IF he is given the chance he will prove to be one of England's greatest talents, ever.

My point in using the term was to illustrate that as a cup it is commonly derided; reflecting a broader perception of said cup in the modern game when compring it to other more prestigeous honours. (If this wasn't entirely apparent, then I'll hold my hands up and own it....)
Alternatively, I'd say it was the second most prestigious cup victory of the 3 we've enjoyed since the trophies became scarcer in N17.
Tho again, I emphasise, I'm not looking to play anything down from my own FAN perspective (we're talking about PLAYER perception here remember!).
I've seen reports that a) Levy was pissed about CE going public with his desire to leave and b) that Levy wanted £140m i've not seen anything else of note.....
You've flipped from "we're not looking to sell", to "no-one wants to buy him", to "we'll only accept a cash only deal".
What reports are you talking about.. Hit re-set and go from there if you prefer.
My main bone of contention here isn't so much seasons's performance as it is his head being elsewhere for the final... His comments and the timing of them back this up.
The fact that his form dipped noticeably last time there was a contract impasse bolsters such concerns further... Why wouldn't that be a factor all over again and in turn beg legitimate questions about his whole season?
So you WE'RE the one that brought the analogy into play then?
Grrrreat.
Needless denial on your part then.
"Keeps them speculating" meaning they'll speculate and print said speculations anyway, but gives them as little as possible.... You're also missing the point that we're comparing a man held-bent on succeeding with this team whilst being trolled by the press on a bi-weekly basis vs someone that in his OWN words fancies a "new challenge" (yet still could have delined to show his hand given how little good it stoood to do him).
So now I have an agenda against CE specifically???? ....Now you're just being silly!!!
I've already reference myself being pissed at Rose (and in other discussions, Defoe) for similar in the past.
Look at it this way. CE may have enjoyed a little more benefit of the doubt from me post CL final for his performance levels over the past season if he HADN'T spoken out in the manner and timing that he did..... It's not like I'd been calling him out for having an outright shite season before the CL final came around..... He's fed my suspicions and I'm far from the only one on this front.[/quote]

Of course, if we'd signed Wan-Bissaka it would have been a brilliant move and £55 million seen as a fair price
I'd have to say Manure are the only team more desperate than us to sign literally anybody right now. Being who they are, they will always pay top shelf. I'd imagine both sides think paying top dollar is the way to go. For the seller it is good business and for manure is a "statement of intent/wheel".
Young = "could serve us for 10 years" = premium.
Older = "experienced"/"entering prime" = premium.
Another symptom of a fucked market.
Record FB fee for 1 year as a mid-tabler...
Be fair, that's one hell of a mantle to live up to.

I say lets bring in Crouchy on a free to replace Nando anyway.
Only 38, probably be winning headers into his 50s.

Tbf, the boy Cliff Jones always looks good for his age.....
I just think that's a bit naive. Bar a few players like Kane, most would take the chance to go to a legendary club like Madrid, win stuff and get a much higher salary.
That's true Madrid don't go more than a season or two without winning anything the board and fan's just don't allow it and they are the most attractive team for most player's.
Very insightful. 10/10. Thanks, Sky Sports.
Bit like Walker though... More than a little contradictory blowing a good chance of a major trophy by whilst you're dreaming of potentially winning trophies at another club in the future..
Am I the only one a bit meh about lo Celso?
Ndombele is the only hype train I’m entering this summer

Unsure if serious.
Very serious mate.
Don't see it, he is feeble and switches off defensively an awful lot.
