Seen a lot of this - you’d think that was a bit tin foil hat stuff I mean the Israelis prided themselves on knowing pretty much everything that was going on in Gaza. Surely they would know - maybe they did and they’ve done this to try and draw the war to a close by actually cutting off hamas’ supply lines. Israel won’t want to lose their ‘peace’ with Egypt. The issue would become huge if any hostages were removed into Egypt. If sinwar/other top Hamas people have escaped there, i would think Israel probably calculated that was likely.

I hope I’m wrong but I fear that there is a story coming ref tunnels between Gaza and Egypt. It was pretty much known that there were smuggling tunnels but if the apparent number and size of them is true then could be difficult for the egyptian govt to claim ignorance. we could do without the Israelis and Egyptians having their peace deal fall apart.

Similar to the enzo in/out after Plymouth then ….

Jeez it’s going to be a long summer …..

Nothing has been said to this effect but if we have offered him a multi year deal then I fail to see how we wouldn’t be if you include the s/o fee

Define wealthy ?

Are you a real doctor ?

Changing offside to wenger’s suggestion will result in defenders dropping deeper and less attacking football people in authority seem incapable of working out the unintended consequences

We will be using ‘auto offsides’ like they do in europe in next season’s prem .

People suggesting different ways it could be implemented are missing the point. It can only be used based on existing IFAB protocols. my understanding is that the people who matter - club owners, will want to retain it (apart from wolves and forest). Expect no change.

Once ? other time was may ??

apparently in life threatening condition (Rather more concerning than another Tory crossing the floor)

The basic point is that there is pretty much no ‘policing’ of the supposed ‘safe’ social media platforms - seeing is no longer believing. We are headed into a very murky future

I’ve spent way too long this past week or two going down rabbit holes on twitter relating to the politics of the Middle East. If I wasn’t ‘balanced’ and I was easily led then the basic untruths being put out there as facts would get stuck pretty easily. Infact you wouldn’t need to be easily led - just having a slight leaning to one side or another and whoosh - you’re gone!

Would like to know what the deal is on vesty - if it’s a years extension then it won’t cost us too much but if it’s a proper contract then we’ll effectively have to re sign him with a s/o fee. so if it’s publicised on social media that we’ve given him a three year deal on 75k then 15k/week (2.25m) could be the s/o fee portion.

Looking through the list they are not an issue for them most they will be happy to let go and a few they have options to buy

Yep - never buy off the back of one outstanding season

Then he must have taken a v large s/o fee as part of his remuneration over the period of his contract. we had him on loan for a few months and he was resident in Monaco for a short period between the end of the loan and the start of his Lcfc contract. I wonder if the s/o fee can be paid whilst still a Monaco resident and therefore not subject to tax ???

Imo, one of our biggest issue was not accepting release clauses (after Kante) we ended up paying too much in wages and ended up without fees in more cases than was necessary

Yes he wasn’t on the standard 80k but he was on double plus a bit what you’ve quoted

I think he’s missing some shouldn’ts and shoulds but his point is that it used to be about the money and now it isn’t! He justifies this by saying if it was about money then there wouldn’t be girona and us And if it were just the money then United and Chelsea would be competing for the title every season which they aren’t he’s half right

Long odds on this finishing 3-3

Jeez - villa took off decent players and brought garbage on

Correct the PL will judge that the amounts paid/received are fair value. It could be that they’ve now done a second deal (for the training ground) in order to try and force the first one through at the very least. Working out a fair value for the training ground will be difficult. these type deals are not allowed n the efl

It’s worrying because if kids are spending a lot of time on TikTok (which they are) then their view of the world is clearly going to be from a Chinese slanted perspective based on that graph. I’ve spent a lot of time in China amongst people who are very well educated and have travelled extensively in the west (mainly for business ) their view of world affairs is very different to ours and lacks balance. Please don’t think that china’s govt influence is restricted purely to south East Asian affairs (just as the USA ‘meddle’ in every corner of the globe)
