The report is about revenue, so why wouldn't it include transfer income? Revenue is income from normal business activities, which for football clubs would have to include transfer dealings. It is a bit misleading to say this is a list of the richest clubs, because it does not include outgoings or assets, but it is one indicator among several.

Not really an issue though, is it. Think we have 3 spare places now, and we are hardly being swamped by new arrivals.

Lost out to best striker in PL at the moment, not many do that. Other than that looked very good and confident ad usual and should have scored as well.

He can only get an assist if someone scores.

Perhaps we could bring him in as 2nd half manager. MP can do 1st half then Silva could do the half time talk and the subs.

You think our players would fetch 200 million, now that's delusion.

Not really a brilliant article, nowt wrong with what it says but seems to be missing a second part and some sort of conclusion. Needed to follow up about the downward spiral of the Academy, the dithering of the Board, the lack of anything from the new owners and a whole host of other issues. Instead the article just stops.

He has actually been implementing an initial strategy quite well recently. It's the real ton when the opposition reacts and changes theirs that is the problem. He has no idea how to cope with changes during the match.

It needs an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 10. Les is still waiting for the nice people from India who phone regularly to provide MS upgrades.

Have been saying this was happening for about 2 years now, but the happy clappers said everything was rosy. One area that does seem to be improving though is the u18s where things have started to look up since Danny Butterfield was appointed. Needs serious surgery at the top of the Academy.

We won't go 2 up top while we only have 2 fit strikers. Even if the thin one thought it would be a good idea.

Wrong, we were set back by the first goal. Giving the ball away, letting them back in and not reacting effectively to the changes made by the opposition. We were very good first half, no doubt, but time and again this manager and these players cannot react to changes and cannot maintain momentum. Yes the equaliser was disgraceful, but it had been coming all half, if that hadn't gone in likely another one would. Still there do seem to be some small signs of improvement.

Usually when it gets dark

Too small, wonder how Eden Hazard made it then. Taller than Redmond, maybe you're right.

Good result. Nice to know that we should be OK when we drop down to the Southern League.

Not convinced he will go to Everton. Note that reports say Everton are negotiating with Arsenal. Arsenal are clearly dealing with the potential buyer who appears to be making the best offer. The still has to agree, and being a Liverpool fan I have some doubts that he will do so if there are alternatives available. Maybe straw clutching, also not convinced that Theo is an answer anyway, a player who has always had pace but not much of a footballing brain, and who wasn't greatly improved in that sense by Arse Wenger.

He's still playing in Senegal, but will be 41 in May.

You seem to have missed some data there, like all the seasons when he has scored plenty of goals, including the last season and a half. You seriously don't think he is better than our current shower? Really makes you wonder. Total nut job, granted, at least he was, sometimes people change as they mature.

Would be surprised if Walcott went to Everton, being as he is/was a Liverpool fan.

More likely Bill Gates, it ran on Windows XP and hasn't been updated.

Selling club do not pay agents fees. Agents are paid by the player and the buying club. Why would the selling club pay an agent, in a case like VVD's. The time a selling club pays agents fees is when they are trying to offload a player and need to find a buyer. The original author of this item about VVD's transfer, the so called Deputy Football Correspondent of the Times has certainly caused some confusion by his Fake News. The article as I said before was just utter bowlocks but seems to have been swallowed hook line and sinker by some on here.

Not really, he doesn't score goals this time of the year. Might be useful when the weather gets warmer, end of March/early April.

I think this report can be seen to be what it is, utter bullocks. Just the last sentence shows the author knows nothing about how transfers work. I'm sticking by what we were told that it was £70m up front. The good news is that the Celtic cut is only 10% on the profit, so a bit less than expected (had assumed it was a straight 10% but really that was a silly assumption). By the way do we have a sell on clause for Walcott, do we get a discount if we buy him back? (just kidding)

Reported that it would be £70m up front, with £5m add-ons. 10% (£7m) to Celtic.

... and creates our goal (Adam & Dave waxing lyrical about his contribution to the goal).
