Is there some kind of rule that white kids born in England in the last 25 years have to have silly names

Gazz Jr. is double barrelled so he can form his own cadet branch of my family house.

His coat of arms is a Monster Truck.

We need an East/West bowl but for a U21 England team.

What a coup.

Well, that false sense of confidence we had after the Red Bull investment lasted all of a couple of weeks...

The buzz was always that we'd sell Summerville but I think we'd all come to accept that on the grounds of him doing well last year and it's fair enough if he wants to push on and try his luck in the Prem. The hope was Gray would see it as too soon to move, either out of the family ties or because his playing time would be limited compared to what he'd get here. So to lose him at the first opportunity feels like a kick in the teeth. The only thing that would dampen it is if there's a loan back built in (unlikely if they're spending £40m) or if this leads to some crazy bidding war where Chelsea suddenly walk in with 75m.

The Newcastle PSR firesale continues, Minteh to Brighton for £30, Anderson to Forest (do they ever learn?) for £35m. The fees feel ridiculous, though both have huge potential.

That second one will be a saga.

It's awesome and cool that clubs will have entirely new squads every season just to stay compliant with arbitrary rules. As a fan that's great because I love not knowing who anyone is.

We're also working on a deal to bring Ozamataz Buckshank in for £15m, a 2026 NBA first round draft pick, a 2027 MLB third round pick, a crate of cucumbers, the registration rights of a 2004 Cessna, two weeks in Fuertaventura, and cash considerations.

Glad to hear Cash is gonna land on his feet.

Plus Peter Odemwingie.

[Cymbols]

Genuinely gutted to see him go. PSR is bullshit.

 

[Colly]

Massive.

Joe Rodon is signing for Leeds as part of the Archie Gray deal. Meanwhile, Ben Johnson has signed for Ipswich. 

[King Ellis]

There was some talk there might be some P&S massaging going on between Leeds and Spurs, we get say 40m for Archie and then immediately send 20 back for Rodon and Skipp.

Getting Rodon back goes some way to softening the Archie issue but it's still not ideal.

[Lineker]

Perhaps on the Leeds end. We're in a good financial spot.
