If you follow some people's advice you should have had a new one lined up ready, just in case. I hasten to add that my wife and I have been together since we were both sixteen and so I have absolutely no experience of this type of situation.

There are other interpretations, many of which have been presented elsewhere on here. The next few weeks should reveal more. Taking large lumps of money out us not that straightforward.

So far, that is. I've been away for three weeks, I'll admit that, but when did Koeman join? Give the fellow a chance, how long did it take Liverpool to get Lovren? Koeman alluded to his leaving being a factor in getting a replacement.

What, international call-ups? They increase the value of the players image right, which is one method of rewarding the player by paying them through a separate company. Just ask Sol Campbell and HMRC about them.

You're very perceptive, young man. I predict a bright future for you.

I spoke to somebody who used to have a box in the Championship. He was so ****ed off by Cortese and the price hike that he walked away and hasn't been back. Have you ever wondered why so many boxes are empty?

It depends upon who owns the image rights.

Are you serious???

And if they don't sell Ings they could be stuck with players they can't afford? Life is not that simple.

They've got to pay for all those new players somehow.

After tax, of course. The only way that the value of the club has changed is that several assets have been converted into cash values much higher than they were listed on the company books.

7-8? Only 5 so far, isn't it? Were changing them in one summer, other clubs do it over 3 or 4, that's all. It's a result if our sudden surge up the tables, that's all.

Even Everton had to sell Rooney.

A sensible post at last!

Weddings make me sad This is nowhere near that bad:)

Because they can see a massive personal opportunity? Play well for a season and get a lucrative transfer to a bigger club, perhaps. The worst that could happen is that they get well paid for doing a job that most people can only dream of. Were talking about professional mercenaries here.

What makes you think that money has been taken out of the club?

Alan Partridge, actually.

'Social media'? Mass hysteria more like it.

That's the way I see it. In isolation it's not such a strange deal but on top of all the others it looks questionable.

It wasn't his team though, was it? Why is buying replacements impossible? There are plenty of options out there.

He's still young, I thought everybody knew that?

This, really. Maybe not too bothered about Chambers if we have a replacement lined up. The big question is: Would be buy any of them back for the price we sold them?
