yeah the low wage bill has always looked dodgy as **** to me.

they buy the best players in the world and then almost none of them ever leave of their own accord, so unless the manchester weather has some special charm that i cant detect i think they might be cooking those wage numbers

Jordan Henderson has not received a penn...

loool

and Man City are contesting it and have mega lawyers who will tie it up for years

damn imagine someone paying tens of millions of quid just to flee your country. such an insult to the most honorable house of saud

I mean it’s not like he’s a Filipino maid or a Bangladeshi construction worker…he’ll get his (now heavily taxed) wages eventually. But what a serious string of disastrous decisions.

Apparently from that article he’s “only” on 350k per week, which I imagine is about double his Liverpool salary when all the reports at first when he went were quoting 700k. Hope all that was worth it.

I hate this argument, it's not like Everton can't afford the best lawyers too.

But Everton went to the PL and admitted they'd done wrong. Hiring lawyers to argue that they didn't would be ridiculous.

Why have I bought a ticket to Palace away midweek

To see a 0-0 masterplan by Roy Hodgson?

I see Ivan Toney is fresh off his ban giving more of the same interviews still about how much he wants to join a bigger club.

How do Brentford fans not hate this guy’s guts? I hope they cash in on him, but please not us. Do not want for any price under any circumstances.

And yes I do realize it will take him about three games to eclipse Jesus’ goal total for the year.

Brother…the whole thing is a PR exercise for their World Cup. They’re not going to want more stories coming out about them not paying the captain of Liverpool. I think it’s safe to say Hendo will be collecting his 350k/week owed, but after tax he obviously should have just stayed and been a Milner figure at Pool instead of lighting his reputation on fire.

Not wanting a striker when we are shooting blanks is crazytalk

i thought gabriel jesus was the 2nd best striker in the league according to arse fans

I see Roy rightfully getting some stick for taking Eze off for rest ahead of game against Arsenal.

1. You're about 90, surely now's the time to go all out on a cup run.

2. You're likely getting hosed against Arsenal anyway, 25mins rest for Eze not going to significantly alter that.

3. Has he not seen the state of the promoted clubs? They probably only need 4 wins from remaining 18.

A fitting reward for being in 8th place: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/680...

There should be no fanbase on earth more familiar with **** Brazilian strikers who can’t score than Spuds. And I am being quite liberal with the term “striker” here.

Marhaba. Ana Steven Gerrard. Ana
Al Ettifuc ky. See you soon.

This Egypt v Ghana game has certainly picked up..

3 goals in 5 minutes

spurs about to sign 18yo antonio nusa for ~30m from brugge and let him stay there on loan for the rest of the season

Troy Deeney sacked after 6 games. Today I learned that he went on celebrity mastermind and scored 0 on his specialist subject.

There's a fair chance Ghana go out of the ACON in the group stages and we get Kudus back early. Which is nice.

Can’t see them losing to Mozambique

If Egypt beat Cape Verde that guarantees Ghana comes third - or can third place still qualify?

It’s a 24 team tournament, so the best 4 third placed teams will go though.
