Yeah, I saw that. Was quite disappointed - he knows what he's doing and has an excellent success rate. I don't think he has been turning down cash as such, I think he has signed a new contract hasn't he?

You're correct - it was after the 2-2 at Old trafford, and the 3-0 against Atalanta. When their form had really taken a nosedive.

Liverpool you definitely got at the perfect time. They played a gruelling game against United the week before which went to extra time, and then a shock loss to Atalanta at Anfield. Much like us, their season unravelled in a series of 3 or 4 games.

Palace's run in was every bit as hard as ours. City Liverpool Newcastle West Ham Fulham United Wolves Villa They just happened to play most of them at the perfect time. Liverpool and west Ham directly after difficult Europa league games - United without any centre backs and Fernandes out -...

The main impact to a player's value is wages. The impact to the P&L of having 2 or 3 players that don't break through can be horrific. South americans are happy to take a relatively low wage with much better wages if they break through to teh first team squad. EFL players will expect a decent...

There is limited value in the Championship. You can buy 3 gifted South american kids for 1 championship player. The wages and sell on clauses required to win their signature also take a big chunk out of their value. Dougie is undeniably an expert at identifying the right players for their...

I doubt United would have had you as a win. No Fernandes and down to 6/7 choice centre-backs. You literally couldn't have played them at a better time. Liverpool was a decent result, but again you played them at the perfect time - straight after 2 disappointing cup results and midway between 2...

They have a good first 11, that features players in their prime. They have also found a good manager. If they stick with what they've got they will have another good season next year. They are certainly ahead of us in preparation for next season.

Jesus! I don't disagree with any of that.

And Villa

For the first time in a long while, it isn't one of our stars that are top of the transfer rumours list. If we can keep Mitoma/Pedro/Enciso/Adingra we will be in a strong position to push on. I think Olise is likely to be constantly linked with a big move. and would have as big an impact...

March - 7 games played Enciso - 10 games played Mitoma - 19 games played Estupinan - 19 games played 4 of our best attacking players - guaranteed starters when fit each out for half a season + Take out Mateta -Olise - Eze - Ayew out for the same amount of games and lets compare performances??

I see what you'e talking about. I think for now Glasner will want to test himself in the Prem and see what he can do. Similar to De Zerbi, he's a manager on the rise and knowing a good performance in the Prem can be a springboard to much bigger things. Jumping too soon (a la Potter) is often a...

Sorry what is that in relation to?

HA! We deluded ourselves too, during our decent streak. Enjoy this moment., it won't last, it never does. All part of being a football fan.

I doubt he does, as Bayern are a basket case right now. But seeing as Beaky rates him at $100m , I would suggest his agent should use this as an opportunity, to renegotiate a contract extension, before the rest of the Prem work out how to play against Palace next season.

Up to us to do the business against United. Hopefully Newcastle f*** them up tonight and they save a few for the cup final.

As with any form snapshot - it isn't telling at all. We weren't as good as our first 10 games - you aren't as good as your last 10. League table is the best indicator. And over the season there won't be too much between the two teams ( as long as we have to play 10 more games than you)

Yeah absolutely. He is effectively saying "we won't sell him". However, unless he already has this as a release clause, Beaky has left himself open to an interesting conversation, with Glasner's agent.

Not sure how much truth there is in this, but surely he can just buy himself out of his contract? $20m for a two year contract is very generous. Highly unlikely Glasner is on anywhere near that. I'm calling bullshit on the $100m request, although Beaky is enough of a deluded twunt to try it on.
