    I honestly think we will get him now. The club will know the players stance after one on one talks or whatever with his agent. If he wanted or his heart is set on going elsewhere we wouldn't of went in with a 3rd offer. "Why chase someone who is not interested in playing for us" just wouldn't make sense. you can't force someone to sign for you. we have obviously made some movement on him personally. Now we trying to tie it all up with Feyenoord.

    Well if Marseille can’t afford Paixao they also can’t afford to pay Wallace Yan’s €40m release clause.

    Aha knew nothing about him, other than what I read in article and a quick check of his stats.

    Although of course just because a player has a release clause, doesn't mean his present club can't/won't sell him for less ;)

    Serious question for Professor Askey:

    So far Liverpool have spent £190m this window and I get that they didn’t spend much the last couple of windows, however even though they just got £75m for Diaz from Bayern Munich, the loophole scam known as PSR….. they just tragically lost Diogo Jota and will be paid out a substantial sum from the clubs insurance policy. Will that pay out be booked into the accounts as revenue for PSR purposes?

    As far as I am aware, all income is eligible to count towards PSR. Whilst I'm sure there would be some exceptional cases where it doesn't, from an accounting point of view, this would be similar to them having sold a player (albeit under tragic circumstances) and thus I would expect it to count towards any PSR calculations.

    It’s likely irrelevant as the top six would never be penalised regardlesss of spending. City are living proof of that

    sound like we have an opportunity here to put contracts out on Bamford, Meslier etc and get some insurance compo to beat the system, we must have Paddy insured for £30m <laugh>

    Can’t see that being Greenhoff, Forza. Either one :1980_boogie_down:. I got the 7 that old school mentioned. I know the face of the player on end of back row, opposite to Wille Bell but can’t recall his name. The others I don’t have a clue about.

    Greenoff had signed a professional contract with us prior to that picture being taken, however he isn't in the photo.

    Having seen the answers I probably should have got 2 more than the 5 I did, I recognise the names of 3 others
