being reported that the agent fee part of the Haaland deal is €40M. yikes So the agent fee is an additional 66.66% on top of the transfer fee. :shock: so that's £85M so far, then add in a possible signing on fee. I also always assume there are a bunch of other fees paid out here and there that we d...

Absolute shocker of a tackle by Dan James for Leeds last night. Not quite sure how he could protest it. "Hey Siri, show me the definition of reckless" https://i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk/incoming/article26940816.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/1_JS265944102.jpg Lolzed at the Leeds manager who could be s...

he's just a box to box midfielder in the old fashioned mould (when 'old fashioned' means only a few years ago)

RG30 How many Premier League goals would everyone have Haaland in for next season?

NathStPaul Haarland has cost Manchester City £2m less than United paid for Fred.

only on one of the fees that go into making up a total cost of transferring someone between clubs

He does not really have a "weaker" foot per se, perfect example of a 2 footed player If a stat needs to involve the statistician to also make a judgement on what the person thinks, what their intention is etc then it has no value at all. I quite like the with pens/without pens stat. Its t...

all manner of journalists insisting over and over for the past year that his buy out clause was €75M and now the deal is done it turns out it was actually €60M :lol: I reckon 95% of football journalists are just copying each other and changing the odd word here or there to make it look like their ow...

I wonder if Firmino will look to leave soon. Seems to have become the firm back up to whatever front 3 they put out. Still 30, could get a move to another very good club if he wanted to be a regular starter

loosely related - commentators who make a big deal of something for a player that I am sure that player doesn't care about. in particular scoring their first goal in a particular competition 'he will be glad to finally get his first FA cup goal' 5 months after joining a club and scoring a number of ...

Hadn't heard the 'weaker foot goals' stat, but was mentioned in commentary in the game against Liverpool that Son has more Premier League goals than anyone in the last three (I think) seasons if you exclude penalties. I know penalties still have to be scored, but it's a still a surprising stat, to ...

Roma messing up in the league last night. At the start of the season I read that Mourinho would be judged on getting them back into the Europa League in his first season and finishing above Lazio. A win against Fiorentina last night would have taken them level with Lazio, who are in 5th, and with th...

Can't decide if I want Man Utd get the Conference League place or miss out on Europe all together

Various cclaims that Dortmund are willing to sell Youssoufa Moukoko this summer

He's the 17 year old with a crazy goalscoring record in their youth teams. The same stories of him being older than he says he is have also surfaced again.

the stats thing in football is going even more insane than it had already become. I already get irrationally annoyed when people talk about assists (because they couldn't be more of an absolute nonsense), but recently I have seen further attempts at muddying the water and trying to make assists seem...
