why? Im happy to stay in my job at the moment but if a competitor offered me more money, better working conditions and better opportunities. Why would a footballer be any different. Im sure they'd be happy to stay as in not push for a move and knuckle down for the season, but if an offer came along that was better and worked for everyone then they'd take it. That's life.

only a matter of time before it was.

SO what's that about £60m in the pocket now, plus Lavia to move once the victims finally pull their finger out, another £40m. According to logic on here any selling club we want to buy from should be taking us to the cleaners from now.

not a dig at you as there will be a lot thinking the same but isn't it tragic that we as fans think that way. Not how much we are looking forward to see him play, make his England debut with us, can we build a young team around him and a few others that can challenge at the top of the table etc. No, it's about how much we can make from him when we sell him. Symbolic of what football has become.

Not Marx but I like this and it’s apt for certain people on here

The only people talking about the CoT these days are those that are not in it, meaning the members are obeying the first two rules of the CoT. Which is why they are in it and you aren’t. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Like he’s ever had me on ignore! He can’t get enough. His recent thing is to like to laugh at every single post against me. When he’s not trying to prove Jews aren’t a race he spends the rest of his time scrolling through here trying to find my posts.

I’d love it if someone else came in and pinched him at the last minute

a real statement of intent!

didn't the commentator say that VAR never reviewed it because the ref didn't make a decision? i thought they said that anyway, which is weird as the amount of premier league games get pulled back because the ref missed something.

Why is that relevant? Does that mean that because we're interested in Matt Grimes he is now worth £20m? You never did answer that. If there were loads of clubs interested then that pushes the price up but it doesn't look like there is. Nice little dig about the CoT, it seems the only people talking about it are you lot these days.

Rice is worth it because Arsenal were prepared to pay it and he’s a youngish player wanted by the top clubs in the world all of which have lots of cash. JWP is worth what he’s worth because there seems to only be one club interested and he’s only going to be attractive to mid to bottom half level clubs. It really isn’t tough to work out.

yep £35m is fair for Ward-Prowse, i'd actually say £30m is fair and £35m would be a very good deal. The comparisons to Rice are crazy. Rice is 24 coming into his prime is one of the first names on the England team sheet and was wanted by top clubs in the country. Ward-Prowse is nearly 29, appears to only have one team after him and as much as we like him is at best a midtable player. That's not an insult to him, it still makes him a premier league level player and a very good player but that's the reality, Rice is a younger, much better player with his best years ahead of him, Ward-Prowse is not far from the age where when your games is based around work rate and fitness those things start to wain, he might be a freak like Milner who is still super fit in their mid thirties but he might not be. And we all know the "is Rice three times better" argument is a load of nonsense.

Incorrect. The rules of the forum state anyone over 16 can view and post so this includes 6th form age group.

Very lucky to get through that. 4 cracking penalties though after that awful first one.

£50m

Why does that matter? £35m is a fair price for Ward-Prowse. We will soon have £80m in our pocket for the sale of Livramento and Lavia. Does this mean we should pay £20m for Matt Grimes now?

it really isn't

Surely this is his perfect job, he could get to live in a small welsh mining village with a local girl and be a football manager?

the pundits called it out, so obvious a dive. The commentators are really annoying, everything is brilliant and amazing, for example Lucy Bronze hit a pass, "brilliant ball from Bronze" It went straight at the defender who cleared it easily under no pressure.

It won’t mean a lot to most of you but this women is incredible. She’s just won the CrossFit games womens masters for the 3rd year in a row. This makes her the fittest women on earth in her age group 3 years in a row. As a recreational CrossFit athletes who has competed at local level I cannot begin to tell you how hard this is. You have to be world class at running, rowing, gymnastics, weight lifting jus to qualify for the final. The fittest guy in my gym didn’t even make the top 25% in the UK. She trains at CrossFit Southampton. I hope the city recognises her incredible achievement which to win once is phenomenal to do it 3 years in a row in super human

I’m just posting an amusing picture you’re mistaken my post for someone having an agenda

It’s a good comparison to be fair. Noble is a bit of a hero at West Ham a good player got them but in reality never going to get a move to a better club so stuck with them. Ward Prowse is the same he might get a move to a premier club but he’s only going to swap us for another club whose goal every season us to stay up and will eventually go down. Unlike lavia who will go to one of the worlds biggest clubs expecting to win things and play champions league football
