Not sure why that needs hurrying up if they’re paying his release clause ??

Have we mentioned a fee ??

In a midfield with youri and Bouba he was the only player fit enough to get forwards to press and also back behind the ball once we’d been played through

He did? tielemans played on the pivot when wilf wasn’t available kdh was left midfield pressing high the pivot is cdm infront of the back four - never seen kdh there

Well it will be competitive in there if nothing else !

With hamza it’s to enable us to get a fee rather than him walk out the door for nowt. With wilf, we clearly decided that to offer him new terms was cheaper than going out and finding the same player elsewhere - s/o fee probably around £4m. (Paid out over the length of his contract),

Astonishing - I guess they’ve earned their reputation over many decades !

I suspect that because we’re already in the doo doo, we decided that these type deals would be too risky to become involved with.

Possibly if we’ve breached then likely to be on the low side

I’ve recently found out that standard buildings insurance does NOT a cover an issue which is the result of any of the following a) bad design b) bad workmanship c) bad materials its likely that the bigger the claim the more likely these will be brought into play

Democrats congress begins today to finish with confirmation of Harris’ candidacy they are walking a tightrope on Gaza and I think a lot of the talking up of a deal at the moment is based in them trying to get agreement before her acceptance speech on Thursday it’s clear that they are applying max pressure on all sides - I wonder what kinds of ‘deals’ have been offered to Iran and her proxies to prevent them attacking and driving a full blown regional war. Are they positive or negative ?? it looks like Israel have rowed back a bit on some of their red lines. Eg- Philadelphi corridor where they now say a tech solution could work rather than have soldiers there.

Possible

Wilf as box to box with double pivot behind. Wilf can’t play as a ten - you need to be able to do things with the ball to be a ten !

Why? do you think they’re short of cash? we’d have to pay Macquarrie anyway cos we’ve drawn down as we usually do.

It’s not quite like that value wise and selling players isn’t the same as buying players re amortisation

The photo I assume

Maybe that’s why we’ve bought skipp ! £45m and they can have him interesting that maresca has chosen not to play an inverted full back but instead pushing the right back very high

Depends how many wickets we have in hand

Does Holland realise this is a one day game ?

The three year rolling psr total surely has to be implemented by the PL - otherwise you potentially have a championship club suddenly spending a hundred million more than all the other clubs in an attempt to get to the PL. Sheff Utd was not a psr issue. I think it was specifically an efl one. ???

I mentioned in the psr thread that we would argue we don’t have to submit an accelerated set of accounts to the PL as were an efl club. so we likely won’t get any charge relating to 30 June 2024 period heard and implemented this season (unless we want to and assuming we breached). I think it was reported last season that the PL can enforce EFL sanctions and vice versa. I assume that to avoid some pretty crude avoidance of the rules in the championship that the PL will charge based on efl season ending.

Tbh, the replays I saw looked like hughes was blocking the defender. If that absolutely was 100% not the case then the var could have over ruled without the whistle being blown. Assume the ref was too keen to implement the new rules

Sort of Irrelevant if the var doesn’t think was a clear error to give the foul against hughes

It’s a three year rolling total - I think it’s irrelevant that year 3 was in the champ Exactly They didn’t break three year rolling psr in the championship - that occurred end of their first year in PL.

I see Toney now likely to move somewhere ….
