Gutted he wants to go to Spurs, really. Everton are the sort of club who will bid £45m when you want £35m.

Surprised Ferry / Jankewitz didn’t make the bench.

Can’t see that tweet anywhere?

I suppose it depends on how Ralph views Valery and/or whether money stretches that far.

Smart from Levy to not do it, really,

No way Levy values him at £10m

There’s normally always a “part 2” of a press conference. It’s so stories can run after 10.30pm for newspapers etc.

Ralph was asked about Reed today in the press conference today — apparently in the embargoed section.

I'm sure he's loved his time with the loan clubs, but you'd imagine his ultimate goal would be to succeed with us.

Nothing particularly new here; https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/pierre-emile-hojbjerg-tottenham-jose-mourinho-kyle-walker-peters-a4497561.html Still favours a move to Spurs, apparently.

Irish lads will probably all start?

Onwards we go. Players must be knackered. Hopefully Brighton under Potter play a style that suits us slightly more than under Hughton.

& we are still lumbered with those high earners we can’t shift.

Fair points. The beauty of this situation is -- Ralph -- tactically, knows exactly what he needs from players. So I'm happy to trust him on this one.
