Unless it's a kids shirt and we had an alcohol sponsor. Nope.

I like you.

Joyce in the Times now saying the same as Bascombe re Keita.

Didn't Rafa basically bomb Xabi out with the whole Barry thing anyway? Or was that debunked. Having to sell the family silver with the two idiots were in charge isn't quite the same thing as what went on at other times.

He defo has had inside knowledge at some point. I seem to remember him call Klopp (as a fact, not as speculation) before just about anyone else. Still his source might have been Ayre and it's pretty easy to call a big week ahead as we're clearly going in with our third and final offer for Keita this week.

Saintsweb want him to rot in the reserves and another poster has suggested starting a petition specifically saying don't sell him to us. Lol

There is no ambiguity in what he said. But all clubs, including Leipzig, say stuff like this. So who knows.

Everytime I think the crazy prices have plateaued another club gets a new owner and starts the bonkers spending. This year it's Milan. There is still a lot of Chinese investment money out there to be spent on vanity projects so I wouldn't expect thing to slow down.

No idea why but it is her Joyce and James Pearce and formally Tony Barrett who are the ones who tend to get briefed. Bascombe seems to piss in the wind a lot more.

I was hoping West Ham might but they appear to be signing Chicharito.

Quite. We still have Matip and then a load of donkeys at CB afterall.

The only way a bid is coming in for Phil is if Neymar does agree to PSG (Barca can't stop it) at which point the whole world and his wife will know that Barca have 220m in the bank so we'd be rejecting anything under 120-40m. No way. He knows the way to the goal but doesn't seem to be gelling with Anchelotti at all. Monster of a player and the most German looking person in the world. Would have him in a heartbeat.

Mateschitz is the ultimate hardballer as well. If he really decides they won't sell they won't and he won't give a f***. I'm assuming the 75m was from us.

He apparently has absolutely ludicrous wage demands as well.

All you have to do is view r/soccer semi regularly and you'd know that Lacazette etc have been rumbling on for a huge amount of time. Most clubs do their business at the same snails pace including the leaks to the press.

5 million bid from Lazio.

Bonucci is going to Milan for just 40m.

That is all to do with Mendes and his links to the Wolves board.

They're worth want people will pay for them. Once the new TV deal hit player values have increased.It'll keep happening until the amount of money clubs are getting per season plateaus.

I believe with Ox-C they're not that bothered selling him to a rival as Wenger doesn't really see him as a threat etc. Very different with Sanchez though. They will do anything to avoid selling him to city. But I don't think they'll run his contract down. At some price they will sell him.

It's in the times. Basically his take on what RBL said earlier.

It's exactly what every club says. Offer the price and they'll sell.

I only think we get a striker if someone like West Ham puts in a big offer for Sturridge.

They desperately want to sell him to anyone not in England but it looks like he's gonna agitate to go to City.

Definitely.
