Yes but if they don’t have to pay gala a fee then they may be able to pay him a very high salary in lieu of no fee. Gala will be happy to get him off their books.

Then we’re screwed cos Percy said he’s having his medical today strange that cooper said we’re further away from deals than we were last week and then it’s reported that ayew is having a medical ??

He’s currently on talkSPORT so that makes sense!

Perhaps rudders didn’t understand he only needed to get one player from the list ……….

Sadly it’s just another reflection of poor journalism - this time at the beeb. I’m afraid that standards are dropping and we have to get used to it

If we want this fella then we’ll go to the wire to extract the best deal from Chelsea who will be desperate come next Friday

Probably something we had to agree with Atalanta at some point to stop them sending congerton back here ….. ’yeah - we promise to buy some dead wood off you for £12m’

We’ve not been a physically imposing side for many years - even the winning PL side only had proper height in the CB’s always watched the teams shaking hands before kick off and most games looked like the U16 v U21 !

It’s possible (unlikely) that we’ve offered him a salary of 35k and he’s currently on 60k so we’re paying palace 1.25m extra on the fee for them to pay him his missing salary for the year left on his contract

Double it I saw an article on Chelsea where it stated that the average PL wage is £72k Of course the rich six pay lots of their players way more than that but there are 14 other clubs to bring that average down. Reckon the average in the other 14 is around 55/60k.

He’ll be jogging ……

Have we made peace with West Ham’s ownership yet ?

Seriously! has this already been pointed out ? deal as good as done

Officially - you’re right I’d assume that his parents would already be bombarded with requests (and promises )

Presumably they know what direction the wind will be blowing ahead of being anchored so can anchor into the wind. the issue with this was they were struck by a waterspout which is a tornado so winds are from all directions !

38m …….

We could loan them our sporting director too ……

Spain ….. they are in the champions league and are part of the (Man) City group

Word on here was that Sammi is going out on loan this season. I agree re alves but when you have 20+ first team squad members and can only name 18 there will always be some who miss out. I guess it’s either him or Casey who get named. Will Casey now get a loan to a championship club after his new contract was signed ??

Should say that both Ricky and JJ do actually have a left foot (they trust) able to take the ball which trippier doesn’t seem to. Ricky also is happy to cross with his left on the run. JJ less happy to do that. A two footed full back is clearly the best option which is why prime Ricky was so good. If cooper can continue to get into VK’s head about him being good enough and to try to cut out his lapses on concentration then we’re not so desperate for a left back in the market although having three full backs may not be enough to cover the whole season.

If he’s tactically/ mentally able then maybe although we’d probably need to wait for him to turn 16.

I’m sure that there were a few scouts there last night wanting to see how monga got on against senior pros. They would have been reassured. His immediate future at our club will be dictated by his parents and his advisors. Does anyone know if the kid is down to earth or a bit arrogant - based on his ability he’d be entitled to be he latter! there is absolutely no doubt that a few of the big fish will be making approaches to his people - what we can do in the face of what will be offered is questionable. At least klopp is now gone from liverpool and no one knows if slot will be as keen to blood 16/17 y o. Pep has shown that he will but Man City’s pool of young talent is incredible. Yanited have been a mess but they may be sorting themselves out. No one with any sense is going to Chelsea. Arsenal have recently lost a big young talent to yanited but arteta has shown he will give youth an opportunity We can probably fast track some of the kids into the league cup squads because we have to show the really talented kids that this club will allow them to break through at 18/19. Whatever the reasons, we’ve not done that for a long time. You could argue that we did give alves a cameo at at MK dons just before his injury. That didn’t deter two of our best U17 from leaving the following summer. I think that fifa should become involved and perhaps look at banning transfers of U18 players where the holding academy don’t want to lose the player.

The yacht had an extremely tall mast - in the face of a waterspout it was likely to go over. The reason it sank quickly was probably down to windows and doors on board being open - hot med summer night. Co incidences are precisely that. It’s why the word exists. If things like this didn’t happen then the word wouldn’t be in our vocabulary. the yacht sinking is not what should be looked at here - it’s the death of the fella in Cambridgeshire which was clearly not due to an act of god. Whilst that may have some dark connections, the sinking of the yacht does not.
