question was, I agree, skewed. My point being that are you able to decide which proscribed organisations are acceptable and which aren’t? that’s not how the law works. I’d also point out that govt will have more access to information about these organisations than we do.

again, people are killed for the company they keep. It’s morally very questionable but it’s legal in war if the killing can be militarily justified. The specific journalist you are referring to is, with written evidence provided to the media yesterday (Bowen not convinced ), a member of Hams - and not just a foot soldier. This is also a failure of intel because he had previously been detained in the early stages of the war and released. Bowen is safe whilst he isn’t in a war zone - any journalist who enters a war zone will be in danger.
