So do we think they're going to ensure tickets match up to names used to purchase them?

Interesting

I bought a ticket on the understanding that there wasn't going to be any covid checks in place.

Take a test on Thursday, upload the info to the NHS site and get a text message from them as proof.
That's it

Read my first post back. I didn't say I was against him signing (I haven't said that once), I said I didn't buy it as the fee didn't make sense for a player we could sign for nothing. Then you're just making things up about me (accusing the club of making bids for show) off the back of you not bein...

And you think Dyche would play him in the next few months if he needs 5 months to just settle in? At least be consistent with your points :lol: I'm not whingeing about signing him, no issue with us picking him up for free. I just don't buy that we would spend that much money for a player that we co...

€2.5m for an extra <4 months to "settle in". The Brazilian season finishes on 5th December so he could be here for a month settling in. Think there's much better things that €2.5m could be spent on than <4 months for this guy to settle in but maybe you're just too small minded to see that :lol: Did...

GodIsADeeJay81

Small minded for questioning why we'd pay €2.5m for a player we could sign on a free today to join in less than 5 months time :lol: It's a small amount. He gets extra time to settle in, which is important because he's moving across the world and some players genuinely struggle with it. Extra time t...

GodIsADeeJay81

Because €2.5m is a significant amount for us, more so for a player like this. Especially when we're apparently playing chicken with Lyon / Hertha over similar amounts on Cornet, a first team ready signing. 6 months where he's starting most weeks in Brazil isn't going to hamper his development when ...

GodIsADeeJay81

Of the things that don't make sense in this apparent deal the one I really don't buy is why we'd pay €2.5m for a player we could already offer a contract to today to join in January and not pay a penny if the intention is to flip for a profit or develop over time (since you would not expect him to ...

40% of the profit they make from selling him goes to Newcastle.
They paid £1.8 million for him originally, so Newcastle are getting quite a large chunk.

Breaking news on sky, Southampton agree fee for Blackburn’s Armstrong.

That's Newcastle happy then with the 40% sell on clause of anything over the £2 million they originally got for him

GodIsADeeJay81

Odd move by Arsenal to sell him

Good price for a player with 2yrs left on his contract.

Should do well in Newcastle

Featured in Reals friendly this weekend and wearing number 50 after his old number 11 was given to someone else last season.

Looks like he's going to see out the final year of his contract at Madrid and he might finally play Regular league games now Zidane has gone.

Spot on. This is exactly the type of signing we should be making.

Low investment for potential high return. He could be the next Richarlison.

Such small town thinking, we want him to be the next Neymar

Messi isn't any old superstar though, he's been in La Liga his entire career. Finances will take a hit for the rest of the clubs I think, viewing figures for the whole league will be down. Yup and it was gonna happen soon enough anyway, he's 34 and probably not many years left. What do they do when...

Messi is a one off though, name me another player so integral to 1 league. I think Ronaldo is the better player but Messi has been at Barcelona his entire career in la liga, Messi is a huge part of La Liga. Him leaving La Liga will have a negative impact on the rest of the clubs, I'm surprised the ...

I'm very surprised La Liga haven't allowed Barca to bend the rules just to sign Messi, he's such a huge part of La Liga, I'm sure it benefits the rest of the La Liga clubs to have Messi playing in the same league. What about when he retires in the next few years? Rule bending for him leads to rule ...

That's if you believe he was on £60k in the first place.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lad in his 20s was on £60k a week at Liverpool and carried on earning that at Fulham.

You can believe whatever you like though.

I was referring to Fulham not Cardiff.

He's unlikely to take a pay cut though to sign for Fulham, so it's quite possible he's on £60k a week , maybe even more.

GodIsADeeJay81

You said we don't spend £12m on a single player. We have done on more than one occasion admittedly more often under the previous owners. I don't believe he's on £60k a week. He would've been in our range if Dyche thought he was good enough...I've no idea if he would have been. Screenshot_20210808-1...

GodIsADeeJay81

As always I'd expect our side to fight tooth and nail to reach safety, that's what Dyche has instilled in them and I think we'd just about do it.

Joining Barca on a 2yr deal, so we can safely assume Messi will be staying there for the next 2 years. Also worth noting how Suarez was deemed old and past it by Koeman but Aguero... .

So all those times he was kissing the Villa badge he was dreaming of Man City.. that too must hurt die-hard Villans

His statement he put out clears it all up.
He wasn't going to win the league or regularly compete in Europe at Villa.

Genuine question as I’ve only watched a smattering of play from him: If Pep Guardiola thinks he’s a quality talent while scoring against and beating Manchester city in Champions League football, what is suggesting to you that he won’t “be that good if he joins?” TIA!

£100 million was his release clause I've heard tonight, you'd hope we have a decent release clause for McNeil.

Anyway, potentially a good signing for City, still only 25 and will get better

GodIsADeeJay81

Bit more clarity

The contracts have been offered to the trialists, wages for new signings are capped at £4500 a week and even if they sign them, the EFL may not approve them, I think.

Derby could end up fielding a team mainly made up of their U23's and younger this weekend.
