Probably have to stretch to 30mil over the course of the contract, sell-on clause etc. If it is agreed, it might be fee undisclosed. They're going to have to be tight-fisted to the extent they can get away with. Overpaying for one player puts...

If he signs. Great signature on a free. If he doesnt. Blessing in disguise. We dont have a great history with the dutch. Ray Atteveld is possibly still our best dutch signing.

So did I. It seems more like 1) Considering 2) Considering an approach 3) Contacting 4) Negotiating. Nick Hammond will be skipping meals day in, day out, bless him.

Wyclef Jean's disappointing follow up.

Brilliant. Class club tbh. I’ve a proper soft spot for mackems because of little Bradley. What a warrior he was.

What a great gesture.

I see FSG are persuing Getafe within a multi-club structure. That will hardly pose an issue for European competition you would think, but it underlines that not only is the model here to stay, but it will expand into the future. It won't mean...

I think realistically we'd be looking at a bit lower in level for that type of thing. Norgaard isn't going to swap being a guaranteed starter and captain for Brentford to come here and be a squad option, but playing that role for Arsenal is...

Further proof that signing players to provide squad depth is a totally normal thing to do and it's not the norm to only sign players to go straight into the first choice XI.

Regarding Brentford, if we achieve a modicum of even relative success then there will be plenty of people who will say that we're only a change of manager, or recruitment model, from it all going pear-shaped. I guess it did after Moyes left too...

If wed done this many would have lost their minds.

You may be right there. He did officially engage JP Morgan and MUFG to obtain funding, but nothing came of it. It was viewed as market rejection of the governance of the club, as in any other circumstances he shouldn't have had any difficulty in...

I'm not sure Moshiri ever seriously pursued market funding. I think the funding model was basically just "Usmanov." Then when that tap ran dry, it was panic borrow to survive. Like you say, it's a miracle it's been built and we're still a...

No idea of the fee as you say but he has the sort of profile we should be looking at. It would be a punt but would probably be within an affordable range. I really don't envy them their task, and particularly so with strikers. For the sort...

linked to Millwall striker Mihailo Ivanovic, got 12 goals in 37 appearances for Millwall last season. I haven't really watched him, but seems to score different types of goals; scruffy ones, from the edge of the box, from corners, crosses, free...
