    Ok yes fair enough. Didn't realise that, and that's actually scandalous given how bad they've been.

    Meh, I'm not convinced by him.

    Any news on a central midfielder, Keeks?

    I'm confused with this Lemar chap - did he play centre-half against England in that recent friendly? I could swear he did, but it would seem he's actually a winger so I'm doubting my memory.

    He might have filled in momentarily when Varane got the boot, but he wouldn't have played there. There's a French centre back named Laporte who may be fucking with your memory.

    Can't see it working out amazingly well for Milan this season. That many new players to go straight into the first eleven is a big move. Top four would be a good achievement.

    You definitely did, but there's also whatever you submitted to Football365 which, as I remember, came about a year before I seen a proper article with the same idea.

    The same thing it takes for any other bubble to burst - rampant over-valuation of things.

    Graham Hunter has a new podcast out today called 'THE BIG INSIDE VIEW' where he reveals his EXCLUSIVE insider knowledge to people who give him a fiver. In the first episode he says M'Bappe will stay at Monaco, Kyle Walker is moving to Man City and Bonucci will move to Milan. I repeat, the podcast came out TODAY.

    With EXCLUSIVES like that I can't see why he's not charging 100 pound an episode.

    His Big Interview show jumped the shark when he got Jody Morris on and said he was one of the finest passers of the ball to ever grace the nation of England. Stopped listening after that.

    Us going after Aguero is mental/desperate. Our transfer policy seems to be the result of daily liquid lunches. Pity AVB isn't still around to see it.

    So dependent on having a top head coach under the current setup (and I mean head coach, not manager).

    Javi Manquillo, the right back of Atletico and previously on loan at Sunderland and Liverpool, is having a medical with Newcastle at the minute. Can't say he's impressed me in either Premier League spell, so we'll see.

    Jacob Murphy of Norwich is expected to have a medical today too.

    Manquillo was the definition of average in a 7th/8th place Liverpool team if I remember right.

    As for us, Robertson has left Hulls pre-season tour, so you can only imagine that's to complete his Liverpool move. Fee just under £10m last I heard.

    The Spanish tax man seems to be catching up with a few people, which is an unexpected development it has to be said.

    The internet told me that Veratti is going to sign with Mino which means my midfield might be Pogba-Veratti-Herrera next season and for some reason I'm hard as bricks.

    Robertson is on his way over for a medical for a shade under £10m. Kevin Stewart is going the other way for somewhere around £7-8m, we we're gaining a left back for almost free. Or the cost of our 8th or so choice centre mid.

    The Keita saga rumbles on. We bid €65m and saw that rejected. We returned Tuesday with €75m and that has today been rejected, with the owner of RBL stating they wish to make a point of not selling their better players. It was expected that the latest bid, which was £66m would seal the deal so I don't know what happens now. Unless he turns in a transfer request then I can't see this one going anywhere.

    Think Morata will be the better of the two out of him and Lukaku. Chelsea could really do with a defender.
