We sign players from smaller clubs who want to improve, so I'm not sure why people cry when the same players then want to move on when they've progressed beyond us.

Exactly. It pretty much applies to every club apart from Real Madrid and Barca.

Even Man Utd/Liverpool lose their players to those two.

Football clubs shouldn't be allowed to pay agents' fees. It's such a conflict of interest. They certainly shouldn't get anything from a transfer fee, aside from a percentage of what goes to the player. Again, a conflict of interest.

 

This is the case in most US sports, where agents are even limited on the percentage of the salary they can take.

 

The system in world football makes a mockery of the duties an responsibilities a legal agent is suppose to have, i.e. working in the clients' interest, not their own.

March Goal of the Month.

 

Castagne tough competition.

[davieG]

West Ham manager David Moyes said England midfielder Declan Rice will not be sold for less than £150m - and is worth "north" of that figure.

Rice, 23, is a reported target for both Chelsea and Manchester United, but the Hammers boss is refusing to sell.

"The first thing to say is that he is not for sale," said Moyes.

"But if you are interested, it will be north of that, because £100m was cheap last summer and £150m just now would be minimum - but he is not for sale."

A club slapping on a massive price tag of a player they don't want to lose is nothing new or surprising? 

[Super_horns]

Be watching this one behind the sofa !

 

Average score at Anfield is about 4-0 with Salah getting at least 2 or 3.

It's not, they're just an Everton gossip accumulator. But Demarai deleting his instagram is standard behaviour for him, he used to do it about 3 times a season depending on how grumpy he was about playing time.

Optimistic, considering he's only got 2 years left on his contract.

That ball from Thiago was brilliant

Watford play some tidy stuff. Shame they will probably go and Brentford survive.

Typical - we miss a chance and they score .

Poor defending letting him run in unmarked.

Yeah and I just put a bet on them. They had looked dangerous on the break. Mcmenamin is a hard work. 

[kingkisnorbo]

Something quite comforting about seeing Sammy Lee blowing his top on the touch line. 

[Super_horns]

Another missed chance !

 

Be 2-0 soon then .

[StanSP]

Looks like Salah might mess up SkyBet's price boost. Evens for a shot on target. He's not even had a sniff!

He's fat, he's round

He bounces on the ground..

Sammy Lee

Sammy Lee.

[North Leeds Fox]

Its a peno, but that doesn't get given the other way. Not a chance 

[Arkie Bennett]

Definite penalty, but I bet the same happens to us at OT later and nothing is given.

[StanSP]

Happens several times in a season yet doesn't get given...

[StanSP]

'not even Superman would save that' says McManaman.

 

Such a pointless comment
