Rival watch

Get him in counselling PDQ, he clearly has a death wish

 

Jim Ratfink continuing the charm offensive

 

Well fortunately Ten Hag wasn't one of those redundancies.

They've triggered a year's extension in his contract.

 

Reading between the lines, I get the feeling they sent out feelers to somebody when they were very publicly sacking ten Hag in slow motion - only to be told to sod off, so they stuck with him

 

Leicester's FFP appeal has failed.

Good.

Hope they get the book thrown at them and start the season on -15 points.

City better be next.

 

They seemed to think that yo-yoing between divisions meant that they were untouchable.
Let's hope they yo-yo one more time.

 

And then the string snaps.

 

Time to break out the PSR raid music...

 

Bayern continue their raid of mid table PL clubs.
Another good signing in Palhinha

 

West Ham's signing of Wolves' Max Kilman has triggered Maidenhead Utd's sell-on clause.
The 5th tier club will receive 10% of the reported £40m fee.
Former West Ham midfielder Alan Devonshire is their long-term manager. He'll be ecstatic.

 

That’s incredible for Maidenhead.
That must be 4 years income - probably more.

 

Hope their owners don't leg it with the money, like Stevenage's did after the FA Cup match against Newcastle way back when

 

Olise to Bayern confirmed. Him and Musiala supporting Kane is going to be pure filth.

 

With the Olise money in the bank I'm not sure Palace will let Eze go without a fight

 

Pretty much pay the release clause upfront or GTFO

 

He has a release clause so a club can still trigger it but I’ve said for a while I have my doubts on us making a move. Feels like we would’ve done so already if he were genuinely our main target as some reports initially implied.

 

Controversial opinion but I'm not sure Eze is who we need. Absolutely wouldn't say no to signing him as he is proven quality, but the timing of it doesn't quite fit.

Son will be first choice at LW next season, possibly the season after that too.

Eze will be 27-28 yo by then, and even if he'd be ok being second choice for a year or two (highly doubtful), that sort of age isn't really what you'd call a long term successor.

It's why I preferred Olise from day one. Younger and plays in a position that we don't really have convincing options for. But that's off the table now.

 

Donny van de Beek has left Man Utd to join Girona. Did anyone remember that he was still there?

 

Who?

 

Van der Beek. Used to be on Dawson's Creek, I think...
