If Defoe gets sold I want Moyes to have a full-on meltdown on live TV and quit his job while being interviewed.

If they sell Defoe they're absolutely going down. May as well make a fight of it for the sake of £8m or whatever the price would be.

West Ham have literally told Moyes to name his price.

What's the appropriate value of a guy out of contract in 6 months? Genuinely curious. Snodgrass' performances this season seem to merit more money, but I'm not ITK

He's out of contract in 18 months because Hull had an option to extend it for year which they used. They did it with a bunch of their players.

edit: "Hull, bottom of the Premier League have announced they have triggered one-year options on the contracts of Snodgrass, Michael Dawson, Andrew Robertson, Jake Livermore, Harry Maguire and Abel Hernández."

Yeah this is suddenly everywhere. It'd be very surprising unless Alexis was going to leave soon. It feels a bit like Torino's president could just be trying to talk up Belotti's value.

An Italian trying to talk something up? Don't be ridiculous.

Chelsea recalled Nathan Ake with "immediate effect" which seems...really loving weird?

Not really, considering they have like 2 and half centrebacks for their 3 CB system.

It doesn't make sense to me. Chelsea have Luiz, Cahill, Terry and Zouma that are all natural CBs. Azpillicueta has looked pretty good on the right and Ivanovic should be an ok backup as well. And then Chalobah could probably slot in anywhere in the back 3 as well. So that's 7 players for 3 positions.

Terry is 80 years old and completely dead. Cahill is alright, but nothing more. Ideally Azpilicueta would be playing the right wing back role if he hasn't forgotten how to be a right back at this point

Tom Carroll was down the liberty this afternoon.

I wonder if he will turn out to be more expensive than Ryan Mason. He's a tiny bit younger, but also better.

Watch him cost like £14m+ for being young'ish and english and being sold by Levy.

Speaking of transfers and fun, this is an amazing article.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jan/17/west-ham-strikers-david-sullivan-gold-simone-zaza-scott-hogan

quote:

West Ham would be wise to pause and consider a statistic that should make David Sullivan and David Gold wince. In the seven years since the pair bought the club, West Ham have completed 32 deals for new strikers for four different managers and the numbers make for grim reading. Between them those players have managed 128 goals in 643 games.

Guardian reporting now that Crystal Palace are close to signing Patrick van Aanhalt for £9m rising to potentially £12m.

If Sunderland actually sell him that must be the final sign that Moyes has given up.

Apparently AC Milan are in talks with Watford about selling M'baye Niang for about €16m.
I thought he was finally doing well at Milan, but I guess if you need the money then you need the money.

Are there any recent stories about players not getting paid in China?


I know Drogba said that he hadn't been paid and used it at his reason for tearing up the contract and moving to Galatasaray, but that was some years ago now and just the one club.

I mean, Dario Conca has been there for ages now as one of the highest paid players in the world so the money is obviously there.

He's only gone and done a Payet. (assuming it is the real Ulloa account)

Southampton have agreed a deal with Napoli to sign Manolo Gabbiadini for £14.6m with a further £2.6m in performance-related bonuses. The two clubs have been discussing a potential deal for weeks, with the Serie A team turning down an offer of an initial £13.7m with £3.4m in add-ons last week.
