Same agent doesn’t mean he’ll do the club a favour, they’ll act independently in the best interest of each of their clients.

Who was the cunt on the feed playing pattercake.

Nice move by Morocco.

Weren’t we linked with Saibari in the past.

How did he miss that?

None of our 1st choice targets were unknown players last season.

Game over.

Foul yes, red card? nah.

Maduake still looking sheepish after that miss.

There are tax implications so it’s not the face value you pay, see my reply to Andycap.

Activating a release clause in Spain means you have to pay a load of tax. I recall years back Man U didn’t know this and backed out of activating Ander Herrera’ release clause when they discovered that fact only to sign him a year or two later. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/37361826/buy-clauses-add-fun-spain-premier-league-transfers Whist there is a clause for Munoz I believe the club will negotiate a fee to avoid the tax.

We didn’t miss out on the AIK player as we never put in a bid, just had some preliminary discussions.

The reasons Hall isn’t in the England squad is he was injured for large parts of the season, he put in some poor performances when he returned and Nico O’Reilly came on stronger, nothing to do with Burn playing a couple of games at left back. Thats not to say he doesn’t want to leave (who knows) but it would be nothing to do with not being picked for a couple of games.

We should sell ourselves as a club that will give these types of players development time and then allow them to move on to bigger clubs in a few years like with Gordon. That’s how it will have to be until we are one of the big clubs or unless the related party rules change.

Appreciate the efforts but he wasn’t good enough though infinitely better with the ball at his feet compared to Pope. Now to get a decent keeper in who doesn’t constantly make mistakes and that’s us further up the table for minimal effort.
