Has Tom28 said anything at all on the subject of late ? Probably been gagged.

Right, Monaco's president has put it all out in front. The price required to even think about it is 180 million euros, no add ons except that the formation fee due to wherever Mbappe came from of 1.4 million is to be added on as well, net and final price 181.4 million euros. To boot the Spanish government have decided that Monaco is a tax haven and in consequence a tax of 19% (about 34 million) is to be added on to any sale price. Total price payable before any eventual agents fees is somewhere in the region of 216 million euros. So if Real want him they know what's required..:rolleyes:

People always assume that there's no way that a player could get the drop on the club and force it to sell him to wherever it is he wants to go. Some agents are firkin smart cookies with enough law degrees to paper your living room, some club people aren't so smart, especially ones that get sacked or leave suddenly. We'll have to see what comes to pass but if we sell him to the Dippers you can assume he had something that made it possible.

Bookies don't nibble, punters nibble and bookies say thanks a lot. Don't see what it would change anyway, he was 5/2 on to go there anyway even last week when Saints were saying it's not going to happen, which probably hasn't changed anyway.

Isn't the maths a bit flawed in that argument ? 45+45+10 =100 Mind you I've seen an Ariane rocket not take off for a comma instead of a full stop....

Well they're not going to tell us the amount anyway and by the time the accounts 17/18 come out in the spring of '19 nobody will give a toss anyway. So it'll all be down to positive and negative speculation.

Ballague says Barca can't afford Coutinho anyway unless they sell Neymar, seems unlikely but you never know.

Hah, memories of sneaking into and out of Hulse Rd Nurses Home. Handy for the Top Rank and the cricket though.

Looked like they needed to be a lot calmer in front of goal, still it's really only pre-season for them.

Watched on Fox and they said that that stand was closed for renovation or something and the game sold all of the available tickets, 35000 odd. Whether that's right or not I could not say.

But think of the gems you've learnt here. Far more important than the OP.

Think he was looking to get a managers job. Spurs were making him work out his notice, don't know if they still are, a year on.

Markus probably wasn't valued at 3 billion, that's just the problem. The figure probably came from an erroneous looking up of Liebherr on the internet. No point going on about it though really. We are where we are, we have an owner without enough money to take the club forward, because from top 6 to top 4 you need serious money, and as City, PSG etc keep proving if you have money you can get round FFP easy as pie.

Probably miffed about them sacking Karanka. Don't think that did them one bit of good really.

Don't we already have a striker who scored a packet of goals in the championship anyway and for free ?? It seems that warning clubs about the potential sale value of one of your players has become a craze. Think it's called advertising for everything else, expect that that goes, buy today, only 99.99£, you know you want to even if you don't need it anyway.

Wants out or can't afford to continue as it is ? Therein lies the question. Don't think she's taken any money out myself but probably needs to.

If only they'd had pod steering eh............

Coutinho obviously isn't just a squad player but for the price they can get as good or better, they're Liverpool remember and they'll probably not be trying to fob the replacement off with 10K a week.

Don't need to Google it, Dry dock, expert techniciens and workmen and pay the sizeable bill. Most marine systems failures are a result of idiots using them, poor maintainence and trying to fix the damage they've inadvertently done themselves. Unless you hit a whale or an iceberg or something and even then, why did you hit it in the first place..........

But that's what Daleks do, or did anyway, repeating the same few things, time after time.

Mané on form, they've bought Salah, Henderson might stay fit for the entire season you never know. Still think they'll be getting a lot of money for a player who can be replaced in the case of Coutinho. Firminho isn't really playing his true role there either.

Don't really think Coutinho is essential to them. A good player certainly but not irreplaceable for the money they're going to get for him. He always looks a bit of a fragile flower to me. Has a right shocker from time to time as well, just doesn't turn up.

How do you know Bednarek is better than Maya then ?

Perhaps there really is nothing to be ITK about. Les said quiet summer, not much selling and not much buying either. The club is up for sale, there was some sort of deal in place but it doesn't seem to be happening any too fast. The owner is under investigation, or was anyway, for eventual inhertitance tax liability in Germany; If it ever transpires that she does in fact owe money there she'll probably have to sell even quicker, well according to some press stories anyway.

Justly no, an owner can make up losses each season from his own pocket providing, and here's the rub, that it's a gift and not a loan. This is tempered with a proviso of tendering a break even plan for some time in the future. At the current time this allowed amount stands at 30 million .
