I meant that they're in the mix for it this year. Sorry, my frustration stole the intended meaning behind my post. I have £3 on them for 2-1 you see...

Deserved, that equaliser. I can't get over how rubbish Everton have been though, they're in for CL ffs.

Everton's passing is woeful..

In fairness he'd make more going to Monaco though. Not that they seem to be in for him.

PSG could feasibly pay him so much that the remaining 25% is actually pretty handsome. From our point of view it's better than if he went to one of our midtable rivals like Man Utd.

Only our club could sign someone as vaguely as that...

I don't really know enough of this debate to say if this is right, but it's well reasoned and makes sense to me.

If he's said that in the last couple of days I'm inclined to believe him. If someone was sold, he'd just look even more staggeringly incompetent than he already does.

Yeah but isn't that what happened with us and Jonas? I'm not saying it's likely but it's concerning me slightly.

There is a very large difference between the Christians we have here and the ones in the US. Although the UKIP MP recently is starting to make me think otherwise...

I thought there were concerns that if we wait till summer, he could buy himself out of the remainder of his contract for about £6m. There seems to be a rule allowing that, not that it ever seems to get used. Something to do with the age of the player when signed, and possibly if signed from overseas. If there is anything in that, then I say sell him now. If not then I agree with you - unless it means we don't get Cabella now. I actually think I'd rather get it over with now, when we're safe but aren't going to achieve anything, then we do it over the summer and realise that the team doesn't work next season.

wtf Agreed.

That has to be the worst thing anyone has ever compared Shola to...!

You post on here while in the bath..?

I had a look before to see if they had any further developments. Left quickly and am in agreement about them being OTT. I still think it would make a certain kind of sense for him to go now when we have time to adapt to it for the rest of the season. We all know we're going to finish around 8th, so why not move him on and work out how we can play going forward. Better than working it out next year when we might need the points more.

Congrats CT!

CT if you don't tell us soon I may have to kill you.

We'll survive it, we've got a lot of good players. Best time for it to happen too, we know there's nothing on for the rest of the season, may as well work out the adaptation now.

Fair enough.

Thanks for that, it'll do my forum cred wonders... I think I have mild OCD tbh.

That's a fair point like... maybe in terms of significance someone like Andy Cole? We don't tend to sell good players really. Only shite ones, the good ones have tended to retire with us/stay past their best.

I've never seen more blatant attention seeking EDIT - But FFS I am now curious...

... Thanks.

EUR26mil apparently. About £21.5m. So we'll get Cabella for about £12m, and then the other £10m will disappear. If we get the other £10m to spend then it's about as good as could be expected. If not, then we've taken a step back.
