This was what destroyed the Marc Guehi transfer to Liverpool. Looks like somebody was doing some secret work in the background. Interesting. Who could have been doing that secret, behind-the-scenes work?

This is important to know and figure out so as to understand how the transfer market works. THFC grabbed Kudus from West Ham. Kudus is from Ghana, where he was born. And he retained his citizenship. Still plays for Ghana. Didn't sell out to a Western nation. Personally, I tend to respect that. Guehi is from Côte d’Ivoire, which is where he was born, but he plays for England. And this Igor Julio is Brazilian.

Football is and can be a very, very ethnic thing. As everyone knows.

This utter bollocks and vaguely racist. Have you heard Marc Guehi speak? The man's as British as any England player in the squad he came to England as a one year old and grew up in Lewisham. Its not football that's very ethnic its you. As for your respect I'm sure the want of it is keeping the millionaire up at night.

I agree , this fan base amazes me sometimes , we have enough to be miserable about over almost 40 years without finding no joy in our wonderful EL win . I don’t care how shit the final was , my son and I will always have Bilbao , memories that will last a lifetime for both of us .

You'd have to be pretty joyless to put your focus on the manner of the win over the euphoria of winning it.

All the years of heartache just made that joy more intense.

Are these not the moments we live for as fans?

Exactly.

We're actually one of the lucky ones in that most seasons in recent times we have a chance at 4 trophies. Some more realistic than others, but we're fancied to be there or thereabouts.

Take the Premier League teams - most aren't in Europe, most know they've no chance at the league so it's just two domestic cups they realistically are battling for (ignoring the 'trophy' of Premier League survival).

There aren't many cups out there. Nothing will spoil any we win for me.

I am all for speculative purchases of young talent. Dele is probably the finest example in our recent history, and both Bergvall and Sarr look being very successful purchases in the same vein. However, I still cannot get my head around spending as much as £40m on the likes of Gray and Tel. That is an awful lot to spend on players that the club clearly acknowledge are not ready to start (otherwise we wouldn't have gone out to get Palhinha, Muani, and tried to buy Savinho). With the £80m we have committed to Gray and Tel we could have bought MGW or Savinho early in this window. If Levy really wants to win the PL and the CL we need more Savinhos and less Tels. Either Tel and Gray start and develop and become the players we want in 18 months, or they stagnate and go backwards. If we had of bought Wharton when he moved to Palace he'd still be an unused squad player and woudl not have shown any of th eform he has found at Palace.
