Technically they are starting very very early for next summer as this deal can’t be completed until the summer 2025 window.

They were readying Baleba so I thought Dunk was done, but the way he ran of the pitch to do that waiting around thing they do after treatment everything looked ok. He probably then felt the injury more as he cooled down during half time, it might have stiffened up a bit too so they decided not...

For Milner at Liverpool (PL games only) 19-20 Made squad 27 times 20-21 Made squad 30 times 21-22 Made squad 32 times 22-23 Made squad 34 times. So even if he didn't get that many mins on the pitch he was making the squad a lot of the time. The games he missed he tended to have an injury but I...

Totally agree that is the likely squad involvement for all 3 players. Barco potentially missing most of pre season and friendlies would be the biggest draw back for me. Given how well he’s already settled in the squad a good pre season would see him develop and understand our patterns of play...

Will they be going to the Olympics or Copa America though? We refused Buonanottes call up for the Olympic qualifiers in January. And we can refuse any call up to the Olympics themselves. However we have to release players for the Copa America. The good thing is the Copa America finishes in...

Of course being able to spread the transfer fee over a number of seasons does help. But this could be a one off season in terms of a hike of income for Stuttgart. So doubling their record transfer fee still represents a huge investment on their part no matter how the payments are structured...

It would be pretty much doubling their record transfer fee. The base fee for qualifying for the Champions League is about £17m there is then TV rights money etc added to that. Additionally they get around £1.8m per win in group stage but £20m would represent a massive percentage of their base CL...

I'm not being silly. In the context of a club earning over £150m over 24 months then £120k fine is nothing. Their other outgoings and spend have no baring on that at all. It's simple maths. And if a fine of less then 0.08% of their overall income is a problem then they need to spend their money...

They get over £100m for a season in the PL (last season Southampton got just over £100m finishing bottom and Luton are going to finish 3rd bottom so it's likely to be nearer £110m. The first year of parachute payments is around £55m. This means that 120k is around 0.08% of that total. It's nothing.

If you are going to think that that then £120,000 fine is nothing to Luton either. But it's a start and failure to implement other recommendations would lead to further punishment which could be more serious. Plus it puts the onus on the clubs to identify and ban those responsible/report to...

Does that mean the club ban themselves from all home games for a year?

Yes they did, £120,000 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67513553 Also confirms the away club are responsible for how their fans behave. So hopefully we will see a similar punishment dished out to Chelsea.

I miscounted earlier, it's actually 19 red cards not 17. Caicedo was never sent off for us, Sanchez was against Newcastle, Stephens against Cardiff and Proper against Huddersfield. The full list is below. Dunk 18-19 Bournemouth (a) 20-21 Palace (a), Wolves (a) 21-22 Man Utd (a) 23-24 Forest...

It was reported that the price would go up based on his performances on loan, but the option is Stuttgart's, if they want to exercise it there is little we can do to stop them. It's effectively a release clause that just applies to one club, and if they want to exercise it then it's down to the...

I thought the first few Nike home shirts we had in the Championship were fairly decent, apart from the ridiculous sponsor transfer panel. Since we’ve been in the PL though the home shirts have been naff and getting worse season on season (with exception for the 20-21 shirt that I really liked)...

Well it’s not our biggest fear but if it does happen then the largest downside will be you boring us with your presence all summer. You’d be nowhere to be seen otherwise as you are a coward who only has the balls to come on here when things are going well for Palace. I mean why else would you...

Turns out Edison has fractured his eye socket and will be out of the final game of the season and the FA Cup final.

My boy has been called up to the second XI for Saturday for his debut in men’s cricket. He was due to be playing for the thirds but they can’t get enough players and after a drop out in the seconds he’s been asked to play. Delighted for him at juat 13 that he’s been given this chance. He’s very...

If Stuttgart want to exercise the option to buy there is little we can do to stop it happening. The only way it wouldn’t happen is if Undav himself rejects the move or we agree to compensate Stuttgart to remove the option to buy clause.

Sixth or seventh will get the conference League spot depending on what happens in the FA Cup. If City win then 6th get Europa League and 7th would get conference league. As United have virtually no chance of 6th (would take a goal difference swing unheard of before) then if they win the FA Cup...
